Get to know me

Myroslava Stadnyk, MACP
Practice Owner and Registered Psychotherapist

Welcome! I’m Myroslava Stadnyk (she/her/hers)—a Registered Psychotherapist in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), and an active member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists (OSRP) and the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT).

With over a decade of combined experience as a counsellor and therapist, supporting youth and adults with diverse needs in the social services sector (including emergency shelters, restorative justice programs, and court-mandated programming) and private practice, I am passionate about offering therapy that empowers individuals and helps them develop a more authentic sense of self.

My Values and Approach

I'm a queer Ukrainian-Canadian woman who immigrated to Canada as a teenager. I know firsthand what it's like when multiple parts of yourself intersect: being queer, being an immigrant, navigating a diaspora where queerness was never spoken of. I also understand what it's like to carry parts of yourself in silence, to long to be fully seen, and what it means when you finally are. I bring that deep personal understanding into our work together.

My practice is rooted in intersectional feminist and anti-oppressive values.
This means my approach is:

• Non-pathologizing

• Trauma-informed

• Focused on understanding that every person’s story is shaped by unique challenges, relationships, and cultural context.

Clients often describe my style as a balance of collaboration, support, and challenge at their own pace.

How We Work Together

I offer sessions in both English and Ukrainian, serving clients across Ontario. As an integrative therapist, I work creatively and tailor my approach to your specific needs, primarily drawing from:

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) (a humanistic and experiential approach, rooted in adult attachment theory)

and

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) (a skills-driven approach, focused on helping people regulate their emotions more effectively).

Additional Modalities
I also incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), parts work informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Dr. Janina Fisher’s Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) model, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness, and sensorimotor/body-based interventions.

My Training and Commitment to Growth

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and a post-graduate certificate in Public Relations—both from Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) (formerly Ryerson University).

As someone committed to self-growth, I engage in ongoing professional development, clinical supervision, and personal therapy.

Let’s Connect

If you're looking for a therapist to help you break free from patterns that keep you stuck and hinder your relationships, self-image, or life decisions, I'd be honoured to work with you.

My practice is located in the Bloor/Christie area of Toronto, Ontario. I offer in-person and online sessions, in English and Ukrainian, and I am committed to creating a safe, affirming, and culturally responsive space where healing and self-discovery can happen.
