HOW STADNYK THERAPY CAN HELP
Walking Alongside You Toward Healing and Growth
Individual therapy near Christie Pits Park from a Registered Psychotherapist in Toronto; online across Ontario.
An integrative approach that is attachment-focused, trauma-informed, experiential, and non-pathologizing to address the root of your struggles — beyond better coping.
Individual Therapy in Toronto
(online & in-person)
One-on-one sessions for adults who look "fine" on the outside but are carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, family or relational struggles, or childhood trauma. This is a collaborative process that honours your unique needs, meets you where you are today, and where you want to go.
Emotionally Focused Therapy
(EFT)
Grounded in attachment science, EFT honours that emotion isn’t the problem — it’s the pathway. We'll explore the deeper emotions and unmet needs that shape how you relate to yourself and others, and work toward creating new patterns rooted in clarity and self-trust.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
(DBT)
Evidence-based skills for managing intense emotions, navigating distress, and communicating your needs effectively — practical tools that help you stay grounded in the present moment while doing the deeper emotional work.
IS THIS YOU?
You might be here because you …
→ Keep things moving on the outside, but something INTERNALLY FEELS UNRESOLVED: constantly wired, exhausted, disconnected.
→ Want to UNDERSTAND and TRANSFORM what’s driving your struggles — THE DEEP-SEATED PATTERNS that shape your life.
→ Desire deeper connections, but fear rejection, prioritize others' needs — while YOUR OWN NEEDS STAY BURIED.
→ Working on honouring yourself while navigating cultural or family EXPECTATIONS THAT DON’T ALIGN WITH WHO YOU ARE.
→ Seek LASTING TRANSFORMATION — not just better coping — to heal the heart of what's keeping you stuck, and reconnect with what genuinely matters.
You don’t have to navigate through this alone.
Stadnyk Therapy can help you break free from restrictive patterns, rediscover your inner strengths, and reconnect with yourself.

Myroslava Stadnyk, MACP
Practice Owner ·
Registered Psychotherapist
Welcome!
I’m Myroslava (she/her), a queer, Ukrainian-speaking Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario who helps ambitious, thoughtful individuals — including high-achieving professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, academics, therapists, and those in helping and leadership roles — feel more secure in their sense of self, relationships, and life decisions.
If you feel caught in the same painful emotional cycles, something deeper is usually at work — unmet needs and unexplored emotions shaping how you react and relate. Together, we slow things down, find words for your emotional experience, and help you move from stuck and reactive to open, confident, and balanced.
This work is not about focusing on coping strategies alone. It’s for those curious about their inner lives, willing to face uncomfortable truths, and interested in lasting change. I believe this happens in a safe, steady connection where you feel truly seen and actively engaged in your own growth.,
My Approach:
-
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 and integrate 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.
-
We explore what keeps you stuck: the hidden, frightening, or unacceptable emotions driving the automatic patterns of disconnection from yourself and others. Together, we work toward helping you develop emotional regulation, a stronger sense of self, and the deep resilience needed to flourish in all areas of life.
-
My style is a blend of supportive, collaborative, and challenging at a pace and depth that feels safe to 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 each of us carries an innate ability to heal and transform our lives and relationships.
-
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 weave in 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, without any worksheets.
WHAT WE WORK ON
Areas of Support
Individual therapy near Christie Pits Park in Toronto for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship dynamics, low self-esteem, shame, and relational trauma.
-
Anxiety and depression are often signals of deeper fears, unmet needs, and a longing for connection with yourself and others. In therapy, we slow down and listen to what's underneath, helping you process those emotions, so you can move through life feeling more secure, open, and fully yourself.
-
Relationships can be deeply rewarding but also bring challenges. When conflict, distance, or old attachment wounds take hold, therapy offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space to understand what's driving those patterns, rebuild emotional closeness, and move toward more secure and connected relationships.
-
Low self-esteem is often rooted in old attachment wounds, the stories our relationships taught us about our worth, and the broader messages we've internalized from culture, identity, and life experience. In therapy, we gently explore those roots, rebuild emotional security, and help you develop a deeper trust in yourself, so you can move through life with more confidence and self-compassion.
-
When the standard you hold yourself to is never quite met, when saying “no” feels dangerous, or when your worth feels tied to how much you achieve or how little you disappoint others, this often leads to burnout and a sense that you are hiding your true self. Beneath the perfectionism and people-pleasing, there's a deeper longing — to feel truly acceptable, to belong, to be enough.
-
Some relationships leave a deep imprint, shaping how you see yourself, how much you trust your instincts, and whether safety in connection feels possible. In a therapeutic relationship, we access, at a pace and depth that feels safe to you, and move through what those experiences left behind — felt, not just understood intellectually — so you can reconnect with your inner wisdom, build a greater capacity for trust, and feel more secure showing up as your authentic self.

BEFORE YOU REACH OUT
You might have questions before starting therapy. Here are a few answers to help you feel more comfortable reaching out.
-
Not at all. It takes self-awareness and courage to recognize when handling things on your own isn't working anymore. In our work together, we'll go beneath the surface of your struggles to better understand and reshape the patterns that are keeping you stuck. We’ll also build on your existing strengths, celebrate steps of change, and discover how to safely listen to emotions as inner guides — rather than problems to fix.
-
In-person sessions are available in Toronto (Christie/Bloor location in Koreatown). Virtual sessions are available across Ontario, as well as some other provinces and territories — get in touch if you're located outside Ontario. I use the Jane app, an encrypted video platform compliant with PIPEDA and PHIPA privacy laws.

-
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. Working in your first language can make it easier to express complex emotions and feel fully understood, especially when exploring sensitive topics like family dynamics, childhood experiences, or cultural identity.
-
I don't offer couples therapy at this time. However, I do support individuals who are navigating relationship challenges — including attachment wounds, emotional distance, conflict patterns, difficulty expressing needs, and fear of rejection. Together, we explore the deeper emotions and unmet needs driving those patterns so that you can develop a more secure relationship with yourself and with others.
-
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.
