Group Therapy

Group Therapy Tailored for Growth and Connection

Feeling alone in your struggles can make healing feel out of reach—but it doesn’t have to be that way. At Legacy Counseling, we value the power of connection. Recovery doesn’t need to be a solitary process. In fact, some breakthroughs happen only when you’re surrounded by others who truly understand what you’re going through.

That’s the heart of our Group Therapy programs: a safe, therapist-guided space where vulnerability is met with empathy, and progress is fueled by community. We combine evidence-based techniques with integrated, compassionate care so every session feels supportive and effective. Our approach is also culturally sensitive, because your background and experiences matter in how you heal. Here, you’ll find more than therapy—you’ll find shared understanding, practical tools, and a sense of belonging.

Teen Group Therapy: Support for Ages 13–18

The adolescent stage can feel like a whirlwind of emotions. Teens are juggling school, family, friends, and the nonstop pressure of social media—and it’s easy for them to feel lost or misunderstood. That’s why our teen group therapy programs create a safe, structured space where teens can open up, feel understood, and learn real-world coping skills that actually work.

We welcome both teens who are already in counseling and those trying therapy for the first time. Whether you’re searching for “teen counseling near me” or looking for effective therapy groups for teens, our programs are designed for long-term emotional well-being.

What makes us different? We take a culturally sensitive approach, making sure every teen feels seen and respected for who they are. Because when teens feel understood, healing happens.

In many families, finding supportive teen counseling that truly connects with your child isn’t easy. We offer that space—with professionals who understand adolescent development and know how to relate without judgment.

Trauma Group Therapy: You Are Not Alone

Trauma can make you feel disconnected—not just from others, but from yourself. The good news? Healing is possible. When trauma is explored in a safe, structured group setting, it becomes easier to understand, manage, and work through. That’s exactly what our trauma group therapy sessions offer—a space where your story is heard with empathy, and progress feels possible.

Each group is led by a licensed therapist trained in trauma-informed care, using evidence-based methods like trauma-focused group therapy and cognitive behavioral strategies to make every session effective and non-violent. We also incorporate group activities, reflections, and storytelling—tools that help you process the past and begin rebuilding trust in yourself and the world around you.

Many participants come to us after trying one-on-one trauma counseling and are ready for something deeper—a shared experience that makes healing feel less lonely. Our most impactful programs include grief and trauma therapy groups and trauma-focused activities that are both engaging and empowering.

Emotional Regulation Group Therapy: Building Inner Balance

Big emotions—like anger, anxiety, or sadness—can feel overwhelming and hard to control. If you’ve ever wished for a guide on how to handle emotional triggers, you’re not alone. That’s where our emotion regulation groups come in. These sessions help you understand your emotions, respond with clarity, and feel more in control in everyday situations.
You’ll learn practical tools based on evidence-based practices like CBT and DBT, but with a heavy emphasis on mindfulness, boundary-setting, and self-awareness. We integrate compassion into every step—because emotional growth isn’t about perfection; it’s about feeling supported while you learn.
The accountability and validation of others in the group make it even more powerful. Whether you’re here for yourself or helping a loved one, you’ll find a secure, structured environment that supports real emotional growth.

Take back control of your emotions. Sign up for an emotional regulation group today.

Community Support Groups: Healing Through Shared Experience

Emotional pain can feel isolating—especially when you’re not sure where to turn. Our community support groups offer a space where shared experiences become the foundation for healing. These groups aren’t just therapeutic—they’re inclusive and culturally sensitive, so everyone feels seen and respected for who they are.
A licensed facilitator leads every session, creating a safe and affirming space for real conversations. From support groups for teens with depression to adult peer-led circles, we design groups that meet the needs of our diverse community.
Community-based support groups can help you feel grounded, validated, and emotionally prepared for life’s challenges—whether you need ongoing support or a short-term boost during a difficult season. These aren’t random drop-in sessions; they’re intentional communities built on connection, accountability, and trust.

Why Choose Group Therapy at Legacy Counseling?

Choosing the right group experience can change everything. At Legacy Counseling, we don’t just put people in a room and call it therapy—we create intentional, safe, and transformative spaces where healing feels human, not clinical. Here’s what makes our group therapy truly different:

Evidence-Based & Heart-Centered Care

Every group is guided by licensed therapists who blend science with compassion. We use evidence-based methods—like trauma-informed practices, CBT, and emotional regulation strategies—while staying deeply connected to your unique story and culture. It’s not about a one-size-fits-all solution; it’s about care that feels as personal as it is proven.

Integrated Healing with Compassion

Our approach combines the best of therapy and real-life connection. You’ll learn tools that work outside the session—grounding techniques, stress management skills, communication strategies—while feeling genuinely understood. Healing isn’t just about techniques; it’s about being seen, heard, and valued in a space that honors your journey.

Culturally Sensitive, Judgment-Free Spaces

We know culture shapes how we heal. That’s why our therapists honor your background, your values, and your voice. Whether you’re a teen navigating identity, an adult managing trauma, or someone struggling with depression, you’ll find a group where your perspective matters—and where every story is respected.

The Power of Peer Support

There’s something powerful about realizing, “I’m not the only one.” Our groups thrive on connection. Through honest conversations, shared stories, and positive feedback, you’ll build relationships that heal. This sense of belonging doesn’t just fight isolation—it restores hope.

Safety Comes First

Healing requires trust. That’s why every group follows clear guidelines for confidentiality, emotional safety, and respect. Whether it’s a trauma circle or an emotional regulation group, you’ll never feel exposed or pressured. You’ll feel safe, supported, and understood—always.

Practical Tools for Real Life

This isn’t just “talk therapy.” Each session is an engaging experience designed to give you tools you can use right away—like emotional regulation exercises, grounding techniques, and strategies to strengthen relationships. Real tools. Real progress.

What to Expect in a Group Session

Walking into your first group therapy session can feel nerve-wracking—but we promise it’s nothing like the awkward circle you’re imagining. Our sessions are engaging, interactive, and even a little surprising in the best way. Here’s what you can expect:

Small, Supportive Groups – Most sessions include 6–10 people. It’s intimate enough to feel safe but big enough to hear different voices and perspectives.
A Therapist Who Gets It – Every group is guided by a licensed therapist who knows how to blend evidence-based techniques with genuine compassion. You’ll learn strategies that actually work—like grounding, emotional regulation, and better communication—without feeling like you’re in a lecture.
Real Conversations, Real Connection – Forget cold or clinical. This is a space where stories matter, emotions are respected, and healing happens in community. You’ll be surprised how comforting it feels to say, “Me too,” and hear it back.
Interactive & Practical Activities – We keep things engaging with exercises like journaling, role-playing, and mindfulness moments. These activities are designed to help you practice what you learn in real time.
Culturally Sensitive & Inclusive – We respect your background, your beliefs, and your story. Everyone deserves to feel understood and supported—without judgment.
Safety First – Everything shared stays confidential. We follow clear guidelines and trauma-informed care so you feel protected, valued, and respected.

Group therapy at Legacy Counseling isn’t just about talking. It’s about learning, growing, and feeling lighter every time you leave the room.
