Family Therapy in Dallas, TX

Family Therapy in Dallas, TX

All families hit bumps in the road. Sometimes it is caused by a change within the family such as a parent returning to work, a teenager going through a tough time, or a parent getting remarried. Sometimes it just happens because of a lot of family stressors that have built up over time. This may result in family members isolating themselves and not talking to each other, or family members arguing a lot.

Who Benefits From Family Therapy?

Family Therapy with Small Children in Dallas, TX

 Children often have a hard time expressing their struggles through words. As a result, play is often incorporated as part of the family therapy experience. Additionally, we include parents when working with children to help parents with any specific difficulties at home. We will work together to figure out effective parenting strategies. 

Family Therapy with Teens in Dallas, TX

 When working with teens, there are a variety of ways to incorporate other family members. There are times when teens want individual therapy, and we can accommodate that. However, in most cases, it is helpful to bring in parents from time to time to discuss progress. We wish to make sure that everyone is working together as a team towards the same goals. Siblings may also visit if it's appropriate and beneficial in meeting the goals of treatment.  

Family of Origin Therapy in Dallas, TX

 There are also times when family therapy might include adult siblings. Or an adult and their aging parent. Perhaps, this is because you have experienced difficulty working together with siblings to care for an aging parent. Or, as an adult, you are wanting to work through some difficulties that have arisen with your parents. Whatever the scenario, our therapists can work with you and serve as an unbiased third-party to listen to your concerns. We can help to improve communication and help resolve the difficulties you are experiencing. 

Family Therapy with Faith Integration

At Sunrise Counseling, our therapists will integrate your faith into your family’s treatment if that is something you want. What does this look like? If you’re not religious or you feel that your challenges have nothing to do with your faith, then we won’t include it in counseling.

However, if you want to include your faith or religious beliefs in counseling, then our therapists will accommodate this wish. This may take the form of talking about how your faith is impacting the issue that brings your family to therapy. It may also involve talking about how your faith is being used as a coping skill.
