You’ve considered changing jobs but are scared you’re the problem. The idea of change feels overwhelming because you overthink and don’t know where to start. You long for a job where your strengths will shine and you can live up to your potential. But you aren’t sure if you’ll ever find a place where you belong, especially if you’re grappling with ADHD.

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 may be used to carrying a lot for everyone else. Perhaps you're a frontline worker, helping professional, or someone who has spent years putting others' needs before your own. On the outside, you may seem like you're managing, but underneath you feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or unsure how to slow down.
I work with adults navigating burnout, grief, trauma, life transitions, and the impact of difficult experiences. Many of the people I support feel stuck in survival mode- going through the motions while feeling disconnected from themselves and the things that once brought them joy.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in nervous system awareness. Together, we'll explore what has been weighing on you, build a deeper understanding of your patterns and experiences, and develop tools to help you feel more present, connected, and resilient. Therapy moves at your pace, creating space for both reflection and meaningful change.
As a Registered Psychotherapist and former anti-human trafficking caseworker, I understand what it's like to carry heavy stories and navigate complex systems. My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you reconnect with yourself.
I offer in-person therapy in Mississauga and virtual therapy across Ontario. Free 15-minute consultations are available.

Nicole Park
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying)
I believe that each person has strength and resilience within them. Sometimes we only need a helping hand to get there. I have helped many individuals discover this strength, find healing, and move towards the life they want to live. As a person-centred therapist, I believe in empowering individuals to discover more about who they are in a collaborative approach to therapy. I work hard to build trust and create a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to come as they are, and together, take steps towards health and recovery.
I provide a nurturing, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore challenges, strengths, and emotions freely. Through a collaborative, person-centered and strength based approach, we work together towards lasting wellness and positive change, gaining valuable insights along the way.
If you are interested in working together and want to learn more about my approach to therapy, I would be happy to talk with you. Feel free to call or email me to book a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we would be a good fit. I look forward to meeting you and working together soon.

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.

Doug Cochrane
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW 831190
I am a certified sex addiction and pornography addiction therapist. My primary area of work is helping individuals struggling with the challenges and resulting complications from sexual and pornography addiction. In addition, I assist the betrayed partners to come to some level of understanding and healing from what they have recently discovered, and been traumatized by. My certification in EMDR trauma therapy is particularly helpful to both the addict and the partner in discovering and healing the current or past issues that may come to the forefront in the therapeutic process.
Through consultation in an empathetic counselling relationship I am able to provide therapy for individuals, partners, and couples suffering the consequences of sex and pornography addiction, as well trauma that may or may not be related. I provide in-person or online therapy (through a secure and confidential system).

Selene Khosla
Marriage and Family Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying), MAP, PHD
There was a time when I thought being strong meant holding everything together, smiling through exhaustion, pushing past doubt, and showing up even when it hurt. But beneath all that effort was a quiet truth: I was tired of surviving and ready to start living. That realization changed everything.
Becoming a therapist wasn’t just a career decision, it was a calling to understand the messy, beautiful, and complicated parts of being human. I’ve faced my own moments of uncertainty and know how difficult it can be to ask for help. That’s why the space I offer isn’t about fixing, it’s about softening, slowing down, and finding your voice again amidst the noise.
I’ve come to believe that healing often begins in the ordinary, in the small, quiet moments of pausing, noticing, and simply breathing. It’s within these gentle pauses that we start to reconnect with ourselves, remember what truly matters, and find the courage to move forward, even when life feels heavy.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to take it alone. I offer a warm, supportive space to explore what’s been weighing on you and what you’d like to shift or understand more deeply. If you’re curious about beginning, reach out to schedule a consultation, we’ll talk about your goals, your hopes for therapy, and see if working together feels like the right fit for you.

Mississauga is one of Canada's largest cities and a major commercial hub anchored by multinational corporate headquarters along its City Centre corridor, creating sustained demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, burnout, and the pressures of corporate culture. The city is exceptionally diverse — with large South Asian, Caribbean, and East Asian populations among the most multicultural in Canada — and multilingual therapists offering culturally grounded care are especially well represented. Trillium Health Partners Credit Valley Hospital provides institutional mental health services, with a private practice community serving Cooksville, Port Credit, and Erin Mills. Many Mississauga residents also access therapy in Toronto or through telehealth, given the city's proximity to the Greater Toronto Area's broader therapy ecosystem.
