Permit yourself to change your mind when something is no longer working for you.

I am a dedicated mental health professional, holding a membership with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) under the designated title of Registered Psychotherapist (RP). I am also member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). 

I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, as well as a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree in Communication Studies from Laurentian University. I have been working in private practice since 2022, with additional experience supporting youth, newcomers, and Indigenous folks in a variety of community mental health settings.

24-hours notice is generally required for cancelling or rescheduling an appointment with Caitlan Stransky Psychotherapy. Should you provide less than 24-hours notice, the full session fee may apply.

Caitlan Stransky Psychotherapy typically charges $170 per 50-minute individual session. We are dedicated to ensuring that psychotherapy services are accessible, however, and may provide sliding scale options depending on financial need. Please reach out if you are interested in learning more. 

Many insurance plans provide coverage for psychotherapy services. It is recommended that you check with your insurance provider to ensure you are covered, and to learn more about your specific plan. You will be provided with an invoice at the end of each session for reimbursement purposes.

I am trained to work with a wide range of mental health concerns, including but not limited to childhood trauma and abuse, single incident trauma, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. I am not equipped to support individuals experiencing psychotic symptoms, severe drug and alcohol addition, or those who would benefit from inpatient care. Caitlan Stransky Psychotherapy also does not provide crisis counselling and is not a crisis resource for those in need of immediate crisis support.  

The duration of therapy can vary significantly depending on your specific needs and goals. Some individuals may benefit from a few sessions, while others may require long-term support. Generally, those seeking support for complex or childhood trauma will need to commit to attending therapy regularly for a longer duration before starting to feel shifts taking place. 

When working together, I will regularly assess progress and adjust the treatment plan accordingly. I also understand that some individuals may be dependent on their extended health benefits, and I encourage having open conversations around what is feasible for you, as I will take this into consideration when forming a treatment plan.
