What is the best type of couples therapy after infidelity and years or built up resentment?

To make an extremely painful and long story short my husband began a relationship with our childs therapist back in October of 2025 and just finally ended this month. We never officially separated only me leaving the bedroom and not physical intimacy otherwise we have functioned as "normally" as possible during the last several months.

I believe we need to focus on affair recovery first with a therapist who specializes in affair recovery than once we are feeling more solid with that start to focus on the other issues that have plugged out relationship for years. Well my husband has said the entire time of his affair and even now thinks we need to focus more on the other issues instead of the affair as he says the affair was a "symptom" of the other issues.

I'm wondering what you all would suggest thearpy wise?
