Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

The therapeutic process has the ability to transform. I am living proof of this. At my lowest point, I was anxious, depressed, suicidal, and trapped in addictions. With the help of a skilled therapist, I was able to come out of this darkness - inspiring me to leave the business world in order to help others who are suffering. I believe that everyone deserves a fighting chance to overcome trauma and abuse and live a rich, full, and satisfying life. I believe that we can change and grow at any time in our lives. I believe in the beauty, resiliency, and strength of the human spirit. I believe that we are all worthy and capable of love.

I help people build healthy relationships, work through painful break-ups, improve their social interactions and reduce their anxiety. If you are looking for clarity on your situation, struggling in a difficult relationship, worrying a great deal about upsetting others, feeling confused or overwhelmed, I can help. Particularly, if you or someone in your life identifies with traits of Narcissistic or Borderline Personality Disorder, I can help you cope, whether it's you or your loved one suffering from these symptoms.

Feel like your life didn't turn out the way you wanted it to? Ruminating on the past, or worried about the future? Do you want to learn how to regulate your emotions or not give in to your impulses? Are you struggling in your relationship or still sad about a breakup? Is the modern dating word stressing you out? Do you want to improve your relationship with your kids, partner or parents? Are you or a loved one suffering with BPD or NPD ? I can help. It may not feel like it right now, but change is possible and inevitable!

Therapy works, and people can change. Living in a world that is highly relational, we often find that our toughest psychological problems are rooted in systemic relationship issues. I work with individuals and couples who are interested in developing healthier connections with themselves and with others. In order to make healthy relationships with others possible, one must foster a healthy relationship with oneself. In developing psychological health in ourselves, we become better able to interact with others in a way that does not cause us deep pain and ongoing frustration.

Have you been in a relationship with someone who has been identified as a narcissist? Did your partner have little concern for your feelings and turn your world upside with chaos, conflict, abuse, and poor boundaries? You wonder what was wrong with you, why did things end this way, and if the universe working against you because people in your life seem unreliable, manipulative, and inconsistent. Distrust of others and pain seem to be your life's theme right now. You long for a safe place to connect with someone who understands.

​I’m Jamie Gillette, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been working in the mental health field for over 10 years.  I give feedback, information and practical tools, that make a fast impact, so you can begin to see progress rapidly.  I have a great deal of experience and training working with all types of trauma (i.e. sexual abuse, domestic violence etc.), as well as more common struggles like anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.

I specialize in treating survivors of narcissistic abuse, relationship issues, anxiety and depression. I am also very interested in what it means and how to become, a fully functioning human being, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. In this world that has been accelerating at a pace beyond our expectations and sometimes our ability to cope,how do we find peace, happiness and fulfillment, or at least the absence of anxiety and depression? Locked within our own personal stories lie the answer to these questions. Whatever "pathology" you present with can be turned into a "path" toward healing.

I have 20 years of experience but I don't believe that says anything unless I can relate, connect and feel with my clients. I can be professional when necessary but I am better at just being real. I am not everyones therapist and I am okay with it. I engage in the conversation with respect and authenticity. I'm direct with the intention to help and shift the issues in a place for change . I am good at what I do and passionate about helping people through pain.

Therapy is about exploring, experimenting, discovering, and being vulnerable. In our therapy together you will learn to increase self-compassion and mindfulness, and your ability to sit with uncertainty and bear witness to uncomfortable feelings and body sensations. You will gain awareness of the role negative core beliefs and thoughts have upon mood and learn how to challenge those negative thought patterns. You will learn to set appropriate boundaries by asserting feelings, recognizing wants and needs, and identifying the role shame and guilt might play in causing unhealthy, harmful, stale, and inauthentic behaviors.

Are you a survivor of trauma? Are you a BIPOC/POC (person of color), LGBTQIA+, immigrant or 1st-generation American in your 20s, 30s, or 40s? Do you feel lost, hopeless, anxious, or isolated, like no one "sees" you for ALL of who you are? Do/did you have narcissistic or borderline parents - and trouble living up to their (or your) perfectionist standards? Do you often feel "not good enough," "bad," ashamed, guilty, or unworthy of love? Do anxiety, depression, chronic, negative thinking, or self-defeating patterns hold you back or prevent you from moving forward and living a life you want /deserve to live?

If you have tried ECT, ketamine, various medications and have not seen the improvement and relief you are seeking for your anxiety and depression, reach out to find if you are a good candidate for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I use EMDR with clients that suffer from treatment resistant depression (TRD) and/or pervasive anxiety to treat the root causes of the depression and anxiety that other treatments have not been able to resolve. I also work with clients who have been raised by a narcissistic or emotionally unavailable parent and struggle with self esteem and unhealthy relationships.

I strive to help people become their own authority, which may have been compromised by unhealthy relationships, substance abuse, depression, and anxiety. I focus on the individual's relationship with themselves, fostering an understanding and compassion towards personal strengths and vulnerabilities. I believe it is imperative to address underlying issues with out judgment or shame, so that we can heal parts of the self that are no longer serving us. My clinical training is in psychodynamic therapy, and I tend to gravitate towards an attachment based and humanistic approach.

Psychotherapy has the greatest impact when it is collaborative, interactive, and trauma-informed. I provide a safe, empowering space where we can slow down & untangle the messiness of being a human. Some of the goals of our work together will include: managing stressors, breaking old patterns, setting healthy boundaries, and weathering the upsets of life through mindfulness, co-regulation, and self-compassion. Therapy is about connecting to your strengths and learning how to integrate your experiences, including your traumas, into a healed, authentic sense of self. I am trained in attachment-focused EMDR & the Hakomi method.

Do you experience anxiety, depression, or negative self-worth? Have you become stuck in negative patterns of poor self-care or interpersonal relationships that are draining or even abusive? I have dedicated my practice to helping others heal and break free from negative cycles of abuse - both within and outside oneself.

Many of us use ways we coped in the past and we find ourselves blocked in the present. Maybe old strategies which once worked for you no longer function well in the present. And you'd like to explore possible changes. Perhaps I can help. In my work, I seek, with you, to identify and connect past feelings and previous ways to adapt with your present. As you begin to know more about yourself and your feelings, increased understanding can lead to change.
