Group Counseling
Recognizing that being in the presence of others is vital to learning and growth, Sequence offers both traditional therapy groups and support groups. The distinguishing factor is the degree of focus on mental health issues, the background of the facilitator, and the coverage of fees by a health insurance provider. Sequence offers group therapy as an addition to individual therapy, or in some cases, as a stand-alone service. Group therapy is insurance reimbursable and offers a more complex and relational method of therapeutic support, enhancing the growth and development of participants in important ways that lead to long-lasting positive effects. Sequence also at times offers "support groups" which may be led by a member of our professional life coaching team and focus on issues such as stress management, wellness, career or other specific areas of concern,
Our list of current groups offered is below. Please scroll down for details.
To register for a group call 240-200-5401 ext 3, or email to info@sequenceservices.com and the group facilitator will reply
Counseling Techniques
The counselors of SEQUENCE are trained in a number of theoretical perspectives, many of which inform the ways they view a given situation or a set of symptoms. Your counselor will be happy to discuss these perspectives with you. At SEQUENCE, the most commonly applied techniques include psychodynamic, art therapy, CBT, mindfulness, strength's based and action learning models. For a full list of therapy techniques, please refer to our individual therapy page.
Support Groups
4 Week Support Group "Leading Through Crisis"
Being a leader always brings its challenges – but what we are currently going through is like nothing any leader has ever seen before. Threats to health, economic upheaval, cultural shifts and multiple perspectives, how can you chart a safe course through the storm?
In addition to our own worries for our families, ourselves and the world, leaders must also worry about our businesses, our employees and our clients. We must plan for the future while addressing the present, and we must create a zone where others can continue to function well.
How do we set priorities? How do we balance the magnitude of all these stressors? How do we stay calm and grounded, and lead by example? How do we avoid "decision fatigue" and replenish our ability to be creative and aware of possibilities. How do we make tough choices and follow our intuition in such uncharted waters?
In just one hour a week, we will share some essential information to help you understand how humans deal with crisis situations, how to stay well under immense stress and pressure, and how to turn crisis into opportunity with courage and grace.
There will be discussion, interactive exercises and mutual encouragement. You will leave each session with homework to practice, and useful tools to use.
Give yourself the gift of the support you deserve through these challenging times!!!
When: Four week support groups meets online Fridays at noon.
All participants will receive an email like to log in to Zoom in advance of the weekly meeting.

Seasons of Change: A Separation & Divorce Group for Women
This 8-week group is intended for women who are coping with the life transition experienced as they separate from a spouse or long term partner.
Offered at two times and locations ( please select the one best suited to your schedule), babysitting may be offered for the evening session if 2 or more participants are in need of this service, for children 3 years and older.
This group creates a safe and accepting environment where members can offer support and guidance to one another at whatever point along this journey they may be. Individual situations will certainly differ, but the need for community and a safe place to express emotions and develop coping skills is universal to anyone experiencing the life transition that comes with the end of the relationship. Grief and loss, anger and betrayal, guilt and worry, all of these emotions can become overwhelming, and this group provides the space to express and move through these emotions to a place of security, confidence, and hope for the future.
Topics include grief and loss, transitions, family relationships, parenting/co-parenting struggles, and lifestyle changes.
Members are pre-screened by the group facilitators. A consultation prior to beginning the group will be scheduled.
