Holistic / Systems Frame Work
As a person who is Transgender and has explored her sexuality for the last 9 years, I use my personal experience to inform me about the complexity of sexuality and gender, the coming out experience, the importance of confidentiality, feeling safe and a respect for how everyone is unique. With having personal and professional experience in the areas of sexuality and gender, resources and tools accumulated to support you in your journey. Safety and confidentiality is of prime importance as is in creating a space where individuals can feel safe to share and reach the goals you wish to meet.

When I talk to people from all over the world, there is often some form of shame, guilt and fear about sexuality. For many









this can mean not being able to talk about sex or enjoy themselves in self-pleasure. For others, building relationships with those they love, sexual partners, build sexual practices or their identify creates an atmosphere of fear and anxiety, either with themselves, with their family, or the rest of society. If you fit as one of the above, there is support for you as well.

Depending on the goals that you and or your family want to obtain, you could learn how to:
  • Release shame, guilt and fear, and start to love yourself
  • Resolve conflict and build on effective communication skills
  • Reduce stress and Anxiety
  • Create strategies to come out to those who are important to you
  • Build hardiness to be who you choose to be in a world that does not always accept difference
  • Create proactive strategies to build relationships or know when/how to walk away/ let go
  • Build more strategies for a better sex life
  • Understand or have more compassion for a family member or partner
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy that focuses on understanding how our thoughts and behaviors are connected. Through understanding this connection, together we can pinpoint and address the cause of the unwanted behavior or symptoms. We will work together to address your challenges. This can include challenges regarding moods, anxiety, stress, fear, substance abuse, shame, guilt and depression.
This frame work focuses on the idea that firstly the person doing the work to create changes in their life, are the ones in the driver’s seat for their life. I am there to act as a mirror, with understanding of the whole person, the mental emotional, physical and spiritual self. How each of these sides of ourselves interact and play out. In terms of spirituality, this can mean your connection to self, spirit or to the outside world, the trees, the Great Spirit, God or name you choose works for you. In addition, how your family (chosen or biological), work, other organizations interact with the journey you are on. I also do not do any diagnosis, as I believe in most cases change can happen prior to this happening through hard work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other therapy work. In some cases where referral for diagnosis is needed, this can be done on an as needed basis.

Awakening,
 all that we are.
Corey Keith, BSW
The Satir Model and system developed by Virginia Satir, is a model that believes that all people have the ability to change. The primary goal is that most
people are doing the best they can to
navigate the world we live in but are to
some degree are being unsuccessful,
so a person needs help accessing their
strength or personal power and/ or
learning skills that many of us have not
been taught. Also, this model also
understands how if we change one
person in a system, it affects the other
people in that system as well. So it is ideal to work with the whole system to support how the one person change. Again this is not always possible, but is ideal to create the best circumstances for change..
