| William (Bill) Smith, Ph.D. is an
author, psychotherapist, consultant, and
personal development coach. My private
practice focuses on E-therapy (online
counseling), phone counseling, and
face-to-face session with survivors of
trauma, rape, childhood abuse, relationship
concerns, and anyone else troubled by
depression or confusing emotions and who is
ready to ask for my help.
My Philosophy
| As a
psychotherapist and consultant,
I philosophically believe in the
ability of mankind to achieve
any goal truly desired.
Furthermore, I believe that a
human being's capacity for
personal growth is limited
solely by his or her
imagination. Man is a unique
organism, and is the only
organism with the capacity to
transcend environment. Man is a
self-creating being who was not
innately endowed with
personality and goals; but must
choose them by acts of
individual decisions. |

 I
completed four years of
intensive training in
psychoanalysis and
psychoanalytic psychotherapy at
the Lenox Hill Hospital and
Medical Center, New York City,
and received additional
supervisory training at the

Mental Health.
Prior to beginning private

have had the opportunity to
teach the concepts and theories

those from which I received
training. At present I am an
adjunct professor of psychology
at Hudson County Community
College. |
