Joel Winston, LCSW

I never thought I'd need a therapist until I lost my mom. I decided to give it a go. Joel got me through my darkest moments in life and seen me into the best times of my life. Joel listens. He's the type of therapist that will guide you in the right direction and shows 100% compassion while doing it. I love my talks with him. I never feel the urge to cancel because it's far from a pointless meet with him. I've never met a therapist who actually shows they care and aren't just sitting back, rolling their eyes and watching the clock for it to end. It's not about a paycheck with Joel. If you read this and are out looking for someone that will take the time with you, I recommend Joel. You won't be disappointed.

Joel got me through the hardest time of my life. He helped me when i needed it the most and i leave every session with a sense of gratitude for having found him. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs help improving their mental wellbeing.

I’ve had the privilege of having Joel as my therapist for around 8 years, starting when I was 18. He has been instrumental in helping me navigate the challenges of transitioning into adulthood, and I genuinely believe I wouldn’t be the person I am today without his guidance. What sets Joel apart is how personable and relatable he is. He doesn’t just feel like a therapist—he feels human. He creates a safe, welcoming space where it’s okay to be vulnerable. His ability to connect on a genuine level makes it easy to trust him and open up, which is invaluable in therapy! Not only has Joel helped me grow, but he’s also inspired me to pursue a career in counseling myself. His passion for helping others is contagious, and his work is a true testament to the impact a great therapist can have. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only skilled but also kind, approachable, and real, I can’t recommend Joel enough. He's someone you can trust wholeheartedly and is an all-around great person!!

Joel Winston is an awesome therapist. I had gone to therapy twice in the past when I was younger, and I felt like I wasn’t being heard, and I didn’t feel I was getting help with my issues and therapy was a waste of time. Well I gave it one more chance, By the third session with Joel, I felt like he had a great read on me and how we’re going to navigate my issues. I have had my struggles with relationships over the years, when my last long term relationship fell apart, I reached out to Joel to help me see what I was doing in relationships, and how I could improve myself to be a better partner in a relationship. He never told me on what I should do, he merely asked me the right questions, so that when I answered those questions , it would help clarify the situation for me, and usually created an aha moment. He gave me great insight on better ways to communicate. He helped me realize my worth in a relationship. He helped me find the tools I needed to have a successful relationship.

I've been seeing Joel for over two years now, and I can confidently say that my experience has been incredibly positive. Their compassionate approach and deep understanding of my concerns have helped me navigate some of the most challenging times in my life. Joel creates a safe and supportive environment where I feel heard and valued. Joel guidance and expertise have been instrumental in my journey towards healing and personal growth. I highly recommend Joel to anyone seeking professional and empathetic mental health support.'

Joel is the first therapist I have worked with who took the time to know me before passing any judgment. By session 3, I knew he was the talk therapist I needed. Now, YEARS later, his is still that same guy but better. As a caregiver, it is hard for me to take care of and be attentive to myself, for myself. Joel has helped me see "ME" not just the me others had painted and narratives I allowed even when far from the truth. In a life of surmounting struggles, I look forward to meeting with Joel because I know by the end of our session, I'll leave with more insights and strategies with accountability to share at our next session. If you need a licensed therapist is just isn't like the reset (in a good way,) try to connect with Joel Winston if he's taking new clients. Trained, educated, expertise, compassion, skilled communicator, empathic and realistic.

Joel is one of the most influential and trusted people in my life. I've seen him for the past 10 years. I came to him when I was 13, completely terrified and confused about my mental health, and I've continued seeing him ever since. I've trusted him with everything I've endured over the last 10 years and Joel has watched me grow and heal. He always offers me encouraging advice or just a listening ear when I need it. He's an amazing person, and I'm so glad I met him.

Big heart. Let him help. It's worth it.

Talking to people is not very easy for me so I didn't think anything would come from seeing a therapist, but so far my sessions with Mr. Winston have exceeded my expectations. He makes talking to someone comfortable and not forced. I actually look forward to my appointments and the progress I'll continue to make with his help.

5 stars doesn't seem to be enough for how much Mr. Winston has helped me. He's so sincere and has helped me navigate through a lot of the challenges I have been facing the last few years that I didn't think I would make it through. I know if I ever need anything Mr. Winston will be there to help me

Joel is WONDERFUL! he helps me out so much with his advice and encouragement. He has helped me with aspects of my diagnosis as well as major trauma and other life events/issues. He genuinely listens and cares for his patients

Love him 100%. He is helping me through a divorce, job loss as well as breaking my ankle. I appreciate you

Joel helped me get through many tough, dark times and I am eternally grateful for his help.

Wonderful caring individual who gives you the power of self awareness through counseling. I have benefitted tremendously from seeking treatment from him. Great listener and communicator.

I have seen Joel for many years he is a great therapist. He makes you feel comfortable and really cares about helping people. I have referred several people to Joel and they all are happy and think he is helpful and supportive. If I have rough times all I have to do is call him and he will stay late to get me in, he has extended my appt if I am upset and if he doesnt have a appt following. he never rushes you through your appt. He's a great therapist.

I truly enjoy our time together. He has saved my life before and I truly thank him for that . Joel is so easy to talk to and he's so kind. We have a good relationship. He is currently helping me by, not only opening up my eyes into myself, but he's getting me through a very stressful time in my life right now. I again thank him very much. Robin and Bentley.
