Starting Domestic violence therapy

What is domestic violence therapy?

Domestic violence therapy is a specialized form of counseling that helps victims and their families heal from abusive relationships. It is a crucial component of the broader efforts to address and combat domestic violence, a pattern of abusive behaviors within intimate relationships that can encompass physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or economic abuse.

How does domestic violence therapy work?

In domestic violence therapy, therapists create a safe and supportive environment. Domestic violence therapy is often part of a broader support network that includes legal assistance, shelters, and community resources. Its aim is to break the cycle of abuse, promote safety, and foster healthier relationships.

Is domestic violence therapy conducted in person or online?

Domestic violence therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does domestic violence therapy last?

Domestic violence therapy can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.

Need more help deciding?

Being the victim of domestic abuse can make a person feel powerless. They often feel that they have no control over their lives.

The good news is that by engaging in comprehensive counseling from domestic violence therapists at Thriveworks Chesterfield, you can navigate the situation more safely and discover the solutions that will lead to your recovery.

There Is More Than One Type of Abuse

Too often people believe that domestic violence only refers to a man beating his wife. The truth is that both men and women can be the victim of domestic abuse. It’s also true that it doesn’t always involve physical violence. It can involve sexual violence, sexual abuse, or emotional abuse and control.

Help Is Essential for Several Reasons

While getting out of an abuse situation may be one of the first steps, it’s not the only thing necessary to heal. Long-term effects of abuse can be significant and permanent without help from a counselor. They can include suicidal thoughts, depression, insomnia, and anxiety.

You Can Heal from Domestic Abuse

No matter how hopeless you feel, no matter how scared you feel, no matter where you are today, there is hope for you. Without counseling you may be afraid of intimacy for years. You may keep an emotional distance and be unable to get close to people or trust them. Sexual issues may haunt you. Even physical symptoms like aches and pains, digestive issues, and headaches can be symptoms.

Getting Help Doesn’t Have to Be Scary

The ultimate goal is your safety, and our Thriveworks therapists are here to offer you a path forward. At Thriveworks Chesterfield, we’re here to help you heal.

Call us today and let us walk you through the process or schedule your session online to get started.

I was so nervous about going to therapy being that I’ve never foresaw a reason or need to go… I had encountered a very traumatic accident at work and it left me confused and depressed about my career path! I can honestly say if it weren’t for Ariane I’d still be left battling confusion and and depression from my accident. I’ve suffered anxiety and panic attacks from the incident but Ari has given me helpful tips to get through my tough times when I’m experiencing those attacks. I’m just so grateful to have encountered a very experienced and understanding counselor who genuinely has my best interest at a full recovery at heart!

This was my first therapy experience. I was in desperate need for help. Jenee was my therapist for a year and I can’t overstate how incredibly helpful she has been. She met me where I was mentally and helped me to find myself and healthy/productive ways of dealing with my everyday struggles. I’m a completely different and happier person thanks to her hard work.
