Starting Abuse therapy

What is abuse therapy?

Abuse therapy helps people heal after physical, mental, verbal, or emotional abuse. At Thriveworks Maumelle, our therapists assist abuse survivors in managing and overcoming the challenges that stem from it including depression counseling, anxiety, PTSD, lack of trust, fear, and more.

How does abuse therapy work?

Abuse therapy works by providing a safe space for the survivor to process and heal from their experience. It can utilize several different approaches to assist in the process but is ultimately designed around the individual and their unique needs.

Is abuse therapy conducted in person or online?

Abuse therapy at Thriveworks Maumelle is conducted both in person and virtually with online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does abuse therapy last?

Abuse therapy may last for several months or years, as there is often long-term trauma stemming from one’s abuse. This allows survivors to have a long-term, committed partner to navigate subsequent challenges with and get back to living a happier, more fulfilling life again. Get help from one our of Maumelle therapists by scheduling an appointment today.

Counseling for Abuse in Maumelle, AR—Abuse Counselors and Therapists

“Hold her hands…while I hit her!” This short sentence struck me more profoundly than any other sentence I have heard since I started counseling. It wasn’t the words so much as the person who was talking and the person being told these things. A client explained that it was her own mother who said to hold her hands, and it was her father who complied. Together the mother and father physically abused this client many times. The astonishing part that followed was when she said, “I was never afraid of the physical abuse. I was tough and used to it. It was the emotional abuse that broke me.”

If you are in need of counseling for abuse (of various types) then this segment is for you. Reach out today to get the support that you’re looking for.

What Is Abuse?

In layman’s terms, abuse is treating anyone with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly. It can take many forms including verbal, emotional, mental, physical, sexual, and even financial.

Verbal abuse is perhaps the most common, which varies from loud rants (yelling) to quiet comments (threats and attacks on self-esteem); from obvious put-downs and name calling to not-so-obvious taunts that undermine/harm a partner, spouse, or child. What all these forms of verbal abuse have in common is the need to control using shame, guilt, and/or fear. Even one episode could be considered abusive but, in many cases, abuse is a pattern of behavior formed over time.

What Is Complex Abuse?

In many cases, there will be multiple forms of abuse that are used together. Physical, emotional, and sexual abuse are combinations that make up complex abuse. Verbal, emotional, and financial abuse are also combined in cases of complex abuse. When it comes to abuse each case can be quite different or follow a very common pattern. If you recognize some or all of these forms of abuse you can get help. You need not suffer in silence. You might consider abuse counseling.

How Can Counseling Help a Victim of Abuse?

The single most powerful thing any victim of abuse can do is DECIDE that they have had enough. Even then, escaping abuse and ending abuse are very difficult to handle alone. The abused person can feel guilt or shame, which are obstacles to overcome in counseling. An abused person might also be afraid to leave a bad situation or even ask for help. The fear is real and paralyzing in some cases. Even if there is the will to get help, a client might feel trapped and without options. These are all situations where a qualified counselor can help. At Thriveworks, our clinical experts are trained to do the following:

  1. We will always provide a safe haven for a client to share their story without judgment and with absolute privacy.
  2. We are trained to listen actively to truly understand first, and then to speak second. These skills empower our clients. You need to be heard. We want to hear.
  3. We can educate, train, and guide clients in a variety of evidence-based (scientific) strategies that have been proven effective to build the self-confidence, self-esteem, and personal drive of abuse victims.
  4. We have additional resources for our clients. We can do a lot in counseling, but we have extensive networks of good people who can provide assistance when there are financial or even legal matters to overcome.
  5. Most importantly, we care. Our hearts are here for the client or we wouldn’t be in this business. It is the helping relationship that makes counseling so powerful. We will never turn our backs on you, and clients need that reliability.

I cannot say enough good about this place. They honestly do strive to get you in to see a practitioner quickly. And the importance of being seen soon to someone who is at a bad psychological point cannot be understated. It can, literally, mean the difference between life and death. After years of no longer being able to trust mental health providers due to so much misdiagnosis I reached out to Thriveworks. I asked for a particular practitioner, and they had me in to see her the following day. Kristy's approach was welcoming, empathetic, friendly, and down-to-earth. She did not speak down to me as a patient, but she made a comfortable effort to connect from the beginning. Gaining my trust over several weeks she was able to start showing me some things no one ever took the time to extract. She found me at the precipice of a terrible situation and worked me back from the ledge. Her input to Zack, along with his personable and empathetic personality, finally got me on medications that actually have improved my situation more than I could have ever imagined. The combination of her therapy and the medications have me, for the first time in decades, recognizing a hope for the future. All I can say is if you are that person who has lost hope and feels as though you have no purpose, let the Thriveworks team have a chance to show you a you even you didn't know existed. Without hyperbole I can honestly say I owe my life going forward to Kristy and Zack.

After working with Zack for a year I would say that he is very dependable and does show concern for his patients. There is never any problem with following hospital policy. Always a good man to have on your team.

Zacks a wonderful guy to see. He really listens to all your concerns and explains your treatment options in detail. Anyone that sees him is going to feel comfortable talking to him and not have that feeling as if your talking to a stranger.

I've dealt with severe anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember, and have seen multiple providers to try and get control of my emotions. I thought I was a lost cause until I found Zack. He was the first "medicine guy" that I met with that actually got me! He has a calming demeanor and had me very comfortable from the very first appointment. He's easy to work with and actually cares about how I'm feeling! Seeing Zack was the best decision I could have made. Now I'm feeling much better and finally feel like I can breathe. Thank you Zack and Thriveworks for all you do!

I would like to thank you for helping out a family member in need. North Little Rock isn't far away and that made everything easy for a depression/anxiety patient. Office was easy to get to.

Ms. Tenethrea Buffington is the best! I went in telling her that I didn't believe in coaching/therapy, well I was wrong. She help me in my difficult situation and I could not be more happy with where I stand with it.
