Edward Driver
Therapist

LCSW
Male
My name is Edward Driver and I a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I believe my role as a therapist is to give a voice to those who are unable to speak for themselves.
Growing up in the projects of Chicago, I was surrounded by substance abuse, trauma, depression, and anxiety linked to the stresses of poverty. I grew up believing that happiness lies in accumulating wealth and achievements. However, after attaining these, I realized my true satisfaction came from helping others navigate their struggles, leading to a profound transformation in my life.
Thus, I pursued a Master’s in Social Work at Barry University, where I discovered my passion for working with clients, who like myself were from historically, under-served minority communities, and were disproportionately affected by mental health disparities. As an African-American man with four sisters and three daughters, I've personally encountered and witnessed the unique challenges faced by women of color.
My true passion is for helping individuals with histories of trauma, and how this trauma manifests in relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and severe mental illness.
