In NYC, the "market rate" for therapy is $200. For a household earning $30,000, that’s an impossible wall.

That’s why we created the Scholarship Fund. It is our unique sliding-scale model that replaces "flat rates" with "financial dignity." By tailoring fees to what you can actually afford, we ensured 136 New Yorkers received over 2,200 sessions last year alone.

📖 Read our latest blog to see how the Scholarship Fund is closing the gap between the cost of care and the cost of living.

It’s Giving Tuesday! ✨

Anxiety is high this time of year. In fact, the American Psychological Association reports that nearly 9 in 10 adults feel stress during the holiday season, with financial concerns often being the biggest trigger.

For too many of our neighbors in NYC, this creates a gap between needing support and being able to afford it. Today, we are asking you to help us “Close the Gap” and raise $5,000 to fund 100 subsidized therapy sessions.

Your donation ensures that finances never stand in the way of mental health care.

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. 🌱

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.
