Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Molly Heffernan
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
The impacts of narcissism in relationships can be profound and often detrimental. Narcissistic individuals typically exhibit a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a lack of empathy, and a constant need for admiration. In relationships, this can lead to a one-sided dynamic where the narcissist dominates conversations, seeks constant validation, and undermines the well-being of their partner. Communication breakdowns, emotional manipulation, and a sense of being devalued are common consequences. The partner of a narcissist may experience a range of negative emotions, including frustration, loneliness, and diminished self-esteem. The relationship often becomes imbalanced, with the narcissist prioritizing their own needs and desires at the expense of the other person. Addressing and navigating the challenges posed by narcissism in relationships may require professional intervention, as therapy can provide support for both individuals involved, fostering healthier communication patterns and promoting a more equitable and fulfilling connection.

Nakasha Ogbonna
Registered Social Worker, RSW
I have years of experience supporting those living with the effects of narcissistic abuse whether from a significant other, family members, or boss/ coworker. I offer a warm and nonjudgmental approach that will allow you the emotional safety to make sense of your experience, explore the mix of emotions and sometimes seemingly opposing values, shattered sense of confidence, self efficacy, and distrust of self in decision making that survivors of narcissistic abuse are often left with. I can also support those living with narcissistic personality disorder with managing their symptoms, navigate interpersonal interactions with greater authenticity, and improve the quality of their relationships with others.

Lolita Abramyan
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP
If you have experience with a narcissist, it's important to seek out tools to defend and protect yourself against the harmful effects of narcissistic abuse on your mental health. NPD is a complex spectrum disorder which significantly impacts the victims and survivors of it. I teach my client about NPD and the effect it may have had on them, as well as how to cope with and overcome narcissistic abuse. I provide a safe, nurturing, and compassionate space for my clients to explore their history with narcissistic partners, family members, friends, and/or colleagues. Using a variety of carefully selected approaches, my goal is to empower others to protect themselves and heal from the trauma they have sustained or are currently living with. You are not alone, you are not "crazy", and help is available to you.
