Narcissism
James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I have worked with many profoundly narcissistic people over the years, so I have a depth of understanding of the issues and dynamics involved. Although such persons tend to evoke suspicion and contempt (along with fascination and idealization) I can also see them sympathetically in terms of the profound liabilities of their way of being. Real love rarely penetrates them, and when it does it quickly flies away. Patient, careful, reliable therapeutic work can facilitate the development of alternative behavioral/emotional patterns that are more satisfying (and less punishing for others).

Individual and Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
While those who show characteristics of Narcissistic Personality Disorder are some of the least likely to seek therapy, the negative impact that these characteristic patterns can have on relationships or work life can lead some to desire targeted and lasting change in how they relate to other people. With years of experience working with personality issues, I can help you better understand which patterns are ineffective and how to create more effective patterns in your life.

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.
