William D. Gieseke, PhD
William D. Gieseke, Ph.D., provides psychotherapy, clinical supervision, and consultation in his private practice in Northfield, Illinois. I am on the Fundamentals Year faculty and the Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program faculty at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute. Judith S. Wallerstein and her staff trained him at the Center for Families in Transition to work with children and their parents in the process of divorce. He has taught human development courses through the life cycle, child and adolescent development, and reflective supervision and consultation.
AREAS OF INTEREST & APPROACHES TO PRACTICE
I am interested in human development as informed by a complex adaptive systems perspective supported by empirical research and trauma-informed. My clinical practice is a process-oriented psychodynamic perspective informed by neuroscience and self psychology to treat children, adolescents, and adults. I am particularly interested in individuals with neurocognitive deficits and children and their parents in the process of divorce.
