Maria Driscoll, MFT graduate level intern specialize in youth

Hi I’m Maria, a master’s Level Marriage & Family Graduate Student Intern specializing in children and adolescents! I also provide counseling to all aged children and families. My decades of experience teaching and working with children and their caregivers is built on my love and dedication to seeing all be emotionally whole & successful. I invite you to read more about me by reading my bio below and reaching out to schedule a consultation.

I am a retired teacher of 23 years. I taught in the private sector for 14 years and Orange County public schools for 9 years. I currently hold my Florida teachers’ certificate for ages 3-3rd grade with endorsements in ESE (Exceptional student education) ESOL (English as a 2nd language). I love helping children of all ages. Prior to teaching, I ran my own family daycare home for 5 years, obtained my Child Development associate’s degree and Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten certificate (VPK certificate). I hold many certifications from DCF (Department of Children and Families) pertaining to child development and appropriate practices. I am also a certified Infant and Toddler Developmental Specialist (ITDS) working with youth & caregivers with global developmental delays. I love providing parents with resources to aide in parenting as well as work with kids of all ages and stages! Children do not come with handbooks and the challenges they face do not come in any neat parenting handbook. They are all unique as are their needs. I would love to help you and your child! I support clients who are in Florida. As a master's-level student intern, I work under the direct supervision of Dr. Tea.
