Joie Wiener

Joie is a North Side resident, and a proud member of the Queer, Neurodiverse, and Chronically Ill/ Disabled communities. They believe in nurturing and cherishing these identities (as well as all others!), and challenging social norms with the radical act of being yourself. Joie is a former social emotional and sexual health educator, and has worked with young people in various capacities for over 10 years. They’ve worked both in the schools and via Telehealth to provide therapy to children, adolescents, and emerging adults, focusing primarily on acute and complex trauma, neurodivergence, and gender/sexuality identity development.

Having graduated from Roosevelt University in 2021 with a dual master’s in both school and mental health counseling, Joie uses an integrative approach to Feminist, person-centered counseling including, but not limited to Internal Family Systems, Psychodynamic Therapy, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative and Existential Therapy, and CBT, and DBT.

Joie realized their draw to counseling while working as a theatre and comedy teacher, and always uses humor and warmth to help clients explore, heal, and carve a safe space for themselves in the world. All the things you have to carry can be so heavy. Call and start unpacking them today!
