About William Groth (Bill)

I specialize in working with college students, young professionals and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, overwhelming emotions and have the desire to make meaning of their lives through personal exploration.

I have many years of psychotherapy practice experience. For almost twenty of those years, I have worked a university counseling center as a therapist to undergraduate and graduate students.

I have been on the faculty of several graduate schools of social work including Hunter and Rutgers.

For many years I have supervised social work masters and psychology doctoral candidates in clinical technique and intervention.

I am licensed in New York and New Jersey.

I have trained in models that give me a wide range of skills and knowledge to help with the problems that my patients bring to therapy:

• EMDR
• Harm Reduction for Addictions through the Center for Optimal Living
• Psychedelic Integration Therapy through the Center for Optimal Living
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy
• Callen-Lorde Center Training on Gay and Trans Youth
• Gay Men’s Health Clinic Training on Gender and Identity Through the Life Cycle
• Psychotherapy and Spirituality at the National Institute for Psychotherapies
• Psychodynamic Approaches in Clinical Practice at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies
• Buddhism and Psychotherapy at the C.G. Jung Institute
