Welcome! Welcome to the website
of Joseph Winn MSW, LICSW. If you have found this site it’s likely that you’re considering the possibility of
entering psychotherapy. Entering therapy is an act of great courage and trust. Choosing a therapist that you feel comfortable
with, and has experience treating the issues you are facing, can be challenging. It is my hope that the information provided
on this website will provide you with information about who I am, my professional credentials and the issues that I specialize
in treating. This site will also provide you with information about the types of insurance plans that I accept, my self-pay
rates and a community resources page. About me,
I graduated from the Boston University School of Social Work in 1995 with a Masters Degree in Social Work. The Masters
Degree in Social Work, or MSW, allows one to provide mental health services to individuals, couples and families. Clinical
Social Workers are the largest providers of mental health services in the United States. While I was at Boston University
I also obtained a group work specialization and focused on mental health and clinical practice. 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, their spouses and families, with sexually
compulsive behaviors for many years. My practice is GLBTQQ welcoming and affirming and I have extensive experience working
with gender variant individuals, their partners and families. I am certified
as a sex therapist by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists sex therapist, and am a clinical
member of The Society for Sex Therapy and Research. I am also a member of several professional organizations that focus on
my areas of interest and clinical specialty. Professionally, I have consulted
to several organizations on issues such as domestic violence, substance abuse and sexual compulsivity and 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 and work respectfully and effectively with GLBTQQ populations.
