Dr. Gil Roth
LCSW, LCSAC
Accepting New Patients
Gil Roth is a licensed psychotherapist and licensed clinical substance abuse counselor who specializes in behavioral health. He plays a key role in helping patients reach and maintain health goals.
“I like to see peoples’ dreams accomplished by helping them move forward with their lives,” he says. “The correlation between mental health and physical wellness is strong, and having a ‘brain coach’ can really help patients face life’s many challenges and develop opportunities for growth.”
Gil treats adolescent and adult patients dealing with medical, psychological and substance abuse issues, as well as grief. He also works with patients facing co-occurring physical and mental health conditions, such as diabetes or chronic pain coupled with depression. “Identifying and managing symptoms are important ways to optimize wellness and reach health management goals,” he says. “I enjoy providing counseling and behavioral health services to a diverse group of clients and patients because I know the difference this makes in the ability to enjoy life.”
A summa cum laude graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Gil earned a graduate degree from UW-Madison. His experience includes developing and providing comprehensive, patient-centered approaches to cognitive behavior therapy, crisis intervention, and addiction treatment.
Gil credits his colleagues’ commitment to excellence for drawing him to Associated Physicians. “The focus on high-quality patient care and addressing the whole person’s needs is so important,” he says, “and that’s exactly what we do here.”

From Dr. Cordes: “We all have stories. In psychiatry, I enjoy walking alongside someone for a while, learning their story, and helping them write the next best chapter they can. I work to help patients find the options that work for them. These may involve medication, diet, exercise, psychotherapy, dance, or something else.
My Seeing Eye dog, Hootie, brings me to Associated Physicians daily and I love collaborating with other physicians and the healthcare team. It gives us a chance to learn, share, and work together for all our patients’ benefit. Because of the various specialties at AP, I’m especially excited to join the team. I am a member of the American Society of Addiction Medicine and the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry which helps me provide the best, current care to my patients.”
