Kathy Nickerson, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist, award winning author, and nationally recognized relationship expert who has helped thousands of couples. Over the past 23 years, Dr. Kathy has presented marriage and relationship advice at more than 70 conferences, while authoring more than 85 professional articles and books. These days, you can find Kathy giving affair recovery advice and teaching couples how to heal from infidelity on social media sites, like TikTok. Dr. Kathy's latest book, The Courage to Stay: How to Heal From an Affair and Save Your Marriage, was released to critical acclaim in October 2022 and has since won six independent book awards. Kathy is also a frequent contributor to CNBC and regularly featured in USA Today, Reader's Digest, Good Housekeeping, Bustle, Medium, UpJourney, Fatherly, Zoe Report, Bridal Guide, CNN, Forbes, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, LA Times, Newsweek and many more. Dr. Kathy radiates a sincere, familiar warmth that makes everyone she talks to feel comforted. She captivates readers and listeners with her vibrant and humorous style of communication. Kathy’s approachable and transparent style makes her feel like an "open book," and she is beloved by her clients for intuitively understanding their ideas and feelings. Dr. Kathy earned her Ph.D. and M.S. in psychology, following her undergraduate work at UC Irvine in Chemistry. Kathy began her career teaching and counseling at-risk youth with the Orange County Health Care Agency. Kathy then led a distinguished program for the United States Department of Justice, where she and her team trained people how to recognize and respond to domestic violence and child abuse. During these years, Kathy discovered the critical importance of healthy relationships on individuals and families. Dr. Kathy found that strong, healthy marriages greatly influenced the mental health of everyone in a family. A happy marriage made both people feel and act better, which in turn made children and other family members feel safer and more secure. From that point on, Kathy dedicated her career exclusively to helping couples strengthen and repair their relationships. While Kathy was helping couples reconnect, she developed a particular interest in affair recovery. So many couples were affected by infidelity and many of these couples were struggling to heal because they had been told, by other therapists or family members, that healing from an affair was impossible. Dr. Kathy found that by blending trauma therapy techniques with solid relationship repair techniques (such as those promoted by the Gottman Method, attachment theory, and family systems theory), that she could help these couples recover from betrayal trauma and recover. Since that time, her primary focus has been on helping couples heal from affairs. Got a question for our podcast or do you need to contact Simon and the Down Under Investigations team?
