Dr. Maria Escobar, DSW, LSW, CDVP, CSAM

I have my Doctorate in Social Work with over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, adults and seniors as a social worker supporting and guiding clients. My professional life includes the knowledge of the scientific study on the process of aging, a commitment to serving the needs of all populations in the field of social work, and developing treatment plans that are sensitive and realistic to the many demands of clients.

I understand the "real life challenges" of trauma, divorce, parenting, and financial hardship. I have studied many modalities to bring healing to those in need. I am a life-long learner inspired by the abundance of opportunities available to broaden and enrich the lives of the populations I serve. My areas of specialty include Coping Skills, Emotional Disturbance, Family Conflict, Parenting, Relationship Issues-Couple/Marriage Counseling, School Issues, Self Esteem, Stress, Gambling Addiction, Anger Management, Grief and Loss, Domestic Violence, and Trauma.
