Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy M. Caracciolo Professional Corporation
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
They say our greatest weakness lies in giving up! We have all been there. 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!

If there is a way in, there is always a way out.

My name is Maria Veronica Caracciolo- a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with an Honours Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology and the founder of Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy Incorporated. I work with couples, families and individuals through a humanistic and psychodynamic lens and integrate various modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Emotional Regulation and The Gottman Model. I also have a specialist in linguistics, and have an Honours Bachelor degree in Education (HBEd) with over 20 years experience working with children and young adults.
As human beings we need to love ourselves and others. As Sigmund Freud once stated, “We are what we are because we have been what we have been, and what is needed for solving the problems of human life and motives is not moral estimates but more knowledge.” Allow me to help you find that knowledge you need, to get to know and love yourself the way you deserve. After all to lead with a wise mind, you need to be driven by both your heart and your head.
Remember, that the power of words can break or heal our soul. Yet, we tend to forget the three most important little words till post script! It is up to us to pen the way our story goes...
LOVE HEALS. Do not save those words for last!
