Infidelity Therapy for Aurora Couples
You tried someone local. Someone who takes insurance. Someone who seemed "good enough." But months later, you're still having the same fights. Still can't sleep. Your therapist doesn't have specialized training in betrayal trauma.
Book Your Free ConsultationWhat Most Aurora Couples Don't Know About Infidelity Therapy
When you're dealing with an affair, you go online and search for "couples therapist near me Aurora" or "marriage counselor 80012." You find someone with good reviews, they take your insurance or charge $120 a session, and you book an appointment.
But after a few sessions, nothing's getting better. If anything, it's worse. You're fighting more. The betrayed partner feels crazier. The unfaithful partner is more defensive.
Here's why: most therapists aren't trained to treat infidelity specifically.
❌ What Most Therapists Do
- Apply general couples therapy techniques
- Tell you to "move forward" too quickly
- Make both partners equally responsible
- Focus on communication skills
- Avoid the hard questions about disclosure
- See infidelity maybe 5% of the time
✓ What SART-Trained Specialists Do
- Use evidence-based affair recovery protocols
- Treat betrayal as trauma that needs healing
- Help unfaithful partner take real accountability
- Work through disclosure safely
- Follow structured phases of recovery
- Work exclusively with couples facing infidelity
Why "Good Enough" Therapy Doesn't Work for Infidelity
If you broke your leg, you wouldn't go to a general doctor who "sometimes sees broken bones." You'd go to an orthopedic specialist. Same thing here.
Infidelity creates trauma. The betrayed partner often has symptoms similar to PTSD - intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, hypervigilance. That needs specialized treatment, not generic "improve your communication" advice.
Most Aurora therapists mean well. They're good at what they do. But what they do is general couples therapy - and that's not enough when you're dealing with betrayal trauma.
Meet Kayla Crane: Colorado's SART-Certified Specialist
Kayla doesn't do anxiety. She doesn't do depression. She doesn't see teenagers or families. She doesn't do individual therapy.
She works exclusively with couples recovering from infidelity and betrayal. That's it. That's all she does.
She's trained in SART (Systematic Affair Recovery Training), which is one of the most respected certification programs for infidelity recovery. Only a small percentage of therapists pursue this training because it requires years of experience and intensive study.
She's also trained in Relational Life Therapy, which helps couples understand the deeper patterns that created vulnerability to the affair in the first place.
When you work with a specialist like Kayla, you're not getting someone who "also does couples therapy." You're getting someone who sees betrayal trauma every single day and knows exactly how to help couples heal.

What SART Training Does for Aurora Couples
SART stands for Systematic Affair Recovery Training. It's not something therapists learn in grad school. It's specialized certification they pursue after years of practice - and only if they're serious about being infidelity specialists.
Most therapists never get this training. Why? Because they're generalists. They see a little bit of everything. Getting SART certified only makes sense if you're going to dedicate your practice to affair recovery.
Here's what SART training gives Kayla that your local therapist probably doesn't have:
Roadmap for Recovery
She knows exactly what needs to happen in each phase. Disclosure comes before rebuilding. Accountability comes before forgiveness. Most therapists are just guessing.
Trauma Treatment
Betrayal causes real trauma symptoms. She treats it like trauma - not just "relationship issues" or "trust problems."
Accountability Without Shame
The unfaithful partner needs to take responsibility without drowning in shame. That balance is incredibly hard - but she knows how to do it.
Virtual or In-Person: Your Choice
Kayla's office is in Castle Rock at 753 Maleta Lane - about 35-40 minutes south of Aurora via E-470 and I-25.
But here's what Aurora couples tell us: they wasted more time driving to the wrong therapist in Aurora than it takes to drive to a specialist.
Most couples who find Kayla have already tried 1-2 therapists closer to home. They spent months - sometimes 6+ months - with someone who wasn't trained in infidelity recovery. They're done wasting time with therapists who are "pretty good" at couples therapy. They need someone who specializes in this specific type of trauma.
Plus, Kayla offers virtual sessions. Many Aurora couples do therapy from home via video. Same specialized care, same results - just no drive time.
Virtual Therapy: No Drive, Same Expert Care
Let's be real: driving from Aurora to Castle Rock after work sounds exhausting. Especially when you're already emotionally drained from dealing with betrayal.
That's why most Aurora couples choose virtual sessions - at least to start. You get the same SART-trained specialist, the same structured approach, the same proven results. Just from your couch instead of making the drive.
Virtual therapy works especially well for:
- Couples with demanding work schedules
- Partners who work at Buckley or have military obligations
- Anyone who doesn't want neighbors seeing them at a local therapy office
- Couples who want evening sessions without the drive home
- Days when you just can't deal with traffic
Some couples do all virtual. Some do mostly virtual with occasional in-person. Some start virtual and switch to in-person once they're feeling better. You're not locked into one way - do whatever works for you.
Questions Aurora Couples Actually Ask
"Can't I just find someone in Aurora who takes my insurance?"
You can. But if they're not trained in affair recovery, you're going to spend months making no progress - and your insurance won't cover much anyway since most couples therapists are out-of-network. South Denver Therapy partners with Mentaya to help you get 40-80% reimbursed from insurance. You end up paying similar amounts, but you're getting specialized care instead of generic couples therapy.
"What if my partner won't make the drive to Castle Rock?"
Start with virtual. Most resistant partners are more willing to try therapy from home than drive somewhere new. Once they see it's actually helping (not just talking in circles like before), they often become more invested. But plenty of couples stay virtual the whole time - it works just as well.
"How do I know she won't just blame me for the affair?"
She won't. Were there problems in your relationship? Probably. But those problems didn't cause the affair. Your partner chose to cheat instead of talking to you, suggesting therapy, or ending the relationship. That choice is on them. Kayla helps the unfaithful partner take real accountability - not make excuses.
"What if there are still lies and secrets?"
That's super common. The first story you got probably wasn't complete. Part of SART training is knowing how to facilitate disclosure - getting the full truth out in a way that doesn't traumatize you more. Most therapists either avoid this conversation or handle it so poorly that it causes more damage.
"How long until things feel normal again?"
Honest answer: 12-18 months if you're both doing the work. That sounds like forever when you're in crisis right now, but it's realistic. Anyone who promises you'll feel better in a few weeks is lying. Recovery takes time - but it does happen with the right specialist guiding you.
Practical Info for Aurora Couples
How much does it cost?
$215 for a 60-minute session. Kayla also offers 90-minute sessions for couples who need more processing time. Through Mentaya (South Denver Therapy's insurance partner), most Aurora couples get 40-80% reimbursed from their insurance for out-of-network therapy. Check your coverage on our FAQs page.
Where exactly is the Castle Rock office?
753 Maleta Lane, Suite 101F in Castle Rock. From Aurora, take E-470 south to I-25 south. Exit at Founders Parkway. It's about 35-40 minutes depending on traffic. Free parking in the lot. But again - most Aurora couples do virtual sessions, so the location doesn't matter as much.
Does she only see married couples?
No. Engaged, dating seriously, married, divorced but still involved - if you're dealing with infidelity in a committed relationship, she can help. The trauma is the same regardless of whether you have a marriage certificate.
What if only one of us wants to do therapy?
You can start on your own. Kayla will work with you individually to process what happened and figure out what you want. Often, once one person starts therapy and begins healing, the other partner becomes more willing to join. But even if they never do, you still benefit from understanding the trauma and making decisions from a clear place instead of panic.
How soon can we get an appointment?
Usually within 1-2 weeks. Kayla knows that when you've just discovered infidelity, you're in crisis mode. Waiting 6 weeks for an appointment isn't realistic. She works Monday-Saturday (Fridays off) to make scheduling easier for working Aurora couples.
What if we've already tried therapy and it didn't work?
That's actually most of Kayla's clients. They tried someone local first - someone who seemed good on paper but didn't have specialized training. After months of no progress (or getting worse), they realized they needed a specialist. Don't think of it as therapy "not working" - think of it as trying the wrong type of therapy for this specific problem.
Can we switch between virtual and in-person sessions?
Yes. Some couples do mostly virtual with occasional in-person. Some do the opposite. Some start virtual and switch to in-person once they're ready. You're not locked into one format - do whatever works for your schedule and emotional state that week.
