Welcome! Welcome to the website of Joseph Winn MSW, LICSW, CST. 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. My office is located at: 742 Massachusetts Avenue Arlington, MA. 02476 C: (617) 461-8479 VM: (978) 897-1140. Fax: (978) 897-4713. My office is easily accessible by MBTA via the #77 Bus. For those who
choose to drive, there is ample on street parking. Should you have any questions regarding my practice, or would like to discuss the possibility of
our working together, please feel free to contact me at the above provided telephone numbers, or you may email me at; josephwinnlicsw@josephwinnlicsw.com
