Our first Psychodrama Workshop of 2026 with Dr. Scott Giacomucci is scheduled for January 23-25th (Friday-Sunday). We still have a few seats available.

This workshop is designed for professionals interested in an intensive training focused on learning to direct psychodramas in individual sessions. The weekend will provide all participants with multiple practicum experiences of facilitating 1-1 psychodrama using the empty chair and concretization. Didactic content will be presented on the history, theory, and practice of 1-1 psychodrama including its strengths and limitations. Trauma-informed principles will be integrated throughout the weekend with a focus on strengths, safety, and post-traumatic growth. Multiple approaches and interventions in 1-1 psychodrama will be offered including use of the empty chair, concretization, doubling, role reversal, the mirror, and future projection.

This psychodrama workshop will introduce sociometry, psychodrama, and group therapy interventions while exploring the impacts of countertransference, burnout, and vicarious trauma – which are likely to impact all of us at some point. Most of us choose to become mental health professionals and helpers because of our own experiences of adversity which can be a source of strength and passion, but also a source of burnout. In this workshop, we will explore the ways we have learned to make meaning from past adversity and find purpose in our careers. Multiple sociometric and psychodramatic interventions will be taught including concretization, empty chair, doubling, role reversal, and future projection. Research on best practices for addressing burnout and vicarious trauma, while promoting vicarious posttraumatic growth will be introduced.

Registration for our December 2nd workshop can be found here: https://www.phoenixtraumacenter.com/event/building-community-and-trauma-recovery-free-phoenix-center-client-workshop/

Our Grief and Loss group is now accepting new clients for our Winter 2026 session.

This therapy group is designed to help participants deal with feelings and experiences involved with grief and loss. There are no exact ‘rights or wrongs’ in dealing with loss, nor any specific timeframe where we expect to move beyond it. The death of someone significant in our lives affects each person uniquely and personally. We often find ourselves in the ripple effects of the loss, and other losses that come after. We want you to know that you are not alone!

It is through interacting with our emotions, as well as expressing them in a safe, supportive place that we encounter new beginnings and hope beyond our experienced loss. Throughout the length of our group, we will learn about grief and loss, explore and understand our grief and loss, connect with others, and find ways to make sense and personally grow from our losses.
