Stadnyk Therapy
Welcome!
As a therapist with lived experience navigating multiple intersections of cultural identity, I recognize that each person’s journey is unique. I work from a place of authenticity, non-judgment, and collaboration. Together with my clients, I explore what brings them to therapy and develop treatment plans based on individual needs, strengths, and circumstances. This tailored approach promotes enhanced self-awareness and personal growth.

In my role as a therapist, I offer attention to my clients’ needs and calm presence as a resource for new experiences of connection, attunement, and acceptance.
About Me and My Practice
-
Education and Experience
I’m Myroslava Stadnyk (she/her) — a Registered Psychotherapist in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), located in the Bloor & Christie neighbourhood of Toronto. I offer in-person and online sessions — in English and Ukrainian. My academic background includes the completion of a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and a post-graduate certificate in Public Relations, both from Toronto Metropolitan University.
With nearly a decade of experience providing counselling and direct support to youth and adults with various needs and concerns in the social services sector, and training in private practice, I am passionate about helping people heal, discover themselves, and overcome adversity. I am also committed to my own self-growth through personal therapy, professional development, and clinical supervision.

Specialization and Approach
I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, shame, self-criticism, procrastination, career stress/burnout, interpersonal/relationship conflicts, difficult life transitions, and complex/attachment trauma.
I provide integrative therapy, incorporating various evidence-based therapeutic modalities to assist with my clients’ specific needs, including Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), as well as mindfulness-based and sensorimotor interventions.
As a queer immigrant woman, I take a therapeutic approach that is rooted in intersectional feminist values. It is collaborative, focusing on the client-therapist relationship, which enables clients to explore their stories – past, present, and future. Taking an anti-oppressive, resilience-informed, and strength-based stance to care, I view clients as experts of their own lives and meet them wherever they are on their path to healing and growth.
