Jason Marotzke’s Testimonials
Jason is an outstanding advocate for clinicians. I attended his breakout sessions at counseling conferences. I’ve experienced how engaging, passionate and poignant he can be on mental health issues. However, he brings humor and honesty to his presentation style. Jason’s expertise spans many different topics. His Improv training really aids his interaction with his attendees, as well. The 15 years spent as a school counselor and adjunct professor also helps Jason drive home any difficult topic in a straightforward manner. Strongly recommend!

From Tech Tools to HRC’s Welcoming Schools, Jason’s expertise spans diverse topics. His unique approach, like the interactive “The Use of Improv in Counseling,” makes learning enjoyable. Trained by the Human Rights Campaign, Jason excels in corporate and counseling trainings on intersectionality, LGBTQIA+ awareness, and discussions on race and culture. With 15 years as a school counselor and adjunct professor, he brings invaluable experience to education. Highly recommend!
