Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Hamilton, ON
I specialize in helping survivors of trauma—including narcissistic abuse and complex PTSD—build mind-body connection, calm their nervous systems, gain new skills, and heal old wounds.
Do you feel weighed down by anxiety, shame, or self-doubt? Have painful experiences or toxic relationships left you stuck in patterns like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-blame? Is your inner critic louder than your own voice, leaving you exhausted from holding it all together?
If you’ve tried therapy before and felt reduced to a checklist of symptoms, my work is different. I see your patterns as survival strategies that once kept you safe—even if they hold you back now. Therapy is a space to slow down, feel truly heard, and make sense of the experiences that shaped you so you can move toward a life that feels fulfilling.

Raised by a narcissistic or emotionally immature parent?
Using Bowen family-systems, IFS parts work, the Gottman Method, existential inquiry, CBT, and mindfulness, I tailor 50-minute sessions that target the roots—not just the symptoms—of scapegoating, system anxiety, and relationship turmoil. You’ll leave each meeting with a concrete practice: boundary scripts, nervous-system resets, or partner dialogue guides.

My work focuses on supporting individuals impacted by relational trauma, narcissistic abuse, childhood abuse, and estrangement.
I specialize in trauma rooted in attachment wounds and power-imbalanced relationships. My approach is deeply trauma-informed, culturally attuned, and grounded in nervous system regulation. I understand how early relational trauma and narcissistic dynamics shape adult relationships, boundaries, and self-worth, often invisibly and profoundly.

I’m Ionatan Stan, a Registered Psychotherapist and holistic counselor.

Coming to therapy is an act of strength and courage. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate place for you to explore and heal. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by experiences they can’t always put into words. Together, we slow down and make space for your thoughts, feelings, and patterns, so that what feels confusing or heavy can begin to make sense. My approach is psychodynamic and relational, which means I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is a powerful part of healing.

The loss of a loved one, a marriage or relationship breakdown particularly in narcissistic abuse relationships, leaves us feeling depleted and abandoned.
The focus of my practice is to help clients build a relationship with themselves and heal the parts of them they've abandoned. Moving through grief after the death of a loved one or a relationship that has ended are challenging transitions. I assist clients in reclaiming their peace and crafting a new story that releases what has held them back.

Socrates famously said, “the unexamined life is not worth living.” The examined life provides meaning to life, understanding oneself to understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to examine client’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and how they influence their anxiety, depression, relationships, core values, and underlying assumptions. I offer diverse life experiences that provide unique insights into client’s issues. Together we can work towards your ideal life.

Accepting new clients! If you’re anything like many of the people I work with, you might be carrying pain that didn’t start today—but still shows up in your everyday life. Maybe it’s from early experiences, relationship hurt, or attachment wounds that left you questioning your worth or feeling anxious when things get close. You might struggle to trust, to feel safe in your body, or to ask for what you need without fear, guilt, or self-doubt. Sometimes, the anxiety hits without warning—and it’s exhausting.

Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Counsellors
What type of therapy is best for narcissistic personality disorder?
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is best treated with talk therapy, which could involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, gestalt therapy, or similar approaches. A therapist will help a patient uncover the feelings that may drive their behavior and discover how to engage with themselves and those around them with greater empathy and understanding, fewer demands, and less defensiveness, with the goal of developing a more authentic sense of self that enables healthier relationships.
How do therapists treat NPD?
By developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and continually focusing patients on relationships, community, and connection, a therapist, through talk therapy, may be able to help someone with NPD change. In sessions, a therapist will help an individual achieve relief from their current stressors, including the treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. A therapist may also help an individual to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms, learn new ways of interacting with others, and eventually become able to feel and display empathy.
Can a narcissist be cured with therapy?
Therapy can be effective. After a serious setback or great loss, someone with NPD may be forced to recognize that they are not immune to life’s challenges. That can spur feelings of melancholy and depression that lead them to seek professional help. Once an individual decides to seek help, they have already taken a step that the majority of those with NPD never will. Still, people with NPD often quit therapy as they naturally resist feeling vulnerable, being challenged, or admitting to flaws.
How can you get narcissistic personality disorder treatment for someone?
It is notoriously difficult to convince someone with NPD to seek help. With their feelings of superiority, they may be unlikely to recognize or acknowledge that they have a problem, or that their problem is narcissism. Sometimes, they are aware that they are arrogant and that others resent them but they don’t see it as a problem because they are convinced of their superiority. People with NPD have trouble maintaining relationships, but family members and others who do feel close to them, and whose presence they value, may be able to encourage them to seek therapy.
