Testimonials
I was fortunate to be an intern at Maria Droste Counseling Center during the 2011-2012 internship year. The office and therapy staff truly live by the mission of Maria Droste, and are committed to providing excellent services to the community regardless of their ability to pay. The respect and acceptance of others permeates the center; not only in the environment that is provided, but by the way in which the services are offered and supported. It's an experience I will never forget.

Nativity School has been very fortunate to use the counseling services of the Children First program of Maria Droste Counseling Center. Several of our students and their families have benefited from the care and expertise shown by the counseling interns. The teachers and administration have been impressed with the support that the children receive from the Children First program in individual and group sessions. The problems that children face today can be overwhelming to them; our students are encouraged to deal with these situations in a healthy, positive, and productive way through treatments and interventions that they receive from the Children First program.

The Children's First program at Asbury has for many years provided a variety of free high- quality mental health services to our students and families. By providing school based counselors, many more students have had access to counseling. I find the Children's First program to be an invaluable resource for the Asbury community.
