Ann "Lisa" Peralta is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 34 years of experience in providing clinical assessment and therapeutic care to adults seeking help with a variety of issues. These issues include substance use disorders, stress, depression and anxiety, to name a few. Lisa has experience working with the Hispanic population who are often struggling to learn how to understand and adapt to a culture vastly different from their own. She also has 14 years of experience teaching counseling theories and skills at her local community college.
Lisa's ideal client is one who is motivated, open, and receptive to help as well as support as they navigate life challenges. This openness allows Lisa to help them build healthy relationships, learn how to make positive life choices, and simply live a happy, healthy, productive life. Lisa understands that at times one can feel "stuck" in attempting to cope with lifestyle-related problems — she seeks to help one identify maladaptive behavioral patterns and to work on making positive choices that may have left them feeling hopeless, helpless, and frustrated.
Lisa's therapeutic approach is based on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, reality therapy, and rational emotive behavior therapy. Her approach is a holistic one, focusing on mind, body, and spirit. She understands that each individual is unique and tailors therapy to meet the specific needs of the given client.
Lisa would like to have the opportunity to build a trusting, collaborative relationship with you to help you meet your life goals. She has the ability to establish a warm, caring, environment to help you make decisions and effectively direct your own life. You will work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, or fears that may have you feeling "stuck." Lisa strongly feels that individuals are able to make better choices/decisions with the guidance and support of a genuine, understanding, empathetic, counselor, and she is fully committed to assisting you in achieving your goals with enthusiasm and optimism.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Emotional abuse counseling helps victims heal from abusive relationships. Examples of emotional abuse may include:
Emotional abuse counseling with our Thriveworks therapists in Fredericksburg gives people the safe space they need to identify and understand the harm they’ve experienced and move forward. Through therapy, many victims have rebuilt their self-esteem and self-worth; recognized that they did not cause the abuse, but their perpetrator is responsible for the choice to harm; identified their wounds and found the treatment they need; healed from trauma; re-established their personal safety; grieved their losses; formed new, loving relationships; and learned to trust their experiences and emotions.
Emotional abuse counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Emotional abuse counseling with one of our Thriveworks therapists in Fredericksburg, VA can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.
While many think of abuse as physical hitting, there is a more subtle and sinister type of ill-treatment that is purely emotional. Emotional abuse may not always be obvious, but it is always hurtful.
This is often a reason individuals seek emotional abuse therapy. If you’ve been affected by emotional abuse, contact Thriveworks Fredericksburg at (540) 413-0358 to start your treatment plan.
Emotional abusers may use the following tactics to break down their victims:
These strategies, when used constantly over a long period, can cause significant psychological damage.
Emotional abuse rarely begins overnight. It typically builds up over time, often without the victim’s awareness. Over time, victims struggle to feel and function normally. Many withdraw from life and become distant in their relationships, feeling trapped and alone.
Call us today at (540) 413-0358 to see how our treatments may help get your life back on track. Our licensed therapists provide compassionate and effective support to help you overcome the effects of emotional abuse.
