Maria Stevens
Treatment Foster Care Therapist
MSW, CSW, SAC

I have been an active participate of Fresh Start Family Services for approximately three years, first as a consultant and eventually graduating to a full-time employee providing assistance as an individual therapist to a extremely diversed and challenging population.  My tenure in the helping profession has been well over a decade, and truly has been a satisfying experience.  

As a confident student of higher learning, I managed to secure degrees from the following institutions of higher learning: Associate Degree in Human Services from the Milwaukee Area Technical College,  Bachelors of Art from Cardinal Stritch College in Sociology with a special emphasis in Psychology, and ending my quest for higher learning at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee with a Masters Degree in Social Work.  I am also certified in the area of Substance Abuse with a Specialty in the treatment of dual diagnosed clients.  My special interest and strength lies in my ability to facilitate groups.
  
During my spare time I often read, exercise, and spend time working around the house and with my family, all as a method of relaxation.
