Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy | M. Caracciolo Professional Corporation
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C-DBT
They say our greatest weakness lies in giving up! We have all been there. My name is Maria Veronica Caracciolo, and I decided that if life was going to be difficult, I would become its greatest “warrior” and teach others to do the same. Too often we use our armour to hide our inner selves, rather than see it as our strength which only comes from taking a risk, facing our fears, taking a step forward, and learning that every battle is won with wisdom. I am here to empower you to take that chance on yourself — your mind is a powerful force, but you are its master.
Through various forms of therapy, one can explore different perspectives, coping skills, and motivators to establish better relationships; self-esteem and self-direction; deal with complicated family or couple dynamics; face a significant crisis or transition; manage substance use or addiction; and collaboratively make cognitive and behavioral changes to better emotional, mental, and even physical health!

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
I work alongside you on this self-exploratory journey, not only showing curiosity about the thoughts that shape your emotional world but also the nervous system patterns held in your body. Real change occurs when the mind and body begin communicating differently, and I will collaborate with you to explore this process with care, curiosity, and evidence-based tools. My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in trauma-informed methods that create space for deep emotional work at a pace that feels safe. If you’re ready to understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself, and find lasting relief—not quick fixes—I am here to support your healing through this process.

Tehmina Ayana Meherali
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, CCC, CMHP
Healing happens in relationship and I create a heart-centered space for our work together. I have many years of experience working with clients on issues ranging from anxiety to relationship difficulties and life transitions. I use a therapy model called Internal Family Systems (IFS), which helps you understand the different parts of you that are experiencing challenges. For instance, there may be a part of you who is a perfectionist, or a part that may feel overwhelming anxiety. We get to know these parts of you in a compassionate and curious way, which helps you to get to the root cause. Through this clarity, a spaciousness opens up in your psyche and body, which can often lead to profound healing. I teach clients how to engage their mind, body, and spirit in the healing process.

Michelle Hannah
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
I’ve always been drawn to the emotional undercurrent—the part of life that hums beneath the surface while everyone else is busy pretending it’s not there. For years, I didn’t have the language for my sensitivity or the intensity of my inner world; I just knew I felt things deeply and carried them quietly. Eventually I learned that depth isn’t a flaw—it’s a compass.
My work now is about helping people tune into that inner terrain with more clarity, compassion, and curiosity. I don’t believe in pushing past your limits or forcing insights before you’re ready. I believe in slow noticing, honest reflection, and creating a space where nothing has to be performed.
If you’re someone who thinks a lot, feels a lot, masks a lot, or has spent years minimizing what actually hurts—I offer a place where your experience can finally land. Not polished. Not rushed. Just real.
(And yes, we can laugh when things get too intense. A little wry humour goes a long way.)

Samantha Duarte Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
You spend so much time taking care of others that you've forgotten what it feels like to take care of yourself. I work with adults experiencing burnout, trauma, grief, anxiety, and major life transitions, with a special interest in supporting social workers, caseworkers, healthcare professionals, and first-generation individuals. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and grounded in nervous system regulation, helping you better understand yourself, process difficult experiences, and build lasting change.
My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels right for you as you reconnect with yourself and move toward the life you want to live. I welcome any questions and offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're the right fit.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
My mottos are : "Be the cycle-breaking hero of your family lineage! The buck stops with you. Stop Dimming Your Light AND start disrupting multigenerational family patterns"
I have created a unique blend of traditional talk therapy and eastern based modalities that work with the mind, the body and the soul which I call Holistic Psychotherapy. In addition to verbal unpacking of the core issues, I use neural science, visualization and intention to rewire the mind and belief systems that a person may have learned as survival tools in childhood, that no longer work for them in their adult lives and relationships. The work powerfully affects permanent and long-lasting change in an adult individuals, couples and/or adult families.
My main focus is to disrupt multi generational dysfunction.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.
