At Droste, we believe therapy should never be out of reach. 💚

Nearly 1 in 5 adults experience a mental illness each year, yet too many hesitate to seek care because of cost. That’s why we offer sliding-scale and reduced-fee options to make therapy as accessible as possible. Every person deserves a space to heal, to be heard, and to find hope. 🌱

Learn more about how we’re making mental health care more accessible at www.drostemhservices.org.

This week marked the end of Mental Illness Awareness Week.💚

At Droste, we know that awareness can’t be limited to one week. Every day is a chance to learn, listen, and show up for one another.

1 in 5 adults experiences a mental illness each year. Behind every number is a person—a neighbor, a friend, a family member—deserving of compassion and care.

Let’s keep the conversation going all year long. Together, we can create a community where talking about mental health feels safe, normal, and empowering. 🌱

Last week, our community came together for an evening of connection, conversation, and celebration!

Whether you joined us in person or supported from afar, we’re deeply grateful to everyone who made our event such a meaningful success. 💛

Because of your support, more clients will have access to therapy through Droste’s sliding-scale program, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to care. If you couldn’t make it this year, we invite you to take a look at the highlights below and join us next time. Together, we can continue to create a city where mental health is supported, celebrated, and accessible to everyone!

Earlier this month, communities around the world recognized World Su***de Prevention Day. 🌍💙

At Droste, every day is an opportunity to reflect on why prevention matters:

➡️ “Prevention is about connection. It’s about reminding people they are not alone.” – Sarah Stole, Executive Director of Droste Mental Health Services

We remain committed to fostering community, reducing stigma, and building spaces where people feel safe to reach out. 💚

If you or someone you know is in crisis, please call, text, or chat 988 for 24/7, judgment-free support. If you are a young person in the LGBTQ+ community, you can also reach out to by calling 1-866-488-7386 or texting “start” to 678-678.

September is Su***de Prevention Month. 💙💛

Every 11 minutes, someone in the U.S. dies by su***de. Behind every statistic is a human being—someone’s friend, child, sibling, or partner. Silence around su***de costs lives, but conversation can save them.

This month, we’re raising awareness and breaking the silence, so that more people know they are not alone. Talking about su***de does not cause it, but can be a powerful tool for connection, hope, and healing.

Together, we can create a culture of openness, compassion, and support. 💙

If you or someone you know is struggling, please call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. If you are a young person in the LGBTQ+ community, you can also reach out to by calling 1-866-488-7386 or texting “start” to 678-678.

Still reflecting on our recent event: A Conversation on Love, where we explored the science behind why we love, who we love, and how love helps us navigate complex social dynamics.

Thank you to Dr. Lawrence Ian Reed for his deep insights (and humor!), and to everyone who joined us; your thoughtful questions and openness made the evening special. 💙

If you are interested in starting therapy, especially after doing a mental health assessment, it can be hard to know where to start! For New Yorkers, you can start by reaching out to Droste. Here’s what you can expect!

10/29/2024

Depression has a way of filtering how we see ourselves and the world, making it hard to notice even the small wins in our journey. When dealing with depression, it can be easy to discount progress, especially the subtle, everyday steps that truly matter. Here are a few ways to approach progress with compassion:

Adjust Expectations and Celebrate Small Wins – Just like when you’re physically unwell, set gentle expectations for yourself and give credit for each step, no matter how small. Every bit of progress counts.

Look for “Glimmers” – These are little moments of joy or appreciation, like a laugh with a friend or noticing something beautiful. These glimpses of light remind us that good moments are possible, even on tough days.

Use Therapy as a Space to Experiment and Reflect – Therapy can help you try out different ways to handle difficult times and build awareness of patterns, so you can better recognize when to give yourself a break or when you might need to push yourself.

Prepare for Cycles – Depression is cyclical, and it often tricks us into resisting exactly what we need most. Make a self-care plan when you’re feeling more balanced, identifying what genuinely helps, and consider getting an accountability partner to help you stick to it during the harder days.

Progress isn’t always easy to see, but it’s there in every step you take toward healing. Remember, it’s okay to be gentle with yourself along the way. 🌱
