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!

Arzu Ferguson
Psychologist, M.Sc., RP, C. Psych.
Many people who seek therapy are not “broken,” but exhausted from carrying too much on their own for too long. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, mentally drained, or stuck despite functioning well in their daily lives.
I have a particular interest in working with individuals with ADHD or autism—whether diagnosed or exploring that possibility—who often feel misunderstood or pressured to function in ways that don’t fully fit.
In therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely understood, supported, and not judged. Together, we work to slow things down, make sense of your thoughts and emotions, and develop practical, effective strategies that help you feel more in control and aligned with how you naturally function.

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.

Joanna Szczeskiewicz
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
It is very easy to get stuck in life. I hope to be able to assist you with discovering and understanding what creates a sense of unease for you and to help you through the demanding process of tackling these obstacles. I chose to specialize in cognitive behaviour (CBT) therapy as I believe that I owe it to you to provide interventions that are rooted in research and have proven effectiveness. To that end, I have obtained credentialling with the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies and with Canadian Association for Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies. It might be hard to commit to therapy. After all it requires discussing painful and private issues with a stranger. You can start by checking my website (www.VillageCentreCBT.net) to find more about my practice philosophy, CBT and its applications, and to access self-help materials. You can also request a brief free video or phone consultation to determine if I would be a good fit as your therapist.

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.
