About our Free Support Group series for Mental Health Professionals:
Burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma are on the rise for mental health professionals. The importance of self-care, peer-support, and community are evident for those working in the field. We must attend to our own needs in order to best support the clients and communities that we work with. This workshops series (every month) will focus on validating the experience of mental health professionals and cultivating vicarious post-traumatic growth – the phenomenon of professionals growing (personally and professionally) as a result of working with clients who have experienced trauma and adversity. These workshops are open to anyone who is a mental health professional (therapists, social workers, supervisors, caseworkers, support staff, administrators, educators, marketers, etc.). Each session will be facilitated by a Phoenix Center staff member employing various experiential group processes to promote peer support, connection, and restoration.
All participants must register in advance!

Employing a Peer-Counseling Model
(from June – September 2022 Workshops)
Led by Brian Gallagher, MSW, LSW. He is a Phoenix Center trauma therapist who first learned peer-counseling as a high school student at the age of 16. He has practiced this profound process since then, as both a client and a counselor, and understands some key things about how we get hurt and how we heal.
Professional Healing Partnerships (PHPs) are relationships in which therapeutic professionals exchange listening time with one another to help each other more deeply process the vicarious trauma they experience in their practice. Using a unique, trauma-informed peer-counseling model that understands our innate physiological healing mechanisms, PHPs allow people to deliberately and responsibly engage cathartic and restorative processes to release physical and emotional tension, leaving them with more free, relaxed attention for their work and relationships.
