Recovering from an Affair – Adultery and Infidelity Therapists in Virignia Beach

Adultery affects families and couples all over America and counseling for infidelity has become a major source of help and healing for many folk trying to patch their lives and relationships back together.

Why Do People Commit Adultery?

It’s important to realize that as a general rule, women and men commit adultery for different reasons. The primary reason for men:

  • Sex. It’s mostly sexual for men rather than emotional. They might find that they’re being neglected sexually in their partnership or somehow perceive that their partner no longer desires them or is interested in them. Some men will cheat because they can. They don’t expect to get caught and they don’t think that they’re doing any damage at all by cheating. For a man it generally comes down simply to sex or sexual curiosity or their ego.

For a woman, it’s different. A woman who is being unfaithful to her partner or who is seeking counseling for adultery on her part will tend to be unfaithful because of:

  • Feelings of neglect and loneliness in her relationship. It’s not so much about just sex for a woman. It’s more about being able to reconnect with someone again, wanting to feel desired by someone again. It’s about being dissatisfied with the way that her relationship or marriage is going.

Effects of Adultery

The main effect of one partner being unfaithful to another is betrayal. Adultery makes the betrayed party feel worthless, unattractive, useless, embarrassed and ashamed. People have committed suicide over being betrayed. People have murdered over being betrayed. Counseling for infidelity is one of the tools that both the betrayed and the betrayer can use to try to get through this pain the best that they can.

Infidelity Counseling

Counseling for infidelity and adultery can help in the following ways:

  • Assessing the damage. Adultery can cause trauma. There is a real chance that the betrayed party is suffering from PTSD. This needs to be dealt with professionally.
  • Learning how to apologize properly and how to accept the apology. Both parties need to learn forgiveness—both of themselves and of the other. A counselor can help with this.
  • Helping to assess what each partner wants from the other—sexually and emotionally.

Counseling for adultery covers the above themes and many more in order to try to get a relationship back on track again. For those looking for this kind of support in their relationships, they should feel free to look at our services and contact us.

Don Costigan – Highly recommend!

★★★★★
Don is an incredible human being who is right where he needs to be helping people regain balance in their lives. I lost mine. My husband lost his. We lost our marital balance. Don helped us face hard truths and taught us how to acknowledge our negative communications and replace it with the knowledge of how to break the cycle. We learned how to healthfully detach, accept & grow. We are forever thankful to Don for his guidance.

This is a review for Mandy Donnelly at the Virginia Beach location. I worked with Mandy for more than one year in community mental health and she is the real deal.

I've worked with J Turon for several years and can account for the positive impact he has had with so many of our clients. Mr. Turon has a natural way of relating to others, ensuring they understand what he is sharing and then implementing changes that are reflected in behavior, attitude and approach. I would recommend Mr. Turon to anyone or any family seeking answers as well as a guide to a well balanced and healthy approach to mental health.

I was diagnosed with FND and on of the treatments is cognitive behavioral therapy. My daughter also goes here and sees Jeanie. She is workingwonderful with teenagers. My daughter was very hesitant in going but she has open up. Both therapists are perfect very professional. I would recommend thriveworks to any of my family members, friends, and coworkers.

Digusted

★☆☆☆☆
I cancelled my daughter's appointment due to illness (she was throwing up) and was charged a $99 fee! The fact that you would rather me bring my child throwing up to your office instead of allowing me to cancel is disgusting. It is bad enough having a sick child at home, now I have to incur a $99 fee for having a sick child and doing the right thing by keeping her home. Gross. Shame on you.

Monthly Administrators Fee

★☆☆☆☆
It is unfortunate that my therapist of many years Dr. Amanda Trent started working for Thrive. Thrive charges a MONTHLY Administration plus your copay which is ridiculous. To my knowledge noone charges a monthly fee other than Thrive. In my opinion their goal is to gain money not assist patients in need.. If you need help , i recommend locating a facility that does not charge a monthly fee.

Your website advertises appointments available within 24 hours, but I just called to schedule with a NP and was told you have no new patient availability.
