When an affair has you stuck, and you're afraid of losing the life you've built, we're here to help you overcome fear, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.
Private coaching for ambitious people who have built an extraordinary life and want to
resolve their affair without blowing it all up.
Judgment-free, strategic, and completely confidential.
How to begin
There are two ways to work with us, depending on where you are right now. One is a limited, high-level private engagement with Lauren, built for exactly the person described above. The other is immediate, flexible work with Michelle, for anyone ready to begin this week. Read below to learn more about both options, how they'll help you, and to book.
What happens in your session
Every session is private, virtual, and built around your specific situation. You'll be met exactly where you are, and you'll leave with more clarity than you came in with and a real sense of your next step. The work is honest and direct, and it's also warm; you're in capable hands the entire time. Whether you come once or work in an ongoing package, the focus is the same: move you forward in the way that matters most for your life.
What our clients say
"Even though I'd worked with another therapist for the past 5 months, meeting with Lauren helped me get the clarity, readiness and confidence in the conversation I needed to have with my spouse. It wasn't easy, but for the first time, I both knew it was the right thing to do and I was ready to walk into the fire. Lauren helped me see that in taking better care of myself, I was also taking care of my spouse, who was also unhappy, but was equally unable to pull the ripcord on our marriage. And when I did, I felt an immediate sense of relief, a sense of hope for the future and a certainty that I had done the right thing. I can't thank you enough for your guidance, your patience, your coaching and your humor in such a difficult time." - M.C., unfaithful spouse
"My world was turned upside-down with my husband's admission of infidelity. After he met with you, everything changed. Lauren, I am infinitely grateful for your guidance." - C.M., betrayed spouse
"Lauren, I just wanted to let you know that you were spot on and even though some of the stuff didn't resonate with me right away you HELPED me a ton. I am happy now, and wanted to say thank you!" - A.L., unfaithful spouse
"There was so much damage in how our relationship began. Michelle helped us salvage what was left and start anew. That was worth everything." - F & A, affair couple
"My husband and I both felt like we got more out of our session with Michelle than we ever did with any of our therapy sessions. For that I am truly grateful!" - P&M, married couple
"You helped me realize why I was doing what I was doing on such a deeper level that I never could have accessed or understood before. Thank you so much, Michelle." - L.W., affair partner
"The targeted and specialized focus that Michelle brings made all the difference. Just one session with you was worth months of work with anyone else." D.C., betrayed spouse
"Michelle, thank you so much. Working with you has been the only bright light in this dark tunnel." - K.L., unfaithful spouse
