When a Denver Therapist Isn't Trained in Infidelity Recovery
Three months ago, you found out. Maybe you've tried therapy already - someone in Capitol Hill or Cherry Creek who seemed nice enough. But after six sessions, you're not getting better. You're getting worse.
The therapist keeps saying "we need to move forward" but you can't stop thinking about what happened. They tell you to focus on communication, but everytime you try to talk, it turns into a fight about who's more hurt.
Here's what nobody tells you: most Denver therapists aren't trained to treat infidelity. They know general couples therapy, but betrayal trauma is different. It needs different skills, different training, different approaches.
The Problem with Most Infidelity Therapists
Denver has hundreds of therapists. On Psychology Today, you can filter by zip code and see dozens of options within 5 miles of your house. But here's what you don't see in those profiles:
They're Generalists
They see anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, and occasionally couples. Infidelity is maybe 5% of their caseload. They don't see it enough to really know what works.
No Specialized Training
Most took one weekend workshop on couples therapy in grad school. They've never been trained in affair recovery specifically. They're improvising based on general counseling skills.
They Rush the Process
After a few sessions, they want you to "move on" or "stop dwelling on the past." But you're not dwelling - you're traumatized. That needs to be addressed first.
Both Partners Get Blamed
They try to be "neutral" by saying both people contributed to problems in the marriage. But the affair was a choice, and that accountability matters for healing.
Real Talk: You Already Wasted Time with the Wrong Therapist
Most couples who find specialized infidelity therapy have already seen 1-2 other therapists first. They spent months - sometimes 6+ months - with someone who wasn't trained in affair recovery. They got worse, not better. Their trust issues got deeper. Their fights got meaner.
That's not your fault. You didn't know most therapists aren't trained for this. But now you do.
Meet Kayla Crane: SART-Certified Infidelity Specialist
Kayla Crane doesn't do general therapy. She doesn't see individuals for anxiety or depression. She doesn't work with families or teenagers.
She works exclusively with couples dealing with infidelity and broken trust. That's it. That's all she does.
She's trained in SART (Systematic Affair Recovery Training) - one of the most respected certification programs for affair recovery. She's also trained in Relational Life Therapy, which helps couples understand the patterns that created vulnerability to betrayal.
This combination of specialization and training is rare. Most therapists are generalists who see infidelity occasionally. Kayla sees it every single day and has the specialized credentials to prove it.
Generalist vs. Specialist: What's the Difference?
What SART Training Actually Means for You
SART stands for Systematic Affair Recovery Training. It's not something you learn in grad school. It's specialized certification that therapists pursue after they've already been practicing for years.
Most therapists never get this training because they don't specialize in infidelity. It's expensive, it's time-intensive, and you only need it if you're serious about being an affair recovery specialist.
Here's what it gives Kayla that your typical therapist probably doesn't have:
Phase-Based Recovery
She knows what needs to happen in each stage of healing. There's a reason certain things come before others. Most therapists skip around randomly.
Trauma-Informed Care
Betrayal causes actual trauma symptoms - flashbacks, hypervigilance, panic. She treats it like trauma, not just "trust issues."
Accountability Framework
She knows how to help the unfaithful partner take real accountability without just wallowing in shame. That balance is critical.
Disclosure Process
If there are still secrets, she knows how to facilitate disclosure safely. Most therapists either avoid this or make it worse.
Serving Denver Couples with Virtual & In-Person Options
Kayla's office is located in Castle Rock, about 35-40 minutes south of downtown Denver via I-25. Many Denver couples appreciate the privacy of seeing a therapist outside their immediate neighborhood.
She also offers virtual infidelity therapy sessions for Denver couples. On days when traffic is bad or you're not up for the drive, you can do therapy from home. You still get specialized SART training - just through a screen instead of in person. Many couples prefer virtual sessions, especially in the beginning when emotions are raw.
Virtual Sessions: Same Specialist Care, No Commute
Some days, the thought of getting in the car and driving anywhere feels impossible. Especially when you're dealing with betrayal trauma and can barely function.
That's why Kayla offers virtual infidelity therapy for Denver couples. You get the same SART-trained specialist care - same structured approach, same trauma-informed treatment - just from your couch instead of her office.
Many Denver couples prefer virtual sessions because:
- No need to find parking or navigate Denver traffic
- Can schedule sessions during lunch breaks without commute time
- More privacy - nobody sees you walking into a therapy office
- Easier to fit into busy schedules
The therapy is exactly the same. The results are exactly the same. The only difference is location.
The Questions Denver Couples Actually Ask
"Why can't I just see someone in my neighborhood?"
You can. But if they're not trained in affair recovery, you're going to spend months spinning your wheels. Most couples who come to Kayla have already tried 1-2 therapists first. They wasted 4-8 months and things got worse. Finding a specialist now saves you months of frustration later.
"What if my partner won't make the drive to Castle Rock?"
Offer virtual as an option. A lot of partners who are resistant to "therapy" are more willing to try something from home first. Once they see it's actually helping, they might be open to the occasional in-person session. Or just stay virtual - it works either way.
"Is the affair my fault too?"
No. Were there problems in your marriage? Maybe. But the affair was a choice your partner made. They could've talked to you, suggested therapy, or ended the relationship. They chose betrayal instead. That's on them. Now, whether you want to work through it together - that's a different question.
"How do I know if we should even try to save this?"
You don't have to decide that now. That's one of the things you'll figure out in therapy. Some couples realize they want to rebuild. Others realize they can't. Both outcomes are okay. Kayla helps you get clarity, not pressure you into staying or leaving.
"What if they're still lying?"
That's common. The first story you got probably wasn't the whole truth. Part of SART training is knowing how to facilitate disclosure - how to help the unfaithful partner tell the truth in a way that doesn't retraumatize you. Most therapists don't know how to do this safely.
Practical Info for Denver Couples
How much does it cost?
$215 for a 60-minute session. She also offers 90-minute sessions for couples who need more time to process. South Denver Therapy partners with Mentaya to help you get reimbursed by insurance for out-of-network care. Most couples get back 40-80% of the cost.
How long will therapy take?
Most couples see Kayla for 6-12 months. Some need less, some need more. Recovery isn't linear. You'll have good weeks and terrible weeks. But couples who stick with it and do the work usually see real improvement by month 3-4.
Does she see individual clients?
No. Kayla only works with couples. But you can start therapy on your own if your partner isn't ready yet. She'll work with you individually until they're willing to join. Many times, once one person starts, the other becomes more open to it.
What if we're not married?
Doesn't matter. Dating, engaged, married, divorced but still connected - if you're dealing with infidelity in a committed relationship, she can help. The trauma is the same regardless of legal status.
Can we switch between virtual and in-person?
Yes. Some couples do virtual most weeks and come in-person once a month. Some do the opposite. You're not locked into one format. Do whatever works for your schedule and your commute tolerance that week.
Where is the Castle Rock office located?
The office is at 202 Sixth Street, Suite 301F in Castle Rock - right off I-25. There's free parking in the lot. From downtown Denver it's about 35-40 minutes, from south Denver neighborhoods like Englewood or Littleton it's about 25-30 minutes.
How soon can we get an appointment?
Usually within 1-2 weeks. Kayla knows that when you're in crisis after discovering infidelity, you need help now - not in 6 weeks. She works Monday-Saturday (Fridays off) to make scheduling easier for working couples.
Stop Wasting Time with Therapists Who Aren't Trained for This
Every week you spend with the wrong therapist is another week of pain, confusion, and fights that go nowhere.
Kayla offers a free 15-minute consultation to see if her approach is right for your situation.
No sales pitch. No pressure. Just an honest conversation about what you're dealing with.
