Group Therapy in Annapolis
Group Therapy in Maryland
At Annapolis Counseling Center, we provide compassionate group therapy for individuals and families across Maryland who are navigating life’s challenges. From stress and anxiety to grief, uncertainty, and major life transitions, our licensed therapists facilitate supportive group sessions where you can connect with others, share experiences, and gain perspective. You don’t have to face these experiences alone.
In a safe and welcoming group setting, our therapists guide participants in exploring emotions, building coping skills, and developing resilience. Group therapy allows you to gain clarity, strengthen your emotional tools, and reconnect with a sense of balance and purpose—all while learning from and supporting others who are navigating similar challenges. Mental health support isn’t about “fixing” everything—it’s about understanding yourself, healing at your own pace, and growing alongside a compassionate community.
Whether you’re dealing with recent challenges, long-term struggles, or seeking greater emotional well-being, our Maryland group therapy sessions provide a space to connect, share, and thrive with warmth, care, and clinically informed guidance.

What are the four types of group therapy?
The four common types of group therapy include:
-
Psychoeducational Groups – Focus on learning about mental health, coping strategies, and life skills.
-
Support Groups – Provide emotional support and a safe space to share experiences with others facing similar challenges.
-
Skills Development Groups – Help members develop specific skills, such as communication, stress management, or social skills.
-
Psychotherapy Groups – Led by a licensed therapist, these groups address deeper emotional and psychological issues through discussion and guidance.
What is a major difference between group therapy and group counseling?
The main difference is focus and depth. Group counseling is typically short-term and focuses on guidance, support, and problem-solving for everyday challenges. Group therapy, on the other hand, often involves longer-term, clinically informed work that addresses deeper emotional or psychological issues and personal growth under the guidance of a licensed therapist.
What are the 4 stages of group therapy?
The four stages of group therapy are:
-
Forming – Members get to know each other, establish trust, and understand group rules and goals.
-
Storming – Conflicts or differences may arise as members express themselves more openly.
-
Norming – The group develops cohesion, mutual respect, and effective ways to work together.
-
Performing/Working – Members actively engage in therapy, explore emotions, and apply coping strategies to achieve personal growth.
