Welcome to the website of Joseph Winn MSW, LICSW, CST. If you have found this site it’s likely that you're considering psychotherapy. Choosing a therapist that you feel comfortable with and has experience addressing the issues you are confronting can be challenging. It's my hope that this website will provide you with information about who I am, my professional credentials, and the issues that I specialize in treating.   About me,  I graduated from the Boston University School of Social Work in 1995 with a Masters Degree in Social Work or MSW. While enrolled at Boston University I focused on mental health and clinical practice, and obtained a specialization in group psychotherapy. I am currently licensed as an Independent Clinical Social Worker, or LICSW. The LICSW is the highest level of licensure provided to social workers in Massachusetts.   I have completed extensive post-graduate training in the treatment of domestic violence, substance abuse and family therapy, and have been treating men and women, their spouses and families struggling with sexually compulsive behavior for over a decade. My practice is GLBTQQI and kink welcoming and affirming.   I am certified as a sex therapist by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists. I am also a clinical member of The Society for Sex Therapy and Research and several other professional organizations that focus on my areas of clinical specialty.   Professionally, I have consulted to organizations on issues such as domestic violence, substance abuse and sexual compulsivity. I have developed training curricula focused on teaching graduate students in social work, psychology, and mental health counseling how to assess, intervene and treat individuals, couples, and families as well as how to work respectfully and effectively with GLBTQQI populations. I have lectured throughout New England and Hong Kong on various topics related to sex and sexuality. I regularly provide consultation to individuals and organizations interested in improving thier clinical skills and programatic offerings.
