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.

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.

My services are not covered by OHIP. However, psychotherapy services may be covered by private extended health benefit plans. Please confirm your coverage for Registered Psychotherapists (RP) in advance.

Receipts will be provided via email/the Jane app (my booking platform), and you can submit them to your insurance company for reimbursement. Direct billing is not available at this time.

Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. You can do so by email or through your online (Jane app) account.

If less than 24 hours' notice is given, or if you miss an appointment for a non-emergency reason, the full session fee will be charged. Please note that insurance companies generally do not reimburse cancellation or missed session fees.

Payment can be made by credit card (via the Jane app/my booking app), or e-transfer, and is due at the end of your appointment.

Finding the right therapist involves more than learning about credentials and theoretical orientation. It's about the connection (or alliance) you have with the therapist and trusting your gut feeling. Consider: Do you feel this therapist can understand your concerns without judgment? Are they open to receiving feedback? Does their approach resonate with what you’re looking for?

My Approach

As an integrative therapist, I'm trained in various evidence-based modalities and primarily draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I help clients understand their emotions and use them as a compass for growth, while also building skills to navigate life's challenges. I also integrate elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness, and body-based interventions to meet your unique needs.

What to Expect

Our work together is collaborative and tailored to you. We'll explore:

- The emotions beneath your struggles and how to use them as guides

- Patterns that may be keeping you stuck

- Mind-body awareness and emotional regulation

- Building a more secure sense of self and stronger connections with others

I focus on understanding the unique details of your experiences and the meaning you make of them, your strengths, as well as your history and its relevance to your current concerns. My approach is creative and relational. I do not provide structured therapy (which includes homework assignments, readings, or weekly worksheets).

If you have a question that isn’t on the list, please email me at stadnykmtherapy@gmail.com, and I’ll be happy to connect with you!
