Dr. Gretchen is on a Mission to Destigmatize Mental Health!

Dr. Gretchen Moran Marsh doesn’t just talk about mental health – she lives it, breathes it, and transforms how audiences think about it. As a practicing clinical psychologist and sought-after keynote speaker, she’s shattering the silence around mental health struggles with refreshing transparency and clinically-proven solutions.

Her revolutionary approach centers on a powerful truth: mental health experts experience struggles too. By sharing her personal stories alongside professional expertise, she demolishes the shame that keeps people suffering in silence.

“More than half of individuals with mental health problems don’t receive treatment,” she explains. “While someone is comfortable seeing a cardiologist for heart care, visiting a therapist for mental health may feel embarrassing. We need to change that narrative.”

Moving beyond feel-good platitudes, Dr. Gretchen delivers practical, clinically validated strategies audiences can implement immediately. Her signature SELF framework – ensuring proper Sleep, Exercise, Leisure, and Food – combined with gratitude practices and resilient coping strategies, gives people real tools for real challenges.

She’s particularly passionate about addressing the mental health crisis affecting children post-COVID, bringing her expertise directly to school systems, parent groups, and educational associations where the need is greatest.

Recognizing that “employees and employers know their teams need services,” Dr. Gretchen champions comprehensive approaches to workplace mental health. She helps organizations create cultures where seeking mental health support is as normal as any other healthcare need.

Unlike generic wellness apps that “rarely offer clinical evidence of effectiveness,” Dr. Gretchen provides research-backed strategies that create lasting change. With her unique combination of clinical expertise, personal vulnerability, and high-energy delivery, Dr. Gretchen doesn’t just inform – she transforms.

Balancing her thriving private practice with her speaking career, she brings real-world clinical insights to every event. Audiences leave not only with practical tools but with permission to prioritize their mental health without shame.

Through her comprehensive approach, Dr. Gretchen continues her mission to make mental wellness as normal as physical wellness – One Audience at a Time!
