John windsor

Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of JW Counseling LLC

Grew up in Baltimore, Md. I am the oldest of three children. Played many sports (soccer, wrestling, football, lacrosse) throughout my youth and saw athletics as my primary identity that I wanted to associate with. One identity that seemed to latch onto me for a long time was being a slow reader and being less intelligent. I went through high school, achieving moderately good grades and did better in college while playing a sport at a division three school. It wasn’t until graduate school at NYU in a group therapy class that I tearfully felt like I exposed this deeply rooted truth/fear/secret I kept from the world that I wasn’t smart or intelligent or worth much at all. It was in the tearful reflection and gaze of several other people that were in the same group therapy class that I realized how many others feel and believe this untruth about ourselves. I finished my coursework at NYU and moved back to Baltimore in 2019 to start my first counseling gig at Villa Maria Behavioral Health Clinic and been there for 5 years. In 2023, I started a private practice JW Counseling LLC and continue to create meaningful work in my life for myself and others.
