Jordan Keough (she/her) BA, MSc

---

Jordan works with individuals and couples navigating:

• Sexuality, intimacy, and desire, with a sex-positive, shame-reducing approach
• Relationship dynamics, for individuals and couples wanting healthier connection
• Masculinity, for men and masculine folks questioning what they were taught about how to be a man
• Queer and questioning identities, including bisexual and plurisexual identity exploration
• Gender and identity development
• Body image, life transitions, family conflict, and anxiety

Jordan especially welcomes men and masculine folks, queer and questioning folks, and people working on their relationships. You do not need to have your identity, your relationship, or your questions figured out before you start.

Jordan integrates narrative therapy, feminist and anti-oppressive therapy, and somatic, body-aware approaches to offer client-centred, holistic care.

Narrative therapy separates you from the problem. Together you explore the stories that shape how you see yourself, and you build new ones rooted in your values and preferred ways of being.

Feminist and anti-oppressive therapy recognizes that distress doesn't happen in a vacuum. Gender norms, heteronormativity, monosexism, and other power dynamics shape our lives. Jordan names them rather than locating the "problem" only inside you.

Somatic approaches bring attention to what the body is holding, alongside what the mind is saying.

Jordan's clinical training includes supervised counselling practicum work at Mount Royal University's Student Counselling Services. There she provided individual counselling and co-facilitated group counselling with 2SLGBTQIA+ students, using narrative, feminist, and anti-oppressive approaches. She also spent nearly two years facilitating peer support groups for survivors of domestic violence at Sagesse.

In keeping with Alberta regulations, Jordan's clinical work is supervised by a Registered Psychologist.

Jordan's clinical work is grounded in years of research on masculinity, healthy relationships, and bisexuality at the University of Calgary. Her Master's thesis, Bi Design, is a historical ontology of how bisexual women have been constructed in psychology research and practice.
