Relational and Trauma Informed Coaching
About Kim Hansen Petroni
Steady Support When Betrayal Changes Everything​
If betrayal has shaken the foundation of your relationship, you deserve skilled, steady support.
I work with individuals and couples navigating betrayal, therapeutic disclosure, trust repair, and discernment. Some are rebuilding their relationship. Some are stabilizing after discovery. Some are clarifying their next step. My role is not to push an outcome — it is to help you move forward with clarity, structure, and emotional steadiness.
You are not alone. And you don’t have to navigate this season without guidance.
Why This Work Matters to Me
In 2016, my own life took an unexpected turn that reshaped everything I thought I understood about marriage, faith, and healing. What followed was not only personal recovery, but deep professional formation.
Out of that season came CoachingHope4U, LLC — a space dedicated to supporting partners and couples navigating the devastation of intimate betrayal.
My lived experience does not replace clinical training — but it does deepen my compassion, steadiness, and understanding of what this terrain truly requires.
How I Work
Betrayal trauma is destabilizing. Emotions run high. Clarity feels distant. Trust feels fragile.
My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and structured.
I help clients:
-
Stabilize their nervous systems after discovery
-
Prepare for and navigate therapeutic disclosure
-
Rebuild trust through accountability and empathy work
-
Clarify boundaries and next steps
-
Move from chaos toward intentional, grounded decisions
I work with:
-
Betrayed partners
-
Partners seeking to rebuild trust
-
Couples navigating disclosure and early recovery
-
Individuals discerning whether to repair or release
Whether reconciliation becomes the path or separation becomes the next chapter, my role remains the same: to help you rebuild clarity, confidence, and emotional stability.
Training & Specialization
My work is grounded in both professional training and specialized certification in betrayal trauma and relational repair.

Board Certified Coach (BCC)

This is not general relationship coaching. It is specialized work.
A Broader Community of Support
In addition to my coaching practice, I founded Not a Casserole Widow®, a nonprofit organization providing support and community for those navigating separation or divorce after betrayal. While many couples I work with pursue repair, some journeys lead toward release. When that happens, support continues — just in a different form.
My Commitment to You
Betrayal can leave you feeling isolated, disoriented, and questioning your own instincts.
My commitment is to offer:
-
Steady presence
-
Trauma-informed structure
-
Direct and compassionate guidance
-
A space where honesty and growth are possible
You are not broken. You are navigating something incredibly difficult.
​
And you deserve support that is both skilled and human.
