Dealing With Domestic Violence? Fredericksburg, VA Counseling Can Help

Whether you’re in an abusive relationship today, you got out of one in the last few months, or it’s been years since you dealt with the abuse, counseling can help. Everyone is at a different place in their own personal process and Thriveworks Fredericksburg, VA Counseling & Coaching can help you discover options for moving on.

It’s okay to be afraid

If you’re afraid of seeking counseling, rest assured that you are not alone. Too often, victims decide they’re not ready and that they’ll wait until they are ready.

The truth is that you don’t have to feel ready to take action. If you’re worried about yourself, or are tired of living with the fallout of your specific situation, then it’s time to get counseling.

You may be surprised by the ways domestic abuse counseling can help

Your counselor will take the time to get to know you and understand your situation and will find ways to help you move forward. Not everyone has the same situation or has gone through the same things.

You will be treated for exactly what you need help with.

Domestic abuse can have long-lasting effects

Many people don’t realize just how many issues can result from dealing with domestic violence. They can include posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and even aches and pains. A trained counselor can help you walk through these issues and come out on the other side.

Domestic abuse is about more than physical violence

Don’t fall into the trap of feeling like your abuse wasn’t “that bad” or “bad enough” to warrant counseling. Whether you were physically assaulted, sexually abused, or emotionally abused, there is help out there for you. You deserve to get the help that could totally transform your life.

There’s never been a better time to call Thriveworks Fredericksburg, VA Counseling & Coaching – at 540-322-5424 and there won’t be a better time. We are here to listen.

Ann is a great listener, but she is also helpful with strategies for coping and communicating. She does more than "validate feelings."

I had the best luck with finding Krista! She helped me through so much. The doctors were quick to put me on several medications which made me feel worse with my anxiety and depression. So she helped me find different natural ways of coping. She had the best advice, it was honestly kind of a sad day when I realized I didn’t need her anymore. But I know who I’m going back to if I ever need someone to talk to again! Krista if you see this please know you helped save my life! Thank you!

But Thriveworks Fredericksburg has the most comfortable atmosphere, my counselor is Amazing, and the staff is professional every time I call to schedule my recurring appts! If you need help Thriveworks Fredericksburg is the place to call! All I can say is kudos to Aimee K! Thank you!!

Happy with everything except the 48 hr cancellation policy. 24hrs is pretty standard and more feasible when you have children.

I’m very relieved to have finally started therapy sessions with Robert. It’s taken me a while to make this move towards dealing with some outstanding hurts. I’m certain I’ve come to the right place.
