“After therapy for 4 years I knew i needed to try something different. I tried accelerated resolution therapy with Yadira. It’s only been a few session and my anxiety and panic significantly reduced. Therapy with her is so natural doesn’t feel like therapy we chat it up but her words heal.”

Getting to know Yadira Fortunato
Discovering infidelity can make your entire life feel unsteady. You may be replaying what happened, questioning what was real, struggling to sleep or eat, checking for answers, and wondering how you are supposed to make decisions when you can barely think clearly.
I specialize in working with women and men experiencing betrayal trauma after infidelity in a marriage or committed relationship. Therapy gives you a place to stabilize, process what happened, and begin making sense of what comes next.
My approach is active and focused. I use evidence-informed therapy, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), to help you work through painful memories, intense emotions, and the thoughts that can keep you feeling stuck.
You do not have to know yet whether you want to stay, leave, forgive, or rebuild. We can start with helping you feel like yourself again.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You do not need to come into therapy with everything figured out.
Many of my clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, angry, anxious, numb, confused, or consumed by questions about the betrayal. You may feel pressure to decide what happens to your relationship while also trying to work, parent, sleep, and function like everything is normal.
Our first priority is helping you regain stability. From there, we work through the betrayal itself so that your decisions are coming from a clearer, more grounded place rather than from panic, fear, or emotional overload.
I am not here to tell you whether you should stay or leave. My role is to help you understand what you are feeling, process what happened, reconnect with yourself, and decide what you want moving forward.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We begin by looking at how the betrayal is affecting you right now. Are you sleeping? Eating? Getting through work? Parenting? Are your thoughts constantly racing or replaying what happened?
First, we focus on stabilizing the areas that are making everyday life difficult. That may include managing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, emotional swings, sleep disruption, and the urge to constantly search for more information or reassurance.
Once you feel more grounded, we begin processing the betrayal. I may incorporate Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help reduce the emotional intensity connected to painful memories and experiences.
As the emotional fog begins to clear, our work shifts toward rebuilding trust in yourself, understanding what you need, setting boundaries, and making thoughtful decisions about your relationship and your future.
The goal is not to rush you toward a decision. It is to help you get to a place where you can make one with a clearer head.
