Cheating Therapy + Infidelity Counseling
Specialist, Jared Levine
MSW, LCSW
I have 17+ years of experience helping people untangle the shame, secrecy, and relationship fallout that come with infidelity and rebuild something better in its place.
“That was the last time.”
That’s what many men tell themselves after they’re caught. After a partner finds a text, email, or just stops believing the excuses.
Whether it was a coworker, someone anonymous, or emotional infidelity on text or flirting you’re here because something broke.
And maybe for the first time, you’re realizing how much it could cost
Clients Come To Me When They’re:
Messaging someone they know they shouldn’t
Built emotional closeness with someone outside the relationship
Flirting, sending nudes, hiding conversations
Repeating behaviors despite promising you’d stop
Feeling guilt, shame, or fear that you’ll lose your partner
It’s about the pain underneath: disconnection, shame, unmet needs, or unhealed trauma. My job is to help you understand what’s really going on and how to rebuild.
“The last thing cheating is about is the sex”
My Infidelity Therapy Isn’t
“Just Love Each Other Again”
Infidelity recovery takes more than willpower. It takes self-understanding, structure, and healing what’s beneath the surface.
I use the Patrick Carnes 30 Task Model to help guide this work. It’s a structured, research-based approach for recovery from compulsive sexual behavior, including infidelity.
Patrick Carnes' 30 Task Model — a roadmap to understand your behavior, build awareness, and recover with integrity. We will work through the Facing the Shadows, 3rd edition.
Together we’ll:
Clarify what happened and why
Look at early relationships, attachment dynamics, and how your family modeled intimacy
Uncover how trauma, neglect, or emotional unavailability may have shaped your current behaviors
Build the skills and resources you need to stay connected, not disconnected
How Cheating Therapy
With Me Works
We’ll tailor therapy using a mix of proven, evidence-based tools:
-
structured, evidence-based approachto understand your behavior, build awareness, and recover with integrity.
-
exploring your family of origin and emotional development
-
to reshape unhelpful thought and behavior patterns
-
for building emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness
-
action-based work to explore identity, trauma, and change
-
for healing unresolved trauma that contributes to your behavior
What Clients Take Away From This Work:
This work isn’t about saving or ending a relationship- it’s about helping you become the person you want to be, regardless of what happens next.
Intensity is longer mistaken for intimacy
Recognize what you’re chasing and why
Urges are manageable, not overwhelming
Chaos isn’t the baseline anymore
They stop abandoning themselves in relationships
Quiet is peaceful, not empty
Jared Levine, LCSW
I'm a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist with over 17 years of experience helping people work through infidelity, porn, and other compulsive sexual behaviors.
I’ve completed post-graduate training in family and couple therapy at the Ackerman Institute for the Family in New York, and I draw from a wide range of therapeutic approaches including structured family therapy, DBT, CBT, and psychodrama based on what works best for each client.
I received my Master’s in Social Work from NYU and my B.A. from the College of Staten Island.
I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to be honest with ourselves and with someone who’s not going to judge us. My job is to help you reconnect with yourself and feel whole again.
Outside of therapy, I live with my wife and two and half month old goldendoodle/mini poodle, who’s the joy of my life. I’m also a big fan of the NY Giants and Yankees, and I try to stay active and grounded whether it’s getting outside or just taking time to reset.
