Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Phoenix, AZ

During my years of tenure as a professional counselor I have found a few simple truths. Anxiety is real & it is ok. Let’s turn it into a strength. Trauma, depression & abuse of all kinds are real. Everyone deserves help & no one should go through it alone. Perhaps its lack of sleep, lack of self-care, lack of motivation, intrusive thoughts, diminishing personal connections, avoiding social engagements, over/under eating, or removing ourselves from the ones we love. Most of us will experience these very real issues during different points in our lives. You deserve to heal & experience your full potential.

I promise you that even when it feels like you just can't do it anymore.. you really can! I personally have experienced much of life's hardships but I'm grateful for that because it gave me the opportunity to help others! I love helping people find their passion and understand how to cope through life. I primarily work with narcissistic abuse survivors as well as empaths and HSP's. Understanding how to function in a world that you seemingly don't fit into can be a huge challenge that comes with what seems like, debilitating anxiety, depression, and more. Being an empath myself, I can completely understand and relate to my clients!

Is there a time in your life when you've felt alone, betrayed, unhappy or lost? Difficulties often leave us feeling helpless, isolated, and overwhelmed. As we unpack the trauma, anger, pain, and loss, you will learn tools for living authentically, transforming the way you connect, and experience healing and growth. On this journey of emotional healing and recovery I love seeing the progression one experiences as they show up and commit to working through life’s difficulties. We will walk down this path together, at your pace, implementing various techniques and tools that work best for you.

I believe it is imperative that we broaden our definition of "trauma." Trauma can be ANYTHING disruptive (in addition to assault, combat, death, etc.). An unhealthy relationship; a break-up; bullying; neglect; a stressful event or period of time are all traumatic. These disruptive experiences influence what we think about ourselves and our world; and they often guide our decisions and perspectives.

I’ve found that the most valuable currency is being the most true version of ourselves. Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, Grief & Abuse can make it challenging to stay on your best path. Maybe ambition is lost, or a compass is broken through no fault of our own. Perhaps you're experiencing lack of sleep, lack of self-care, lack of motivation, intrusive thoughts, diminishing personal connections, avoiding social engagements, over/under eating, or removing ourselves from the ones you love.

What would it be like to NO Longer live simply in "Reaction To" other people or past situations? We remove original "roots" of distress which have been preventing your mind to self-heal. How to know if a trauma-root has you stuck? If yes to any: 1. You find yourself repeating unwanted behaviors, despite KNOWING better. 2. Emotional distress last hrs.-days 3. Attracting drama/ toxic relationships & second guess yourself regularly. 4. Talk yourself OUT of first trusting your gut, or overthink even small things. 5. Having the same endless arguments that only just circle the drain.

You are not only good enough, you are BETTER than good enough. I know it may not FEEL like it at times. The harsh inner critic, the inability to make (or trust yourself to make) decisions, the putting on a brave face when on the inside you just want to scream. The things that keep you stuck are getting in the way of you living the life you deserve. And deep down, you know it’s time for a change. It’s time to treat yourself the way you treat others, with care and compassion. It’s time to find your way out of the vicious cycles that keep you stuck in overwhelm, self-doubt, overthinking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing.

On Line Sessions Only. I’m Tim Rogers. As a CA Licensed M.F.T., I work most effectively with High Profile Adults,Young People & their Families. Clients from the fields of Entertainment, Real Estate & Mental Health have found their way to my personal brand toward the long lasting relief of a lifetime w/internal psychological, spiritual and philosophical pain. The kind of pain that breeds overwhelming feelings of anxiety & depression; encourages thoughts of confusion & discourages the truth in one’s potential or abilities. All of which lends itself toward self-destructive behaviors which double down as “proof” of our unworthiness.

Unresolved relational issues. Past trauma that has begun affecting your normal routine. Marriage is going through a hard time. Family life is full of stress and conflict. Anxiety keeps growing and becoming more intense. These are all part of being human and being in relationship, and it’s OK to ask for help in the midst of them.

We are living in a very challenging time. Many of us are struggling with everyday issues and concerns of life. We attempt to manage and cope with the reality of a changing world, maintaining healthy relationships with immediate family, loved ones & friends. We are focused on positioning ourselves to meet our basic needs of food, shelter, and clothing. Combing this with the reality of being diagnosed with a Mental Health Disorder, fighting the disease of substance abuse, or attempting to confront our past traumatic childhood and adult trauma, a healthy therapeutic relationship is critical at this time for individual clients.

Accepting new clients! Let's be REAL. Life is hard and most of us get stuck from time to time. It's as simple as being human, but that does not mean we need to stay stuck. It is my honor to walk alongside you in this uncertain journey of life.

I have dedicated myself to excellence in care through trauma-informed, integration of treatments including EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, expressive art therapy, play therapy, among other therapeutic modes.

I always start with where a client is and move through a process of self awareness and discovery that brings about lasting change and newfound joy. While that is not an easy process it is a journey I have found worth taking in my own life and feel honored to take in another's.

Each person I work with brings a special "psychological fingerprint" that encompasses both their past and their present life experiences. I look forward to traveling the path with you.
