Joyce Marter, LCPC, CSP

I first met Joyce Marter at a presentation she gave on “The Psychology of Success” to a group of small business owners. I was so impressed with her presentation that I sought her out at the end of her talk to arrange a follow-up meeting. Joyce’s presentation style is lovely and engaging and her content is solid and on-point. She is a high-powered business professional who knows how to get her message across.

Joyce is a thoughtful, intelligent and entertaining public speaker. Her ability to infuse mental health rationale into desirable goals is empowering for both mental health providers and general audiences. The resources on her website are spectacular and helpful tools I will use!

Joyce Marter is an excellent, kind, caring, and graceful speaker! ALCA highly recommends her!

Joyce has proven what it means to relate to others in a very special way. She works hard, is ethical, has drive and intent beyond the surface, and is a breath of fresh air nurturing society.

Joyce is a bundle of experience, warmth and wisdom. She provides insight and knowledge without sacrificing humor and engagement. A great speaker and presenter! Appeals to many audiences.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Joyce for several years at Urban Balance, collaborating on several guest speaking events. I was always so impressed in Joyce’s ability to command the room in such a unique way that made our patients and audience feel heartfelt, welcomed, and advocates of her mission—to educate and reduce the stigma around mental health. Joyce has been such an amazing partner and mentor, and I’m happy I’ve had the chance to work with her, and would give her the highest recommendation not only her practice and therapists, but for her compassion spreading awareness in this space.

Joyce is the most skilled speaker I have ever seen. She provides amazing and authentic guidance on how to achieve success, balance and fulfillment in life. Her presentations are skillful, artful, humorous and are a perfect balance between motivational guidance and stories from her personal and professional life to illustrate her points. Joyce’s speaking abilities are of the highest level and she enriches the life of every person in her audience!

Even though Joyce has built a multi-million-dollar company, when she speaks on stage, she injects humor and authenticity --- so she becomes relatable to all audiences. Joyce uses her mental health and business background to inspire audiences to find more success, fulfillment and balance in their lives. She commands the room with authority, yet makes each person feel like they know her. Her presentations are full of heart and are incredibly inclusive. She's perfect for large and small audiences. Book her!

Joyce was truly a joy to work with. She was so kind, warm, and responsive to our questions and requests. She was also very generous with us and with our event attendees in sharing her materials and knowledge. She even gave our professional trainers permission to utilize her wheel exercises in the trainings we offer to the community. We got strong positive feedback from attendees about the event and it really felt like many people walked away feeling empowered to make a change in their workplace.

''Joyce was the keynote speaker at the Illinois Counseling Association's Annual Southern Conference in March of 2019. We were so grateful to have her speaking on "The Keys to Success in the Counseling Profession." She came in very prepared, had a very professional set-up with her inspiring signage and quality visual presentation, and was a high-energy, engaging speaker. She set the tone for the entire conference, putting everyone into high spirits and truly helped them to think about their journeys and ways to move forward and improve despite challenges. Our attendees raved about her wheels of self-care, support, and professional satisfaction - both for themselves and their clients. Thank you, Joyce, for your professionalism, relatability, and overall fantastic presentation!''

I heard Joyce Marter speak last week at the American Counseling Association Leadership Training. She was authentic & vulnerable (the things we read about & strive to achieve) and was an excellent story teller, full of wisdom. One thing that stood out was after years of practice, she still seems ever mindful of why she does what she does: the clients and the potential counselors/therapist have to impact for healing and good.

Joyce Marter is a courageous and engaging speaker. She speaks with for rent preciseness backed by evidence and experience. She is attentive to her audience members and inclusive in her remarks. Joyce Marter creates dynamically inviting and inspiring space through her informative narrative discourse as a public speaker

Joyce Marter has delivered outstanding presentations for the Illinois Mental Health Counselors Association. The feedback we received from attendees of her presentations was that she conveyed practical advice from a personal perspective in an easy going, down-to-earth way, and that she is a very skilled presenter with an excellent style of capturing and holding her audience's attention.
