Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Davenport, IA

My emotions make me feel out of control. I just want to live authentically & be accepted as me, but self-doubt & fear get in my way. My family/spouse is unhealthy at best & abusive at worst. I've lived so much of my life trying to be enough for everyone else that I lost myself in the process. I'm not even sure of who I am anymore. I thought they loved me, but then how could they treat me this way? My relationship feels like a constant rollercoaster. One minute things are great & then it's terrible. Worse, I have no clue how we even got there. It feels like madness. No contact? Limited contact? I just don't know what to do!

***Teletherapy***Phone/Video Sessions and Messaging Plans Available*** I am currently accepting new clients across the state of Iowa for teletherapy. As a therapist my goal is to join you on your journey, provide support, offer tools, and empower you to meet your goals. My style is non-judgmental and exploratory. I will be direct and honest with you, challenge you when necessary, and always strive to bring out your greatest potential.

I am passionate about partnering with my clients on their journey to improve their lives. It has been rewarding to watch the people I serve discover that they are already doing many things to help themselves through difficult situations, and our work together builds on those strengths. In sessions, you can expect to be heard, valued, and respected in a comfortable, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can find the tools you need to achieve your goals.

Searching for help is a courageous first step to change. You may be feeling anxious or depressed. Are you looking for support in changing addictive behaviors from a non-judgmental approach? Perhaps you have experienced traumatic events that have left you feeling "stuck." Or maybe you have relationship issues and aren't sure where to go from here. Many of my clients have experienced grief and loss and simply need support working through the stages of grief. I have also served children and families. Whatever your needs, there IS hope.

I provide a very straight-forward and direct solution focused approach for addressing barriers of life. I understand that sometimes we all can use a safe space to process situations that come along with being human in a sometimes less than humane world. I provide guidance through instructing the use of various breathing exercises, grounding, stabilization, and relaxation techniques to provide clients with tools for minimizing stress responses.

It can be hard asking for help, but I am eager to get to know you and your story and help you create a positive change in your life. I serve both children and adults in need of a safe space to find the skills they need to thrive. I have a designated play room where children can express their creativity and feel comfortable talking with me. My office is also a safe, confidential environment where adults can feel empowered to share their thoughts and feelings and know their voices are heard.

I have made it my professional mission to assist and support adults who have been struggling with generational trauma, complex trauma, PTSD, and dysfunctional attachment styles that cause issues in relationships, work, school, and families.

Feelings of anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties can have a profound effect on your quality of life. Mental health care is an important component of building personal functioning and making lasting changes to individual outlook and situation. As a therapist I believe that you are the expert of your own life and experiences, and my role is to help you create meaning and understanding of those experiences. Together, we can help build realistic and effective coping skills to manage the unique challenges that you face to create lasting, positive change.

Hey there! Life can leave us with thoughts, feelings, and emotions that are sometimes difficult to navigate on our own. Everyone deserves a safe space to honestly share their burdens and celebrate their successes! I believe change is inevitable when we show up authentically and strive to gain insight into what is working well and what might not be work so well. When old patterns that no longer serve us, are uncovered, new ways of thinking and being will reflect a life that is true to you!

I work with clients who are struggling with complicated grief, anger, stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, sexual abuse, relationship concerns and substance abuse. Counseling works great for people who are willing to do things different so they can have a more positive outcome. Mental health is not something to be ashamed of and does not have to be a life sentence. Most people struggle at some point in their life and could use some support. There are other counselors in the practice that can also provide help. Visit us at www.rrcsmentalhealth.com We look forward to helping you with your journey.

I work best with those who are interested in and motivated to deeply explore and understand themselves in the service of lasting growth. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, grief, OCD, relationship concerns, family-of-origin difficulties, and feelings of isolation and disconnection. I also have a strong interest in working with individuals with marginalized identities who present with identity-related challenges, especially when living in a context that doesn't support- or actively works to oppress- those identities.

As a therapist, I strive to help people get connected and reconnected with their lives by being true to themselves and living lives they can be proud of. I strive to teach, inspire, and help each client to reach achievable goals in order to enrich their lives.

I offer an in depth, diversity affirming approach to psychotherapy. I am passionate about providing clients with meaningful and effective services tailored to each person. My training, experience, and skill-set uniquely qualifies me to work within the intersections of addictions, attachment issues, traumatic experiences, and relationship issues. I engage with clients deeply to allow them to experience life more fully. Many people cover their genuine feelings to protect themselves from pain. I strive to create a safe environment where trust can be developed in the therapeutic relationship so that clients can gradually rely less on their need to protect themselves through self-destructive patterns.

Hello! I work with individuals (18+) on a variety of issues. I have availability for weekday afternoons and evenings. There is currently a waitlist for sliding scale clients. My practice is based on the belief that everyone should have access to a trained counselor who greets them with unconditional positive regard and creates a nonjudgmental space to collaborate. I aim to empower you to grow while working toward your goals and build upon the resilience and strengths you have already cultivated throughout your life.
