You're trying to heal the same relationship from two very different places. You don't have to figure it out alone.
Online Couples Group Therapy for Betrayal Trauma & Recovery (Tennessee & New Jersey)
When Home Stops Feeling Safe
Maybe you love your partner and can't stand them at the same time. Maybe small things turn into big fights, and you can't understand why the triggers keep coming when you're both trying so hard. If you're the betrayed partner, you might catch yourself wondering who this person really is, the one you fell in love with. If you're the partner who caused the hurt, you might be doing everything you know to do and still hearing that the people you love are hurt and angry.
Most couples in this place feel unsafe, unappreciated, and a little lost. Some start to feel more like roommates than lovers. None of that means your relationship is over. It means betrayal trauma is doing what it does, and you haven't yet been given the tools to work through it together.
A Different Kind of Room
I'm Allan J. Katz, a licensed counselor and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT). I lead a ten week online group for couples working to rebuild after sex addiction and betrayal. Individual and couples therapy do important work, but a group gives you something they can't: the chance to see other couples fighting the same fight, to learn from where they are, and to realize that what's happening in your home isn't a sign you're failing. It's a sign you're in recovery.
Why Couples Group Works When Going It Alone Doesn't
It breaks the isolation.
Betrayal often leaves both partners feeling like no one could understand. Hearing another couple describe your exact struggle changes that fast.
It gives you a shared language.
You learn how to communicate, listen, and disagree without taking every word personally, so conversations stop turning into battles.
It builds accountability together.
You leave with a safety plan, clear boundaries, and a structure that keeps both of you moving forward between sessions.
The Disconnection Underneath the Fighting
After discovery, most couples think the problem is the arguing. Usually the arguing is a symptom. Underneath it is a break in safety and trust, and both partners are trying to protect themselves in ways that push the other away. The betrayed partner needs safety before they can soften. The partner in recovery needs to learn how to offer that safety without shutting down. Group helps you see that pattern clearly, and once you can see it, you can start to change it. That's the path from recovery to serenity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do we know which track is right for us?
That's what the consultation is for. We'll talk about where you are since discovery, what's working, and what isn't, and I'll recommend the track that fits.
What if only one of us is ready to join?
That's more common than you'd think. Reach out anyway. We can talk through what makes sense for your situation.
Do we need to be in individual or couples therapy too?
Many couples find group works best alongside other support, but it depends on your situation. We'll go over it in your consultation. For couples who need to move faster, a couples intensive condenses months of work into a few focused days.
Is it really confidential?
Yes. Every member agrees to keep what's shared in the group private, and sessions are held on a secure platform.
How do we join?
Start by requesting a consultation. From there, we'll confirm your track and your start date and walk you through registration.
