Joyce Kraus

Joyce Kraus holds a Bachelor of Social Work from the College of St. Francis, a Master of Social Work from Aurora University, and a Doctor of Social Work from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and an Academy of Certified Social Workers (ACSW) member, with experience providing mental health therapy in inpatient, partial hospitalization, and private practice settings for individuals ages 3 through 80. Joyce has also taught future social workers at the college level.

Joyce specializes in working with children and adolescents, supporting concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, depression, OCD, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. She brings a thoughtful, steady presence and a broad clinical perspective to help young people and families feel understood and supported.

Outside of work, now that her three children are grown, Joyce enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time with family and friends—as well as her cats and dogs.
