William Balan-Gaubert, Hypnotherapist

For the past 12 years William Balan-Gaubert has used hypnotherapeutic strategies to help clients overcome limiting beliefs and reach their goals.

Drawing on extensive research in practical philosophy and critical thinking, William has developed an integrative approach blending diverse intellectual traditions, guidelines and therapeutic modalities to facilitate breakthroughs, desired outcomes and healing. He draws on strategies to assess personal, collective psychological and cultural programing, to uncover veiled interpretations that often foment anxiety, fear and guilt. All of which often impede ideal performance.

William received formal training in Hypnosis and Clinical Hypnotherapy at National University of Health Sciences in Lombard Illinois and has been affiliated with the University of Chicago as an administrator and academic for the past thirty years. His academic interests range from analytic philosophy, existential psychology, anthropology and linguistics. He has studied in the United States and France. He researched in various communities with a focus on trance and psychosomatic malaise and has received supervised training in traditional healing practices, including dream interpretation, reframing, demystification, and stress reduction.

His approach is future oriented and solution based. By reframing stories clients tell themselves, William facilitates change, helps clients overcome challenges, improves their skills to function optimally to design their ideal future.

William works with adults from all walks of life, and is attentive to non-physical dimensions of emotional distress. He is fluent in French and Kreyòl.
