Our mission

Group therapy helps you realize you are not alone. Each participant is facing similar challenges and share similar experiences. Often before participating in a group, participant regularly feel isolate and alone, that "no one will understand what I am going through." In group everyone will understand, in part or whole, what it is like to face what you are facing because they are facing it to.   

Finding out your partner has had an affair can be devastating. Often this is an emotional trauma many women face in silence or alone. The Northwest Therapy Group is offering a weekly therapy group for women whose partners have had an affair.
