Welcome to the website of Joseph Winn MSW, LICSW. If you have found this site it is likely that you are exploring the possibility of entering psychotherapy. Choosing a therapist that you feel comfortable with and has experience treating the issues you are confronting can be challenging. It is my hope that the information provided in 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.
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. I am currently licensed in Massachusetts as a Licensed 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 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 currently working towards certification as an American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists sex therapist. I am a member of several professional organizations that focus on my areas of interest and clinical specialties.
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.
