Dear friends, We are grateful for our community coming together as volunteers, donors, and advocates to ensure Maria Droste Counseling Center remains available to those who rely on our services. Because of our strong community, we are able to keep our doors open and continue to create a mentally-healthier Colorado. During this season of many changes, I also send my best wishes to our graduating class of 2020. Your hard work has forever changed the lives of your clients and has left an imprint on all of us at MDCC. We are excited to see where you will go from here and we are honored to have you as a part of our Alumni Community! Congratulations,

Dr. Sandra Mann, CEO featured on FOX31 News (left).

Keeping MDCC's Doors Open: SBA Loan Approved

MDCC has been awarded a relief SBA Loan that will cover two months of payroll. This support will help us bridge the revenue loss from our postponed gala. In this time it is more critical than ever to ensure our community has access to high quality, affordable counseling services.

Congratulations to our 2020 Intern Cohort!

" Through constant changes and adaptations, this intern cohort has weathered quite a storm with us this year. From the bottom of our collective Program Team Heart, we are so grateful for your flexibility, creativity, continued persistence, and the amazing and thoughtful care you provide each other and all of your clients every week. We are so lucky to have all of you as such an important part of the MDCC Community and we can't wait to send you off and wish you well in your future as successful therapists! " - The MDCC Program Team

As Steven Spielberg said, "The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves." Thank you to our amazing supervisors for shepherding our intern cohort into this next season of their careers!
