You’re a professional. You’re used to handling hard things.
But this? You weren’t trained for this. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
When infidelity, porn use, or sexual acting out detonates a relationship, it doesn’t just stay “between you two.”
It hits your work. Your focus. Your health. Your sense of who you are.
And right now, you’re barely holding it together.
You need structure.
You need people who understand.
You need a path forward as you work on your relationship.
For professionals who can manage a company, lead a team, or solve complex problems at work—but feel powerless when it comes to the damage happening at home.
The Right Process Changes Everything
I’m Cheryl Camarillo, LCSW, CSAT, CST. Since 1994, I’ve worked with people navigating sexual issues in relationships. Since 2017, I’ve focused exclusively on deceptive sexuality and betrayal trauma — and since 2018, I’ve worked with 250+ couples and conducted 4,000+ individual sessions in this specialty alone.
What I’ve learned after all of that work is this: most couples cannot reconcile on their own — not because they don’t love each other, but because betrayal trauma requires a very specific kind of help that most therapists simply aren’t trained to provide.
I’m trained in the Minwalla Model, an approach built on a simple but powerful idea: healing only becomes possible when the pain is clearly named and safety is rebuilt through truth — not around it. It moves couples from crisis, to understanding, to rebuilding — in that order.
I am one of a limited number of therapists in the country certified in deceptive sexual trauma through the Institute of Sexual Health. I also hold certifications in sex addiction therapy and sex therapy, and I have trained future clinicians at the university level.
My clients describe me as straightforward, caring, and non-judgmental. Couples who have seen multiple therapists before finding me often say the same thing — nothing started to change until we worked together.
“We had 2 couples therapists and 3 personal therapists over 5 years, and nothing started to change until Cheryl worked with both of us. She understood the trauma, the damage to our relationship, and our worries about our children.”
There is a path out of the crisis.
Which path is yours?

For Men Ready to Stop Hiding and Start Repairing
If you’re the one who lied, cheated, or lived a secret sexual life and you’re done hiding:
You’ll learn to see your choices clearly—not as “mistakes” or “private issues,” but as deception that caused real harm. Harm to yourself. Harm to your partner. Harm to your relationship. And harm to your family and community.
You’ll stop minimizing and blaming, and start taking full ownership of the damage—all of it. And in a group of people doing the same hard work, you’ll rebuild the integrity, honesty, and self-respect you’ve lost.
The goal isn’t punishment—it’s growth and a future you’re not afraid to look at.
What Changes for You
Ability to tell the truth without defensiveness
Tools to rebuild trust through actions, not promises
Freedom from shame and secrecy
A clear path forward, whether your relationship continues or not
“Everything I would say upset my partner. After seeing Cheryl, I learned she needed something else — she needed me to be there for her. She needed me to hear her.”
Imagine having hard conversations without defensiveness—because you’re no longer hiding anything.

Truth, Trust, and Transformation (T3)
For the Women Ready to Stop Hurting and Start Healing
If you’re the one who was lied to, cheated on, or kept in the dark and you’re done feeling crazy:
You’ll be validated for your pain and stop blaming yourself or questioning your reality. You’re not crazy—what happened to you is real, and your reactions are completely normal.
You’ll learn to steady your nervous system and manage the anxiety, triggers, and sleepless nights that come with betrayal trauma.
You’ll understand what actually happened to you and why it’s affecting you the way it is—so you can finally make sense of your experience.
You’ll rebuild trust in yourself and your judgment—whether you stay or leave.
What Changes for You
Clarity about what actually happened (and what it means).
Tools to manage trauma symptoms and daily functioning.
Confidence in your decisions and your reality.
A stronger, healthier version of yourself—regardless of what happens with your relationship.
“My husband is a true partner, and I am the person I want to be, strong and confident. Not hurting and broken.”
“People like to say as the partner, you need to do these different things, but with Cheryl’s help, I learned that my needs are just as important.”
Imagine waking up without the constant knot in your stomach and trusting your own judgment again.

Voices From the Group

“Something I hear consistently from women in T3 is how hard it is to find a place where they feel truly accepted. One participant told me she had never felt comfortable being completely open about her feelings until she found this group. No judgment. Just women who understood. That sense of safety isn’t accidental — it’s built into everything we do.”
I needed a program that focused on more than just the behavior. I needed a place to learn how to rebuild my relationship. Cheryl’s group program meets both of my needs.
“This is a confidential, no-obligation 30-minute call. We’ll talk about where you are, whether this program is the right fit for your situation, and what comes next. No pressure, no commitment. Just a real conversation.”
