Sigmund Freud

“Thought is action in rehearsal.”

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

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, or major life changes? There comes a time when help is needed from a licensed professional to cope with many of life’s challenges.

 

My name is Maria Veronica Caracciolo- a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with an Honors Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology, and an Honors Bachelor of Education from the University of Toronto.

I am also the 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 Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Emotional Regulation and The Gottman Model. I also have a specialist in linguistics and world religions, and have over 20 years experience working with children and young adults. I specialize in Trauma and Grief Counseling, and am certified from The National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioral Medicine to work with core issues of abandonment and self-esteem.

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!

The aim is to improve communication skills and interaction, positive thinking and constructive (rather than deconstructive) behavioral patterns.

Couples Therapy

Couples Therapy

Remember that you fell in love for a reason, and that is reason enough to save your relationship. The Gottman Model is based on over 40 years of scientific research with a 92 percentile success rate. Fact is, that lack of communication can drive a spike between two people wider than any physical distance.
 

 My Couples Therapy sessions can help rekindle your relationships, or learn coping skills when it is mutually decided that it is time to let it go. This is a safe, empathetic and unbiased environment. The first step is choosing to come to therapy TOGETHER.

Grief & Trauma Focused Counselling

Grief is LOVE with nowhere to go. Dealing with grief and loss, anger management, abuse, pet loss support, trauma, and addictions are some of life's greatest and most painful challenges. No amount of education or degrees can provide the same connection to another person, than experience! Having been through my fair share of grief and trauma from an early age is the reason I went into the field of psychology.  I am a human being before a psychotherapist. My greatest teacher was pain and my greatest lesson was that love eventually heals all things; and time finds a way to make scars bearable. You learn to see them as memories marked forever on your skin. You learn to live imperfectly- after all, a perfect life does not exist.
