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?

If you are a victim of domestic violence, your first call should be to the police. Second, you should find a safe place to stay. After you have started the process of taking care of these essentials, you will still have a great deal of emotional and psychological issues to address. There can be an intense feeling of betrayal and mistrust after someone you love hurts you. If the abuse has been occurring for a long time, there can be substantial fears and insecurities, as well as a difficult time forming new relationships and trust.

Victims of domestic violence have a tendency to blame themselves, or to think that they could have done something differently to stop the abuse. People of all socioeconomic classes, races, young and old, can all be victims of domestic violence. Sometimes this violence is an isolated incident, but often it is a long standing pattern. When you finally break free from this abusive relationship, you may feel lonely and confused. It may be hard to talk openly about the violence with other loved ones, and you may feel embarrassed about the fate of your relationship. Thriveworks Austin counselors understand the complicated emotional processes of domestic violence survivors and can help you start on the road to recovery.

Thriveworks Austin counselors are leaders in their field, ready to help you put the pieces of your life back together. We would be honored to put our expertise to work for you. We understand that it can be difficult to make that first call for help. With respect to this, we have appointments available for new clients within 24 hours. We are ready when you need us. Call Thriveworks Austin today.

I have been working with Dr. Covey for almost 6 months now and she has been excellent. I feel like I am heard and understood even when I have a hard time expressing things myself and putting thoughts into words. Having someone who can actually listen and provide the resources to assist myself with past trauma and current challenges has been a life changer.

★★☆☆☆
This is prior to being seen so this is strictly based on first impressions upon entering the building. The waiting area is nice but undefined as to where one should go nor any indications as to what is needed to be done. No one was there to greet us nor was there any desk or window to suggest someone would. We looked for the therapist's office but no doors had any identification to point us in the right direction. At this point we're at the mercy of the clock alerting the therapist to seek us out in the waiting area in order to be seen. Not the best first impression. I will update this review if and when we are seen.

Easy and convenient to book according to my schedule. I feel like I'm learning and making progress with Mrs. Antoine. She is extremely kind and empathetic. I would recommend a friend to Thriveworks because of my experience with her.
