Welcome to the Relational Recovery Institute!
Wait! Didn’t we used to be called the Center for Relational Recovery? Yes indeed, we have had a name change!
Since 2011, the Center for Relational Recovery has provided counseling services to the Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland area, specializing in treating sex addiction, partner betrayal trauma, childhood trauma, and relationship issues.
And the Relational Recovery team of exceptional clinicians continues to provide that invaluable service to local clients who need our help!
Over the past several years we have also been busy developing our sister organization PartnerHope where we offer coaching services to individuals and couples healing from adult sexual betrayal in partnered relationships through michellemays.com.
Now it is time for the next phase of our evolution! We have a new name, the Relational Recovery Institute, and along with that an expanded mission and purpose.
The Relational Recovery Institute (along with PartnerHope) have what leadership expert Jim Collins calls a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG for short). Here is our BHAG:
To change the way the treatment field and culture understands and treats partner betrayal by writing and publishing conversation-changing books, creating new leading-edge treatment models, training and certifying therapists and coaches in our models, and providing transformational treatment to individuals and couples recovering from betrayal.
This is what gets my team and I out of bed every morning excited and ready to serve our clients.
What this means is that in addition to serving our local clients, the Relational Recovery Institute will now also be serving our national and international audience through creating treatment models, providing a professional training and certification program, and offering new counseling intensives for individuals and couples.
We invite you to join us on this exciting journey whether through reading The Betrayal Bind, reaching out for counseling services, registering for professional training, or just following along with us on our email list and blog.
We are excited about this next phase in our journey and look forward to continuing to serve each and every one of you.
Hope, Always
Michelle
