Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I love taking on new challenges and adventures. My approach focuses on each patient as an individual. I do not expect everyone to fit in a one size fits all box. I have a flexible approach that I individualize based on patient preference, goals, time availability, and life needs. While at the same time I am trained in many evidence-based treatment protocols that can provide a lot of structure and direction. I help individuals explore means of being more intentional with how they approach each day, life, and even the smallest decisions. I strive to help people achieve a more desirable life balance and improved quality of life by their own definition of what that means to them.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) with a compassionate and faith-based approach, recognizing the complexities involved in working with individuals exhibiting narcissistic traits. Integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles, I create a safe space to explore the underlying issues contributing to narcissism. Biblical teachings on humility, compassion, and selflessness are incorporated into therapy sessions to guide individuals toward self-awareness and transformation. I encourage prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on the Christian virtues of love and empathy. While maintaining professional boundaries, I collaborate with clients to address destructive patterns, fostering a sense of responsibility and accountability within the framework of their faith. This integrated approach aims to promote personal growth, humility, and a deeper understanding of one's identity in Christ while navigating the challenges associated with narcissistic personality disorder.

Counseling for Narcissism offers specialized care for individuals grappling with its complexities, a condition characterized by patterns of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. NPD counseling aims to address the deep-seated emotional and psychological issues that underpin these behaviors, fostering healthier interpersonal relationships and a more constructive self-image. Recognizing the challenges in treating NPD, our approach is grounded in compassion, understanding, and a commitment to facilitating change.
Tailored Counseling Approach for NPD

* Insight-Oriented Counseling: We guide clients toward developing insight into their own behaviors and the impacts on themselves and others, promoting the acknowledgement of and accountability for their actions.
* Emotion Regulation: Counseling focuses on enhancing emotional regulation skills to manage the vulnerabilities and sensitivities often underlying narcissistic behaviors.
* Interpersonal Effectiveness: We work to improve interpersonal skills, fostering empathy, and enhancing the capacity for meaningful and reciprocal relationships.
* Self-Esteem Building: A key component of counseling is addressing underlying issues of self-esteem and validation, helping clients build a healthier and more stable sense of self-worth that is not dependent on external validation.
Goals of Counseling:
Our NPD counseling services strive to:
* Enhance Self-Insight: Facilitate a deeper understanding of oneself, fostering acknowledgment of narcissistic patterns and their effects.
* Improve Empathy: Develop a greater capacity for empathy and understanding of others’ perspectives and feelings.
* Foster Healthier Relationships: Support the building of healthier and more mutually satisfying relationships.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
There is unfortunately a great deal of misinformation about NPD in the media and online. It is also frequently misdiagnosed for other conditions. I have experience both assessing and treating NPD. In terms of assessment, I use reliable clinical instruments (i.e., those used in clinical trials) to establish/rule out this diagnosis. For therapy, I apply several forms of contemporary psychodynamic therapies shown to be helpful in treating personality disorders (i.e., Transference-Focused Psychotherapy, Supportive-Expressive Therapy, and Mentalization-Based Treatment). I have published professional works (i.e., articles and a book) on psychodynamic therapy as well. Please note that I do not do couple's therapy and that I will not schedule appointments intended for other people (e.g., spouses, family members). All potential patients must contact me directly.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you aren't reaching your goals, feel unfulfilled, or struggle to keep close relationships, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats relationship and interpersonal issues typically using Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and/or Assertiveness Training. These approaches combine new insights with new skills so you can be more effective in your relationships and re-build damaged relationships.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Working with individuals who experience narcissistic traits or have been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder involves building insight, emotional awareness, and healthier interpersonal patterns. In therapy, I offer a structured and respectful environment where we explore underlying vulnerabilities, attachment wounds, and defense mechanisms that contribute to self-image struggles, sensitivity to criticism, and relationship challenges. Through a blend of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches, we work toward developing greater empathy, accountability, and more fulfilling, balanced ways of relating to others and oneself.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for individuals struggling with personality-related challenges, including narcissistic traits, emotional dysregulation, relational conflict patterns, and other long-standing personality and attachment difficulties. These concerns often impact relationships, self-awareness, communication, emotional regulation, and overall functioning, and can create repeated cycles of conflict, misunderstanding, or disconnection in personal and family relationships.
Brad takes a holistic, trauma-focused approach to treatment, recognizing that long-standing personality patterns often develop in response to early attachment wounds, unresolved trauma, emotional neglect, or adverse childhood experiences. Therapy focuses on increasing insight, emotional awareness, and the ability to recognize and shift deeply ingrained relational and behavioral patterns over time.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support meaningful psychological and emotional change. Treatment may involve exploring past experiences, attachment dynamics, and core beliefs that influence current patterns in relationships and self-perception.
Personality-related challenges are typically persistent and deeply rooted, meaning that meaningful change often requires consistent therapeutic work focused on both present-day behaviors and underlying emotional experiences. Rather than surface-level advice, therapy emphasizes deeper understanding, emotional processing, and the development of healthier relational patterns.
Brad also works with individuals, couples, and families when appropriate to support improved communication, clearer boundaries, and more stable relational dynamics. This collaborative work can help reduce conflict, improve understanding between parties, and support healthier interaction patterns over time.
The goal of therapy is not to label or define a person, but to support growth, self-awareness, and the ability to build healthier, more stable, and more fulfilling relationships. Change is possible with the right support and commitment to the therapeutic process.

Natalie Campbell
Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
Living with someone who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder can be incredibly frustrating. You may feel confused, isolated, and trapped. I work with clients to help them explore their relationships and determine the best ways to take care of themselves. This may involve leaving the relationship, building confidence in their own truth, or both. I'm very comfortable discussing this important topic.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
I possess a wealth of expertise in effectively addressing the complex issue of narcissistic abuse. I have created and published extensive resources on this topic, including audios, videos, eBooks, and The Narcissistic Abuse Survival Tool Kit. These resources have helped thousands of individuals on their journey towards healing from the trauma of narcissistic abuse. This form of abuse often leaves individuals feeling bewildered, isolated, and trapped in a perpetual cycle of walking on eggshells. My approach is rooted in fostering a deep understanding of the covert tactics employed by narcissists, such as gaslighting, manipulation, projection, and DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender). I guide clients in learning to establish and maintain healthy boundaries, a crucial step towards reclaiming their lives. Furthermore, I incorporate EMDR therapy to support individuals in coping with the effects of a narcissistic relationship and, when necessary, summoning the inner strength to break free from it.

Arlington is home to the Pentagon and a concentration of federal government, defense contracting, and intelligence community workers that gives it a distinctive therapy clientele — people who often cannot openly discuss their work, carry significant stress related to security clearances, and navigate the psychological weight of careers lived at the intersection of policy and national security. The county is one of the most educated and affluent in the United States, with a population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and financially able to engage in longer-term work. Virginia Hospital Center and the broader Northern Virginia healthcare ecosystem provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most established private practice communities in the Washington DC metro area. Arlington's large Latinx population — concentrated in the Columbia Pike corridor — creates important demand for Spanish-speaking and culturally affirming therapists alongside the predominantly white-collar therapy clientele.
