Faith-Based Counseling in Dallas, TX

Your faith is important to you and you want to be able to talk about it during counseling.

Sometimes our clients want to talk about their faith in counseling sessions. For some, this looks like wanting to lean into their faith to help with difficulties they are having in life. Some clients want to talk through struggles they are having with specific religious beliefs. And, how those beliefs don’t align with what is happening in their own life. Some people want to talk through how their faith and beliefs are causing difficulties within relationships. Others want to talk through doubts that they are having with their faith in a safe, nonjudgmental space. We can offer that support through faith-based counseling in Dallas, TX.

What does faith-based counseling look like?

At Sunrise Counseling, our therapists can integrate a client’s faith into treatment if that is something that the client desires. A client may say that they do not have a religious background. Or, that their faith is not central to the topic. In this case, the client’s therapist will not discuss faith within therapy sessions. Yet, if a client indicates that they have a religious background and would like to be able to talk about it, then our therapists can provide this. This may take the form of talking about how one’s faith is impacting the issue that brings them to therapy. It may also involve talking about how one’s faith is being used as a coping skill. We work to provide an inclusive, supportive space for clients to address their concerns related to Christian counseling, and other religious issues.

Will my Therapist Try to Change My Faith Beliefs?

If I am not religious, will my therapist try to push their own beliefs onto me?

Our faith-based counselors are not going to try to change your spiritual or religious beliefs. Your counselor’s goal will be to help you to explore your own beliefs and sort through how you feel about them. Your counselor will ask you questions and listen but will not tell you what you “should” believe. If spirituality or faith is not important to you, your counselor will not talk about faith in counseling sessions. This is only something that is done for those clients who want it.

A Faith-Based Counselor Can Help

We would love to support you with a non-judgmental place to talk through your faith as it relates to your life. Our therapists have years of experience in helping people through faith-based counseling. Your counselor will take the time to get to know you and your specific desires. Then, they will work with you on determining the best ways to achieve your goals.

Sunrise Counseling’s Approach to Faith-Based Treatment

Our therapists use a blend of different therapy techniques. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Relational Therapy. Sessions include exploring how specific thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact with each other. And, how they influence one’s many encounters with life’s challenges. We help clients to develop several coping skills. These will work for when anxiety levels start to increase. We have also found that people who can be genuine in relationships have lower levels of anxiety. So, we help our clients develop relationships in which they can be themselves and not feel as though they must put on a façade. We recognize that each person that comes into our office is unique. So, we tailor our approach to each person and their needs. Even though these styles of therapy guide our treatment.
