Our Supervisors

Sam Richardson, LMFT

Owner

Has your relationship been impacted by an affair, problematic pornography use, and one of you has trauma from sexual betrayal? Infidelity and betrayal trauma can turn your world upside down and make you feel like the rug has been yanked out from under you. I specialize in working with infidelity, betrayal trauma, and problematic sexual behavior. I have enjoyed working with individuals and couples as they are often affected by problematic pornography use and live affairs. Also, I've been privileged to provide supervision to student interns in UNLV's Marriage & Family Therapy program and am an AAMFT Approved Supervisor.

I understand how devastating infidelity can be on a relationship, both physical/sexual affairs and emotional affairs. I have specialized training to help heal both the trauma from betrayal as well as the help the one that crossed the boundary to bring back a sense of control and self worth.

I'm sure that it can feel right now that there is no hope, no solution, and no control. I'm here to tell you that healing is real, relationships can become stronger, and worth can be restored.
