In my wholistic approach to helping folks heal from betrayal trauma and the residue of coercive control and narcissistic abuse, we will debrief your experience, gently make space for having all the hard feelings together and support you in learning how to be in and with your feelings in a supported, regulated manner to help you reestablish a sense of safety.
Perhaps you have come to realize you need support to cope with what some might term a high-conflict divorce or maybe you have come to feel that you are a shadow of your former self after a long-term painful relationship or maybe you are questioning whether or not you have been a victim of domestic abuse. These experiences could indicate that you have been a victim of coercive control, sometimes referred to as narcissistic abuse, a type of relational abuse that is increasingly common. If so, you are not alone. If so, you are likely in need of support, education and help in healing from betrayal trauma.

I believe psychotherapy is a tool, whereby clients can recognize both the conscious and unconscious factors that contribute to their pain. While people often have similar problems, there is no one size fits all solution. I work with clients to not only identify their problems, but to effect a solution, whereby the client can understand the behavioral patterns that contribute to their pain. Together, we can formulate a plan to achieve the change needed to have the peaceful, fulfilled life you see for yourself. Whether we need to discover more about the past or focus on the present, I will develop a proper treatment plan .

Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists

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.
