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!

Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I’m a registered social worker and psychotherapist who helps people navigate life’s hardest seasons — burnout, trauma, grief, and chronic illness. My approach is grounded in compassion and curiosity, creating a space where you can exhale, be seen, and begin to heal at your own pace.
I draw from EMDR, parts work, and mindfulness-based approaches to support the body and mind’s natural capacity to heal. Together, we’ll explore not only what hurts, but also what helps — uncovering new ways of relating to yourself, others, and the world around you.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply exhausted by doing it all, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with your strength, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and sustainable.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
“You’re too emotional.”
“You’re too sensitive.”
“You care too much.”
“You’re too hard on yourself.”
Do these judgments sound familiar?
If so, you’re not alone.
I’m passionate about working with individuals who experience the world deeply and whose sensitivity, intuition, and awareness are an important part of who they are. Being highly sensitive can be a strength, but it can also feel overwhelming when emotions, stress, or difficult experiences become hard to manage.
Many of my clients feel stuck despite their best efforts to cope. They may be navigating anxiety, self-doubt, grief and loss, or lingering effects of traumatic experiences, while relying on coping strategies that no longer seem to be working.
My goal is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can make sense of what you’re experiencing and explore what may be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll develop greater flexibility in responding to difficult thoughts and emotions, strengthen your connection with yourself, and build practical skills to navigate life’s emotional challenges.
You don’t need to become less sensitive or change who you are. Therapy can help you better understand and work with the way you experience the world—so you can move toward a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and truly your own.
