Sexual Abuse
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.

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
Mun & Mind Therapy PLLC
Psychologist
Experiences of sexual abuse can impact emotional wellbeing, relationships, trust, and one's sense of safety in the world. Healing from trauma is not a linear process, and many survivors carry shame or silence influenced by family, cultural, or societal messages. We provide trauma-informed care that honors your pace, your story, and your strengths while supporting your healing journey.

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.
