Sexual Abuse
Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in sexual abuse.
Sexual violation carries its own particular weight: shame that belongs to someone else, confusion about consent and complicity, effects that reach into intimacy and into your relationship with your own body, and a persistent question about whether it was serious enough to count. Many people carry it for decades before speaking about it to anyone.
I work psychoanalytically, and this work moves at your pace. Nothing needs to be said before you are ready, and you set that limit rather than me. Your responses, including numbness, avoidance, or difficulty with closeness, carry an unconscious logic worth understanding: they were what getting through it required. In sessions we attend to both what you say and what tightens or goes quiet as you say it, so that what had to be kept at a distance can be approached somewhere private and unhurried.
If you would like to talk, I would be glad to hear from you.

Sexual Abuse
Faye Williams
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
Sexual abuse is a systemic and personal issue, affecting the victim in deeply personal ways. Therapy can offer a supportive space to untangle the messages that abuse teaches us about ourselves. It takes time and a gentle approach, and eventually regaining autonomy and sense of self is worth the effort.

Sexual Abuse
Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
What happened to you was not your fault. Whatever you did to survive, however you've coped, made sense given what you were facing. But the effects don't stay in the past. They show up in how you relate to your body, how you experience intimacy, how you trust or struggle to trust. Healing from sexual abuse is possible, but it requires a therapist who understands trauma deeply and can create a space where you feel genuinely safe. We won't push you to disclose more than you're ready to share. We'll move at your pace, helping you reclaim what was taken from you. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Sexual Abuse
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In working with patients who have experienced sexual abuse, I offer specialized support tailored to their needs. This involves creating a safe and compassionate environment for them to explore their experiences and emotions. Through therapy, we address trauma symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD, and develop coping strategies for managing triggers and flashbacks. I also provide education about trauma and its effects, as well as guidance on self-care and building resilience. The therapeutic process focuses on empowering survivors, promoting healing, and restoring a sense of agency and control over their lives.

Sexual Abuse
Dr. Evelyn Comber
Psychologist, L.C.P.C., Ph.D., M.A., M.P.C., M.H.S., B.G.S.
Dealing with sexual abuse, especially childhood sexual abuse, it is vital for you to know you are in control of the therapy. I bring my education, training, knowledge and expertise to the table; however, you have the control over the issue. I will gently encourage you, bring forth questions, but you say when, where and how we will delve into memories. You are not alone, I will be present, accepting, and boundaries will be well established and respected.
