Is there an adult who your daughter trusts? An aunt or uncle, an old teacher, the parent of a friend (even if she isn't chummy with the friend any more), her Girl Scout leader, etc.?
Lots of times kids won't talk to their parents, but sometimes they will talk to another adult. I know that my daughter sometimes won't talk to me about things because she doesn't want to make my depression worse.
Maybe this other adult could invite her to go shopping or for ice cream, or bake cookies with her. They probably shouldn't pry - but just be there so that she can talk if she wants to.
Good luck.
