Welcome to the website of Joseph Winn MSW, LICSW, CST! If you’ve found this site it’s likely that you're looking for a psychotherapist. Choosing a therapist that you feel comfortable with and has experience addressing the issues that are confronting you can be a challenging experience. 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 addressing.   I graduated from The Boston University School of Social Work in 1995 with a Masters Degree in Social Work, also referred to as an MSW. While at BU I focused on mental health and obtained a specialization focused on 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, and worked with, issues pertaining to domestic violence, substance abuse, family, and sex therapy. My practice is LGBTQQI and kink friendly and affirming.   I am a certified sex therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. I also belong to several other professional organizations that focus on my areas of clinical practice.   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 on how to assess, intervene, and treat, individuals, couples, and families as well as how to work respectfully and effectively with LGBTQQI populations. I have lectured nationally and internationally on various topics and issues related to sex, and sexuality. I regularly provide consultation to individuals and organizations interested in improving their clinical skills and program offerings.   My office is located at:   180 Massachusetts Avenue, Suite 301,  Arlington, MA. 02474 C: (617) 461-8479.  Fax: (978) 897-4713   My office is ADA compliant and easily accessible by The MBTA via the #77 Bus.
