About this Workshop
If you’ve been hurt by a religious or spiritual experience—perhaps through harmful beliefs, spiritual authority, or the loss of a once-trusted community—you’re not alone. You may be carrying wounds that have impacted your sense of self, safety, and belonging. This workshop is a place to begin, or deepen, your healing journey, supported by others who understand.
In this 4-hour, trauma-informed workshop, you’ll be gently guided to explore the roots of religious trauma and spiritual harm, reconnect with your inner voice, and begin to reclaim your agency. Through mindfulness, body-based practices, creative expression, and compassionate witnessing, we’ll make space for your story—without judgment or pressure to believe or heal in any particular way.
You’ll leave with greater clarity, tools for grounding and self-trust, and a deeper connection to your own inner wisdom. This is a sacred space for rediscovering what feels meaningful, safe, and sacred—on your own terms.
Each 4-hour session invites you to connect with others on a similar journey and begin writing a new story rooted in self-trust and post-traumatic growth.
These workshops are religiously neutral and participants from all faith backgrounds and religious/spiritual experiences are welcome.
This workshop is for you if you want to:
- Understand how your religious or spiritual past has impacted you
- Begin healing from shame, fear, or disconnection
- Reclaim your voice, identity, and sense of agency
- Connect with others on a similar path in a supportive space

I've attended quite a few of your webinars. They have been informative and I have learned quite a bit in 1 hr webinars. The diverse topics have allowed me to stretch myself a bit and have more compassion and understanding. I highly recommend!!!
I had a great experience with Denise Chain. She is professional and made me feel very comfortable. Denise helped me to process heavy childhood trauma using EMDR. I’m confident that I’ll be able to better cope with triggers related to that trauma. I highly recommend The Phoenix Center and Denise. I’d give 10 stars if I could!!
Carolyn Smith is probably one of the best therapists I've ever had, and we've only done one session.
I have had experience with therapy several times over my life, but when my wife passed, I needed help more than ever before. I found that help, and more, in the Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma. They helped me so much in getting through that trauma, but they also have been instrumental in moving forward in my new life as I put all the pieces back together in a new and different way. I don't hesitate to recommend the team at the Phoenix Center for even a moment. They are wonderful!
At the lowest point in my life I reached out to several places but no one accepted my insurance or had waiting lists. I was referred to Phoenix for counseling for my PTSD. I have had 2 wonderful intern counselors thus far who have had their own individual styles of counseling; they both have kindness, compassion, and helpfulness in common.
1st, I'm thankful for a practice thst offers sliding scale pricing.
2nd, Im thankful to have professionals that understand my individuality while teaching me very useful technics to help myself in daily life.
A humble thank you to your practice for sharing my 2 therapist Alex and Kennesha. I will never forget how they helped start my path from survival mood to actually starting to live after years of trauma. 😊

My experience at The Phoenix Center has been nothing but positive. The treatment practices are effective and rewarding to its patients. I am so glad I chose to take part in what Phoenix has offer in my therapy. The atmosphere is relaxed and nurturing and Drew Weinstein has worked so hard to build to my complete trust in each session. I am so satisfied with my time at the Phoenix Center.
The work I’ve been able to engage in at the Phoenix Center has significantly improved my life. I highly recommend the amazing clinicians here to colleagues, friends, and clients! Having access to a space where I can foster personal and professional development has given me new insight and courage to be my authentic self. Thank you!!
Denise is the greatest. This office is awesome! Such a great experience getting the help I need here!
Love the staff here! Everyone here is skilled and knowledgeable to support clients through their journey.
I took the weekly in-person women's group with Danielle, exploring creative expressive arts for post-traumatic growth. As an artist, it took me time to fully understand how sacred this space was for healing and not performing.
My evolution in healing is in great part because of Danielle's facilitation style and the supportive community in the room each week. We were all on this journey together.
I fully understand the potential for creative practices within oneself and in communion with communities. I am grateful to Danielle and the Phoenix Center for working with me in my full humanity, including providing a sliding scale offering.

Dr Scott has helped me find the strength in me to be the best psychodramatist I can be for my clients and community!
He heals and guides the healers with respect, honesty, and humility!
I look forward to returning to do some more training and workshops!

My experience with the Phoenix Center has been exceptional. The quality of their clinicians and trainings are top notch. Highly recommend!
There simply are no words to explain my gratitude and appreciation for the Phoenix Center for Experimental Trauma Therapy. For the first time, I was understood deeply and therefore able to recognize that the path forward required me to be the author of the narrative of the past. Trauma, when understood properly, CAN be transformed into a beautiful future!
I can’t say enough about the workshops and training programs offered by Dr Giacomucci and the Phoenix Center. I am 33 years into my career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have attended many trainings over the years to expand my clinical skills repertoire. The level of expertise and care put into each of the workshops I have attended at the Phoenix center has been top-notch—from the highly trained facilitators to the welcoming and comfortable facilities, everything is done with such quality. I also love the location, as Media has great places to grab lunch with a new colleague and window shop. I leave every time feeling confident and empowered to put the new things I’ve learned to work right away with current clients I’ve been feeling stuck with. I highly recommend the continuing education offerings of this very professional, cutting edge clinical training center. I also don’t hesitate to refer clients there for trauma treatment, as these folks really do have a level of expertise that I tend to refer out for.
Started by Scott Giacomucci, a brilliant, modest and highly ethical trauma treatment specialist. I would trust anyone in this practice because I trust Scott's judgment and high standards implicitly.
I attended a training at The Phoenix Center that Dr. Giacomucci facilitated. I found the experience to exceed my already high expectations in all domains. I received useful, helpful, rich information that encouraged further learning and development. I experienced the leadership and facilitation as professional, respectful, flexible, inclusive, and refreshing. I intend and hope to continue personal and professional growth with the Phoenix Center in the future and confidently recommend it.
The strengths-based psychodrama workshop was an incredible experience. Scott is a skilled educator and facilitator. I look forward to applying what I learned in my practice!
Dr Scott regularly conducts Trauma training sessions for our staff at the Manor of Hope. To say he is the best at what he does is an understatement. He is a total professional take difficult information and simplify it so it is easy for everyone to understand. An accomplished Author, lecturer, professor and the CEO of an amazing group of talented professionals at the Phoenix Trauma Center. Scott and his team will never let you down. He has my unqualified recommendation
Scott is a prodigy at trauma work and especially psychodrama and experiential therapy. He has put together a wonderful center to participate in important, symptom reducing experiences. I often send my own clients to Scott for important experiential work that impacts the brain so that they can experience success.
The Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma Therapy is a must for anyone who needs to recover from trauma. Dr Giacomucci has created a center where the best of trauma focused techniques are used to get results in healing. Scott is a talented teacher and clinician and has recruited talented clinicians to provide stellar service. Highly recommended!!
