Jennifer Cieslewicz MA, LMHCA

Many of my clients come to therapy after discovering hidden sexual behaviors, pornography use, infidelity, financial deception, or other patterns of secrecy in their relationship. I provide trauma-informed therapy for individuals healing from betrayal, relational deception, and integrity abuse in intimate relationships. My work supports those who have experienced the emotional and psychological impact of these patterns. Together, we focus on restoring safety, clarity, and trust in your perceptions so that healing and empowered choices become possible. Deceptive Sexuality & Trauma Therapy recognizes that ongoing deception in intimate relationships can create significant psychological and relational harm. When important aspects of a partner’s behavior are hidden or misrepresented, it can disrupt a person’s sense of safety, trust, and reality. This therapeutic approach supports those affected by relational deception and recognizes that chronic patterns of deception can create trauma responses similar to other forms of relational and psychological harm. My clinical work is informed by the Deceptive Sexuality Trauma framework (Minwalla, 2012; 2015) and by over 84 hours of APA-approved advanced education completed directly with Dr. Omar Minwalla, who developed the original trauma model for partners of sex-addicted men and later expanded it into the Deceptive Sexuality & Trauma Treatment (DSTT) Model. This work is further informed by a personal understanding of the complexities of betrayal, allowing me to offer both clinical clarity and deep, attuned empathy. You do not have to navigate the pain, confusion, or betrayal alone. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to process what has happened, reconnect with your inner clarity, and begin rebuilding your sense of safety, trust, and empowerment.
