Juliette Grantham

Through psychoanalytic therapy, I create space for self-exploration, integration, and healing that goes beyond coping and surface-level solutions. Depth work can help you understand unconscious patterns, inner conflicts, and how life experiences influence your sense of self, perspective, and ways of being. Through this work, people often gain insight into the forces that drive and shape their experience, as well as come to feel a closer connection to their intrinsic nature. Exploring the deeper layers of our experience and integrating insights into our lives is a process of organic change that can help us move toward a life that feels more aligned and relax into a sense of ourselves that feels more harmonious, alive, and somehow truer. Psychoanalytic work operates from the premise that our symptoms and struggles have a greater meaning that stems from an unconscious logic, which we can learn to listen to and gradually untie. Because the sources of current difficulties are often rooted in early or traumatic life experiences, exploration extends across all aspects and times of life. At the heart of this approach is free association, which is speaking whatever comes to mind in the moment without filter, including dreams, fantasies, and fleeting thoughts. While this demands considerable courage and vulnerability, many come to find it exceptionally freeing, enjoyable, and even exciting, as they happen upon new or cast-off aspects of experience, unexpected shifts in perspective, and a deeper comfort in being as they are. While I work with individuals dealing with a wide range of concerns, I specialize in working with people navigating experiences that have disrupted their sense of self, purpose, meaning, worldview, or relationships—including trauma, grief or loss, major life transitions, infidelity, separation or divorce, and existential, spiritual, or religious questions. Although my clinical work is grounded in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic talk therapy, I also have extensive training in yoga, meditation, and related philosophies that shapes my holistic perspective and informs my stance as a therapist. I earned my bachelor’s degree at Yale University and master's degree at the Institute for Clinical Social Work. I meet with clients one to five times per week.
