Starting Domestic violence therapy

What is domestic violence therapy?

Therapy for Victims of Domestic Violence—Counseling in Newport News, VA

Thriveworks Newport News, VA offers counseling for victims of domestic violence that has guided many people through the pitfalls of a violent relationship and toward safety.

Schedule your session with Thriveworks Newport News by giving us a call or schedule online to get started.

Domestic Abuse: A Dangerous Situation

Even during non-violent times, the threat of violence looms. One survivors explained how, “He would be alternately kind and then fly off the handle for no reason. I always lived in fear of his temper. It was very stressful.”

People who live with domestic violence, therefore, face the injuries from the abuse but also the long-term side effects of living in a threatening environment.

The Cycle of Domestic Violence

Just as domestic violence follows similar patterns of violence, there are similar warning signs that a relationship is not safe. Whether the relationship is new or long-term, these behaviors could be brushed off as odd or random, but they should not be.

If you are in a relationship with someone who exhibits these behaviors, it may be time to seek help:

  • Showing irritation when you spend time with family or friends
  • Subtly belittling you or showing defensiveness about your talents/abilities
  • Calling you demeaning names (even as a “joke”)
  • Threatening you
  • Harming you, your kids, or your pets
  • Forcing you into sex or sexual acts where you feel uncomfortable or when you have said, “no”
  • Dissuading you from working or going to school
  • Taking away agency/trying to make decisions for you—such as what to wear, how to spend money, where to go, and more
  • Blaming/criticizing you or others for their behavior (i.e., an unwillingness to take responsibility for their own behavior)

I appreciate Mrs Kimberly Green LPC for making my sessions so easy to open up with her. It would have normally taken me a while based on the fact this was my first time having a conversation with a therapist. She's very clear and she makes sure I understand what she's saying. I'm truly enjoying my session. Thank you Mrs. Kimberly Green LPC and Thrive
