Welcome to
PERINATAL PSYCHOTHERAPY ONTARIO
Maria Cristina Snook, Registered Psychotherapist, offers virtual psychotherapy services across Ontario, for individuals and couples during the perinatal period (fertility, pregnancy, early parenthood) and beyond. Additionally, she specializes in neurodiversity (ADHD and parenting) and perimenopause.
FINDING FREEDOM IN PARENTING
An opportunity for rediscovery.
The reality for many new parents, especially primary caregivers, is that there is a loss of who we know ourselves to be. The pressure to be a perfect parent, and the demands of caring for children (and so much more) disconnects us from ourselves, and often times, from our partners. This can feel lonely and isolating.
Finding freedom in parenting means freeing ourselves from these unrealistic parenting expectations. It’s about rediscovering ourselves, our needs, our desires and our goals as a parent, spouse and individual.
Once we are better able to connect with ourselves and what we want and value, we can better communicate our needs and desires, which can lead to greater moments of connection, fulfilment and joy.
