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.

Rockford is one of Illinois's largest cities and one of the Midwest's most economically challenged mid-size communities, having experienced significant deindustrialization following the loss of its manufacturing base, with high rates of poverty and crime that create substantial mental health need across the population. The city has a racially diverse population and a significant Black community that has been disproportionately affected by economic decline and the associated stresses of poverty, violence, and limited opportunity. SwedishAmerican Hospital, now part of UW Health, provides behavioral health services, and community mental health centers serve residents who cannot access private care. Common therapy concerns include trauma, depression, anxiety, economic stress, and the particular challenges of living in a community grappling openly with how to rebuild and reimagine itself after decades of industrial decline.
