Charlottesville, VA Domestic Abuse Counseling

Charlottesville, VA Domestic Abuse Counseling – Abuse Help

If you are dealing with domestic violence, we can help you!

The victims of domestic abuse or domestic violence are often left feeling helpless, believing that there is nothing within their power to be done. Domestic abuse is a very serious issue, but it is not one that needs to perpetuate. These feelings of powerlessness can be worked through and even overcome by engaging in and committing to the counseling and therapy process. You’re able to live a life free from pain and free from fear, and we can help you to experience that reality.

Domestic abuse manifests in a variety of forms

The most common misconception about domestic violence is that it manifests only in one way – a man beating his wife. However, it’s true that domestic violence can occur in either direction in a relationship. Furthermore, domestic abuse is rarely limited only to acts of physical violence. More often than not, domestic abuse takes the form of emotional attacks on the victim. Domestic issues may also take the form of sexual abuse in addition to the emotional and physical violence. The good news is that help can be found for each of these scenarios. Our team of domestic abuse counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Counseling in Charlottesville, VA are highly skilled and able to provide the right kind of care and treatment for these issues.

Help is essential for a number of reasons

The first step to overcoming an abusive situation is often the task of physically removing yourself from the abusive environment. However, this step alone will not bring the healing that victims of abuse need. Apart from help and treatment from a counselor or therapist, the effects of abuse will be long lasting and have the potential to remain with the victim for life. These effects may include insomnia, bad dreams, anxiety, depression, trust issues, or suicidal ideations. Fear of intimacy may burden you, resulting in the need to maintain an emotional distance from those around you. Even physical symptoms like aches and pains, digestive issues, and headaches can be the long term results of abuse. Each of these effects, however, can be treated and overcome with the right counseling relationship.

Regardless of how deeply hurt you are feeling – you can be healed

Receiving the help you need doesn’t have to be difficult

It is common to experience feelings of apprehension or uneasiness when reaching out for help, but it may provide you some comfort to know that your counselor will not force your course of treatment; they will listen to you and offer suggestions and coping methods. Your therapist will work together with you to help provide solutions to your challenges. Your safety and healing are the ultimate goals.

At Thriveworks Counseling Charlottesville, VA we’re here to help you heal. We’re excited to walk alongside of you on your path to recovery.

Thriveworks Counseling Charlottesville

Safe environment where clients matter

★★★★★
Reaching out to Thriveworks was a great decision. The service is excellent and the representative matched me with the best counselor for my needs. I have to admit that I was skeptical at first, but I was pleasantly surprised when I met Anita Dean. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about others. I have observed that she doesn't create cookie cutter plans. Instead, she creates a plan specific to the needs of her her clients. My husband and I lost our sweet family pet of over 15 1/2 years and it also caused the loss of a child to resurface. Anita, has handled my situation with care and assisted me as I walked through the grief process. I am so grateful.

Useless

★☆☆☆☆
Receptionist couldn't have been less helpful -- after waiting on hold 20 minutes, I told her I wanted to make an appointment to get assessed for some psychological issues, and she told me, simply, "We don't have anyone who can do that." That was it, no other comment. We just sat there in silence. She was unable to think, work, or put in any effort to help me try to find what I was looking for, or offer any kind of explanation of what she meant. I guess she was busy looking at memes on her phone or something. Or maybe ThriveWorks literally does not assess people for their psychological issues before counseling them? SOOOOO confused and frustrated.

Jennifer Smith was wonderful to talk to and was very clear about how to progress for our personal needs. It didn't feel like a counseling session and she made it very comfortable to just have a conversation

No help available

★☆☆☆☆
Does not have the ability to meet advertised capability. Needed help with my daughter and made the first difficult call to be told no appointment available till after middle of May. One therapist only no other options. My daughter and I were excited when looking at the website and shocked on the outcome. However the phone specialist was very pleasant and he handled the call with the utmost respect.

Top Notch Counsel

★★★★★
We've been seeing Anita Dean weekly for over 6 months now and have felt so rewarded by our time together. We have nothing but totally positive things to say about her approach, demeanor and the positive change that she has helped us achieve. We feel comforted and supported by Anita's presence and we would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate counsel. She's top notch - bright, funny, relatable and most importantly, we always leave feeling renewed!
