Getting to know Edward Driver

My name is Edward Driver, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). 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, come from historically underserved minority communities disproportionately affected by mental health disparities. As an African-American man with four sisters and three daughters, I have personally encountered and witnessed the unique challenges faced by women of color. My true passion is helping individuals with histories of trauma and understanding how this trauma manifests in relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and severe mental illness.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
