Relational Psychotherapist
Dr. Jake Porter is an internationally recognized expert in betrayal trauma and relational healing, known for pioneering the Couple-Centered Recovery® model. As founder of Daring Ventures and the International Association for Couple-Centered Recovery (IACCR), Dr. Porter has worked with hundreds of women blindsided by sudden abandonment, often discovering betrayal that had gone completely hidden for years. He brings a powerful voice of accountability into the mental health space, naming destructive behaviors for what they are: trauma-inducing betrayals with devastating ripple effects. Drawing from his own recovery journey, clinical training, and deep work with betrayed spouses, he refuses to romanticize dysfunction and instead champions those left to pick up the pieces. His work offers hope—not by excusing the betrayer, but by validating the pain of the betrayed and advocating for truth, justice, and healing.
