Sexual Abuse
Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer trauma-informed therapy for survivors of sexual abuse, providing a safe, supportive space to begin healing. My approach focuses on restoring safety, trust, and connection after trauma. Together, we work gently to process painful experiences, reduce shame, and rebuild a sense of control and self-worth. Using evidence-based trauma therapy, I help clients manage triggers, strengthen boundaries, and move toward empowerment, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of wholeness in their lives.

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.
