Shared Healing Through Connection, Support, and Growth

At Anchor Mind and Wellness, we believe in the transformative power of connection. Group counseling offers a unique therapeutic experience that allows individuals to heal, grow, and gain insight within a supportive community. By bringing together people with shared experiences, group therapy fosters mutual understanding, reduces isolation, and helps participants develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges.

Whether you’re managing anxiety, working through trauma, recovering from substance use, or improving interpersonal relationships, group counseling can provide the strength of community and the wisdom of shared journeys.

What Is Group Counseling?

Group counseling is a form of therapy where individuals meet regularly with one or more licensed therapists and a group of peers to explore personal issues, build skills, and receive support. Group sessions are typically focused on specific themes or concerns, such as anger management, grief, parenting, or relationship challenges.

Each group is carefully structured and professionally facilitated to ensure a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment. Participants are encouraged — but never pressured — to share their experiences and support one another in an atmosphere of empathy, openness, and confidentiality.

Why Group Counseling Works

Group counseling has been shown to be just as effective as individual therapy for many issues, and in some cases, even more impactful due to its collaborative nature. Key benefits include:

• Connection with Others
  Knowing you’re not alone can be incredibly healing. Group therapy connects you with others facing similar challenges, reducing isolation and building a sense of community.

• Learning Through Shared Experience
  Listening to others’ stories and feedback provides new perspectives, strategies, and validation that can enrich your own journey.

• Developing Interpersonal Skills
  Group therapy is a real-time environment for practicing communication, empathy, boundary-setting, and conflict resolution in a supportive setting.

• Cost-Effective Access to Therapy
  Group counseling is often more affordable than individual sessions while still offering high-quality therapeutic support.

• Support and Accountability
  Group members encourage one another, celebrate progress, and gently hold each other accountable — creating a culture of encouragement and responsibility.

Types of Groups We Offer

At Anchor Mind and Wellness, we provide a variety of therapeutic groups tailored to meet the needs of diverse clients. Some of our most popular groups include:

• Anger Management Groups
  Learn to identify triggers, develop emotional regulation strategies, and express anger in healthy, constructive ways.

• Domestic Violence Intervention Groups
  Focus on breaking harmful behavior patterns, increasing accountability, and developing non-violent communication tools.

• Parenting Support Groups
  Explore challenges in parenting, gain practical techniques, and connect with others navigating similar family dynamics.

• Mental Health Wellness Groups
  Designed for individuals managing depression, anxiety, or stress, these groups offer tools for self-care, emotional resilience, and long-term wellness.

Each group is led by experienced, licensed clinicians trained in evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness practices.

What to Expect in Group Therapy

Group sessions typically include:

• A check-in to share updates or concerns

• Guided discussions around specific topics

• Therapeutic activities or skill-building exercises

• Opportunities to share experiences and offer feedback

• Reflection and goal-setting

Groups generally consist of 6–12 participants and meet weekly or biweekly, depending on the program. Participation is confidential, and all members agree to respect each other’s privacy and boundaries.

Is Group Counseling Right for You?

Group counseling is ideal for individuals who:

• Want to connect with others facing similar issues

• Are seeking emotional support and practical skills

• Feel stuck or isolated in their current situation

• Are open to giving and receiving feedback in a safe space

• Want to complement individual therapy with a group-based approach

Whether you’re new to therapy or already working with a counselor, group counseling can offer a powerful extension of your healing work.
