Maria is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked in a wide variety of care settings for the last thirty years. With early roots in home care and long-term care, she explored her passion for working with older adults. After her hospital experience, she joined an elder and estate planning law firm, assisting clients and families with navigation of their healthcare needs. The need for care management and coordination for elders, those with disabilities, and mental health challenges became apparent, and Maria began Care Choice Care Management in 2012. Care Choice focuses on helping people navigate the healthcare systems in a personalized fashion, and is one of the leading practices of its kind in the Midwest. In 2023, she created Decision Advocates, a Guardianship and Powers of Attorney for healthcare decision making service.
When the prospect of incorporating West County Psychological Associate’s services into the Care Choice family arose, Maria and her husband, Steve, could not think of a better evolution of their original mission to serve others on such a personalized level. Maria feels passionate about honoring Mary Fitzgibbon’s legacy, as owner of WCPA, and continuing the practice’s excellent reputation in the St. Louis counseling and school communities.
