Illuminate Your
Inner Light

The Story of Firefly Psychotherapy

Firefly Psychotherapy was born from a vision to create a space where individuals can explore and nurture their inner light. The firefly, a symbol of natural illumination, perfectly represents this concept. Just as fireflies light up the darkness with their unique glow, each person possesses an inner light that has the power to shine brightly, even in challenging times.

The name “Firefly” captures the essence of this journey—reconiing, nurturing, and reigniting the inner light within us all. At Firefly Psychotherapy, I believe that therapy is a powerful tool for uncovering this light. It offers a supportive environment where you can delve into your emotions, overcome obstacles, and rediscover the strength and resilience you naturally possess.

My goal is to help you illuminate your path forward, empowering you to face life’s challenges with confidence and clarity. Together, we can work to bring out your inner light, allowing it to shine its brightest.

Hannah Snider

My journey in psychotherapy began with my studies in psychology and health studies at Queens University, which opened the door to being accepted into a formative international experience at the Bader International Study Centre for Global Health and Disability in England. This enriching opportunity deepened my understanding of diverse psychological perspectives and the profound impact of global health challenges. Following this, I pursued the Masters of Counselling Psychology Program at Yorkville University, equipping me with advanced skills and insights to support my clients effectively. I have spent the past few years working with children, teens and young adults with a variety of presenting concerns, and am excited to continue that journey through Firefly!

At the heart of my practice is a deep belief in the power of empathy and collaboration. Together, we’ll work to understand your personal strengths and craft therapeutic goals that are meaningful to you. By fostering resilience and offering the tools you need, I aim to make your journey a supportive and enriching experience.

I genuinely cherish the privilege of being a part of each client’s path. It’s my mission to ensure that you feel heard, understood, and valued every step of the way. Whether we’re addressing emotional challenges, nurturing your personal growth, or building a foundation for mental health resilience, I am here to support you wholeheartedly. Let’s illuminate your path forward, and bring out your inner light together!
