How It Works
How Anchor Group Therapy Works
A Simple Process for Meaningful Healing
Starting your Anchor Group Therapy isn’t complicated, and it shouldn’t be. We know that when someone is reaching for help, the last thing they need is a maze of forms or confusion about what comes next. So we built our process to be clear, intuitive, and supportive from the moment you visit the site.
How To Get Started
Starting your group therapy journey with Anchor is easy:
Choose a Group That Speaks to You
You’ll start by exploring our therapy group offerings: DBT, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma. We know you may not be sure where you belong, and that’s okay. Each group description helps you self-select by explaining the kinds of struggles, behaviors, and emotional patterns it addresses.
You won’t need a diagnosis to get started. You just need to recognize yourself in the language.
Once you find the right fit, you can sign up directly on the site. No waiting rooms. No phone tag. Just a clear path forward.
Fill Out a Brief Intake Form for your Anchor Group Therapy
After choosing your Anchor Group Therapy, you’ll complete a quick intake form that helps us understand your goals and any logistical preferences. Our system will guide you step-by-step—you’ll know exactly what to expect.
You can do this on your own, or connect with our team if you have questions along the way. Early on, we’ll also be testing an AI chatbot that can help direct you to the right information.
Get Scheduled and Stay Informed
You’ll select a session time that works for your schedule. Once enrolled, you’ll receive email and SMS confirmations, along with calendar invites so nothing slips through the cracks. Every session happens virtually, and all of our groups are available nationwide.
You don’t have to leave your home to show up for yourself.
Attend Weekly Sessions via Video
Our groups meet once a week for one hour in a secure, virtual space. Each group is led by a licensed therapist (or, in some cases, a certified coach for skills-based groups) and made up of peers who get it. These sessions are designed to be interactive, supportive, and focused on real growth.
Stay Connected Between Sessions
Healing doesn’t happen just once a week. That’s why we’re building features that support you daily. From email and text nudges (“Have you been outside today?”) to in-app journaling prompts and gratitude reflections, we’re here to help you build momentum between sessions.
These tools are designed to help you integrate what you’re learning into daily life, not just while you’re logged in.
Track Your Progress, Your Way
Whether you prefer gentle encouragement or clear milestones, our system will help you see how far you’ve come. Over time, you’ll be able to reflect on your emotional patterns, revisit past sessions, and track how your coping strategies evolve.You’re not aiming to be flawless, you’re moving forward, step by step.
Flexible, Accessible Payment
You can start with a monthly or quarterly membership (around $200/month, subject to updates). Insurance billing will be introduced later this year. Until then, we aim to keep access affordable, straightforward, and worth your investment in yourself.
