Welcome to Ampersand

Where sexually betrayed partners can experience validation, hope, and healing from their trauma.

What is

Sexual
Betrayal
Trauma

Sexual betrayal trauma is when one partner of a relationship is hurt by the sexually acting out actions of their partner. Whether it is through your partner having an affair, compulsively using pornography, or engaging in any kind of sexually acting out behavior; these actions cause deep trauma in the betrayed partner and can feel like being engulfed in a forest fire with no firefighters in sight.

You've come to the right place.

Relating both as a partner and as a clinician who has worked with many partners, Jackie knows the experience of sexual betrayal trauma and the recovery, hope, and healing that is possible. It would be an honor to walk alongside you during your journey to recover you.

After destruction and devastation comes

New Growth & Restoration

Assessments

We are able to administer assessments that both measure the severity of both your betrayal trauma and any PTSD symptoms that may be present.

Therapy

Through a process of both individual and group therapies, partners can find their way back to themselves; living the way they were meant to live rather than living in fear and reacting out of trauma.

Disclosure

For couples who wish to heal their relationship and move toward restoration, this is a three part process done with both partners and mediated by both a CPTT and a CSAT.

A Holistic Approach

"We use a holistic approach to healing at Ampersand. By partnering with other professionals and organizations we encourage treatment that encompasses healing of the mind, body, and spirit."
