Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist working with people living with HIV.
A diagnosis reaches well beyond medical care. There is the question of whom to tell and when, and what disclosure will cost. There is stigma that persists despite everything now known about treatment and transmission. There may be anger, fear about the future, complicated feelings toward the person you contracted it from, or the particular grief carried by long-term survivors who lost a generation of friends.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we take up what living with HIV has meant to you, not only how you are managing it. The shame or fatalism that can attach to a diagnosis carries an unconscious logic worth understanding, and it often draws on much older beliefs about deserving illness or being unlovable. This work sits alongside your medical care rather than replacing any part of it.
If you are living with HIV and want somewhere to think about it honestly, I would be glad to talk.

Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
Managing HIV/AIDS is tough and the more support you can get, the better. It's not just about antiviral medication, is it...it's about managing that and the stigma and having as normal a life as possible while managing it all. Let me help you create and maintain the balance.

Online in Chicago, IL
Chicago's size and diversity mean therapists here cover an exceptionally wide range of specialties, with strong representation in trauma, anxiety, depression, and cultural identity work across the city's distinct neighborhoods. The South and West Sides experience community-level trauma tied to violence and systemic inequity, driving particular demand for therapists who specialize in PTSD, grief, and resilience-focused work. The city is home to Rush University Medical Center, Northwestern Medicine, and the University of Chicago Medicine, with a large independent practice community concentrated in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park, and the Loop. Chicago also has robust bilingual therapy communities serving its large Spanish-speaking, Polish, and Mandarin-speaking populations.
