Maria Driscoll, MFT Registered intern/youth/adoles/parenting

Hi I’m Maria, I am a registered MFT Intern with specialization in children and adolescents. I love helping parents as well. 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. Read more about me in my bio below.

A retired teacher of over 2 decades. I taught in the private sector 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 children & appropriate practices. I was also a certified Infant and Toddler Developmental Specialist (ITDS) who worked with infants to age0- 3 and their caregivers through Central Florida Early Steps with global developmental delays. I love helping parents and working with kids of all ages and stages! Children do not come with handbooks and the challenges they face do not come in a 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 registered intern, I work under the direct supervision of Dr. Tea.
