My therapist has been so easy to talk to and share things with no matter what I've been through or am going through. I feel a strong trust and friendship with her, which I don't find very easily. Thank you Urban Balance.

This was my first time talking to a Therapist for a major life event that left me questioning life. I do not like to ask for help and decided to when I decided to live life. Thank you so much, Urban Balance.

Counseling at Urban Balance has brought to light many interesting and helpful points regarding our relationship dynamic and how we can better ourselves as individuals and as a couple. It has been great having a 3rd party listen and provide advice on what the next steps are to improve our relationship. More...

My Urban Balance counselor has provided me with ways to change the circumstances not just for the hour long session, but strategies that work outside of a therapeutic bubble. Thank you so much.

As a counseling center owner I have been particularly impressed with Urban Balance. Not only are they one of the biggest counseling centers in Chicago, but they have been able to retain the positive characteristics that I see in the smaller centers/practices.
For example, the center has 6 offices in Chicago and the burbs, but still runs like a small warm and inviting counseling center. The CEO, Joyce Marter, found the secret recipe that counseling business owners like myself covet: clinical integrity, motivated and caring staff, professional administrative staff, and nicely furnished and decorated offices. The best part of Urban Balance, which I am a bit envious about, is that they do most everything so well. I just don't see that in such big companies. Bravo Ms Marter! You have built a company of which you should be proud!

I've been seeing my therapist for almost a year and it has truly changed my life. He offered an environment in which I feel safe to speak about any issues and when needed has spent extra time listening to me.

This past year has been very difficult, and it is reassuring to know that I can call up and schedule time with my therapist when I need a safe place to talk. He listens, remembers, and I always leave feeling better. More...

On our first visit to your offices we were very skeptical that what we had discussed would actually help our situation. However, we decided to follow your recommendations and are we glad we did! We highly recommend Urban Balance. Thank you. More...

Their insurance-friendly model helps people obtain counseling without the fear that services will not be available. Urban Balance is known nationally for exceptional service, providing professional development opportunities for counselors, and for supporting he needs of their clients. I highly recommend Urban Balance. More...

I write this review as a therapist and owner (Clinical Care Consultants) of a Chicago suburban counseling center. Rarely, have I encountered a counseling / psychotherapy business like Urban Balance. Joyce Marter, the CEO, has done a remarkable job in creating a company that is befitting of it's name. We all are seeking emotional balance and personal/relational harmony. Unfortunately, we can't always achieve it by ourselves. Joyce has put together a company of top notched clinicians, who have the necessary experience, training and therapy know how to compassionately lead their clients on a journey toward emotional and relational balance. I am impressed by the level commitment to the client's needs while truly caring about each and every client. Well done Joyce! Keep up the good work. More...

What I like about UB is their therapists are down to earth, I've been here for both individual and couples counseling. Plus they take care of all insurance stuff for you. The offices are nice nothing fancy but very comfortable and there is a private waiting room. More...

Urban Balance i found is well run, from billing to scheduling to the focus of the sessions. Therapists in practice have complementary specialties and office is private and welcoming.
