Satir Institute of the Pacific Satir

Within the Satir Model are basic assumptions that provide the framework for a proven methodology for transformational change. Developed by visionary family therapist, Virginia Satir (1916-1988), the Satir Model continues to inform and influence the work of individual, couple, family and group practitioners seeking to facilitate a greater sense of vitality and inner peace for clients around the world.

Today, the Satir Institute of the Pacific along with others refers to the therapeutic use of the Satir Model as Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (STST). Relationships are the foundation for personal and professional satisfaction. STST is used not only in therapeutic settings, but in organizational development, in schools, in parenting, in medical settings and in many other situations where people get together. To experience the Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy, see our workshops and training opportunities.
