Maria Droste Counseling Center Announces Interim CEO

We will continue to prioritize putting our organizational values — equity, diversity of representation, inclusivity, access, and belonging — into action. My colleagues and I are dedicated to learning and evolving to create more welcoming, inclusive spaces for staff, interns, fellows, contract therapists, and supervisors with the interwoven goal of providing the same for the people we serve.

Thank you to all of our partners for your continued collaboration. If you have any questions or want to connect, please reach out. Although we are in a time of transition, it has been intentional to extend it through the year to give more time and energy to strengthen our organization, our business, and our culture.
