Are You Ready To Go Beyond Surface-Level Change?

You’ve organized every hour of your day because slowing down brings discomfort you’d rather avoid. You’ve forgotten what it feels like to simply exist without proving your worth.

Why Choose To Work With Stadnyk Therapy?
Myroslava Stadnyk, MACP
Practice Owner and Registered Psychotherapist
I'm a queer immigrant woman and Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario with over a decade of experience supporting adults with diverse needs in the social services sector and private practice.
I work with individuals who are ready for more than surface-level solutions, committed to self-exploration and healing as part of personal and professional growth.
My Approach:
Intuitive and Individualized
My intersecting identities as a queer immigrant woman inform a large part of my practice. I focus on all aspects of your unique identity and lived experiences, integrating various evidence-based modalities, so our sessions feel aligned with who you are and support the growth you're seeking. And while therapy is serious work, I bring humour and creativity to our therapeutic relationship.
Attachment-Focused That Goes to the Root
We explore what keeps you stuck—the attachment wounds, unprocessed emotions, and the patterns that disconnect you from yourself and others. Through our work together, you can learn to tune into your emotional needs and develop practical tools to create meaningful, lasting change.
You Are a Partner in Your Own Healing
My style is a blend of supportive, collaborative, and challenging—at a pace that feels right for you. I see you as the expert on your own life, and our sessions are a partnership. We'll build on your internal strengths, because I believe that each of us carries an innate ability to heal and transform our lives and relationships.
We Combine Practical Skills with Emotional Processing
Change happens when you can access your deeper emotions and stay grounded enough to process them. We'll slow down together and reach beneath the surface to what’s at the core: the fear, longing, or shame that matter most. I'll teach you practical (DBT) skills along the way to help you stay regulated so you can be with these emotions without shutting down or getting flooded. This happens experientially, through in-the-moment learning, which feels natural and integrated, without any worksheets.
Individual sessions are available in-person (Christie/Bloor in West Toronto, steps away from Christie Pits Park) and online across Ontario, offered in both English and Ukrainian.

The first session is an introduction. Before we meet, I'll ask you to complete an intake form to help me understand your concerns.
During our first appointment, we'll:
- Review informed consent and confidentiality (and its limits)
- Explore your personal history relevant to your concern(s)
- Discuss your goals and hopes for change
- Begin establishing a therapeutic connection so you feel safe, heard, and respected
First sessions are 50 minutes, with 80-minute sessions available if requested.
I encourage you to ask any questions about the therapeutic process or my approach, as this is also an opportunity to ensure we're a good fit. -
Therapy is a personal journey, and its duration varies based on specific concerns or challenges, individual needs, goals, circumstances, the desire to heal, and the speed of progress. Some clients start therapy with one specific issue or concern, while others come to explore deeper, more complex issues that require more time.
Starting with weekly or bi-weekly sessions is a recommended practice to build momentum together. We can reduce frequency over time based on your needs and progress.
-
Sessions are available in both English and Ukrainian. It is important to me that you can express yourself and explore your experiences in the language that feels most natural.
-
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, I require that clients provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice. If you are unable to provide sufficient notice, or if your appointment is missed for a non-emergency reason, the full session fee will be applied. You may cancel or reschedule your appointment by email or by accessing your online account up to 24 hours in advance.
