BOARD CERTIFIED. As a distiguished college professor, Dr Wiesner has trained over 400 graduate students. He primarily taught diagnosis, methods of research, a counseling skills course, and ethics. He enjoys sharing his research with fellow psychotherapists through research journal publications and presents his research at professional conferences throughout the United States. Despite varied academic interests, his priority is the very practical business of helping clients meet their goals and reach their full potential. Dr. Wiesner focuses on clients’ strengths and passionate desires and views life and therapy as a zestful adventure and not about problems or people needing to be fixed. Dr. Wiesner is an active member of Mensa.
