It's your friendly neighborhood mental health therapist (with a side of sarcasm and a dash of humor). Think of me as the person who shows up in jeans instead of the usual stuffy attire—because who says we can’t talk about your deepest thoughts while wearing a favorite “this is how I feel today” outfit? I’m here to genuinely listen and understand you, even if you feel like you’re living in a world of colorful (or dark) thoughts while others are stuck inside the proverbial box. I’m all about creating a space where you can express your stuff YOUR way.

I have a passion for helping people to become the best versions of themselves; and I have always been a sounding board for those closest to me. I was also inspired by my late father, who was a Substance Abuse Counselor, and my late mother, who was always an advocate for those in need. Also, mental health is a very important topic that is sometimes overlooked. We take care of our bodies and get checkups when things seem out of balance, and we should do the same for our minds.

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.
