Marilyn Jhung, Infidelity and Affair Crisis Specialist, MSW, LCSW, CPD, Coach

When a relationship is in crisis, the most stabilizing thing is a clear process held by someone who can stay steady under pressure. I specialize in helping individuals and couples restore truth, safely regain emotional stability, and move toward clear next steps—especially after infidelity, betrayal, repeated conflict, or long-standing disconnection. My work is structured, time-sensitive, and deeply relational. We begin by restoring a shared understanding of what is true, so your nervous system can settle and you can think again. From there, we move into clarity-building work—identifying the patterns, protective reactions, and unmet needs that have been shaping the relationship for years. The end goal is self-leadership: the ability to respond from your grounded Adult self rather than from shock, shame, anger, or fear. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-based work, differentiation, and relational frameworks to help partners step out of painful roles—pursuerwithdrawer, criticshut-down, moral authorityshame collapse—and into accountable, emotionally mature connection. Some couples use this work to rebuild a stronger “2.0” relationship. Others use it to 'consciously uncouple' with integrity and respect. Either way, the process is designed to restore stability, truth, and agency. This is a structured crisis-stabilization process. Early work can feel uneven or one-sided because we prioritize restoring truth and safety after a rupture. I actively guide the pace and set clear guardrails—boundaries, transparency, and communication rules—to prevent escalation, support accountability, and help you stay steady while life continues. Best fit for high-commitment couples who want a clear, guided process & can stay engaged when it’s uncomfortable—open to direction & willing to practice between sessions. You’ll receive direct feedback, specific assignments, and measurable goals. Designed for honesty, accountability, and follow-through. Start with a 60-minute consultation to assess suitability.

All sessions are online via Zoom and on a self-pay basis ( I do not accept insurances).
