Transition Support Counseling

Shirley Katz, PhD, RP & Clinic Director

About Shirley

Counselling for Trans-Identifying Individuals

​Most people addressing this issue for the first time in therapy have kept it buried for so long...they feel shame and fear to disclose.  Trust that I am not judging and will make you as comfortable talking as you let me, and relief will come in addressing things you may have hidden from even your self. 

I have supported many clients in varying stages of awareness, identification and coming out as well as transitioning.  I am aware of the research on this issue and am partial to the notion that being able to live as much as possible as who you genuinely are, finding acceptance and support for this Self- is the holy grail of well being.  Happiness is a fleeting emotion.  Satisfaction with life, dignity, and self-worth cannot be denied. 

My bias is clear. I am here to help you in whatever your health and wellness goals are.  In line with the way I work, I will meet you where you are at in terms of your identification and desire for acceptance or change and nudge you a little too.  I want to know who you are and help you become more of your true self. 

I have a small referral and support net of helping professionals, and keep up to date on services available that are relevant and can be helpful.  If letters are required, I will write them, collaboratively, when suitable.

I am available to help friends and family who are learning how to support someone who is coming out or transitioning.
