Narcissism
Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Individuals struggling with narcissistic personality dynamics often experience significant difficulties related to self-esteem, emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships, shame, vulnerability, and sensitivity to criticism or rejection. While these patterns may appear externally as defensiveness, control, anger, or emotional distance, they are frequently connected to deeper emotional pain, insecurity, attachment wounds, or unstable self-worth.
Therapy for narcissistic personality disorder and related personality patterns requires a thoughtful, nonjudgmental, and emotionally attuned approach. I work with clients to better understand recurring interpersonal conflicts, emotional reactions, self-protective behaviors, and underlying vulnerabilities while helping them develop healthier relationships, greater emotional insight, increased self-awareness, and more stable self-esteem.

Narcissism
Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Narcissism is a necessary component of a healthy ego. Everyone needs self-esteem in order to function successfully in society. On the other hand, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a legitimate disorder that is not only an outcome of the selfishness encouraged by modern culture but a legitimate condition with unconscious roots in early experiences of basic needs being unmet. Narcissism manifests as problems with regulating self-esteem, grasping one’s relative place in a world of others, and participating in relationships in which one demonstrates regard to others as independent objects with minds and feelings of their own. People with unhealthy degrees of narcissism have difficulty in understanding others’ perspectives, in letting themselves be vulnerable without feeling threatened, and in respecting or having awareness of boundaries. To get at the core of the defensive symptoms of grandiosity, entitlement, vulnerability, erraticism, and emotional explosiveness that attend NPD, and to begin to engage in considerate and empathic relationships, learning to be curious about and to imagine what things are like for others is key. By exploring the motivations underlying narcissistic behavioral traits, psychodynamic psychotherapy leads to greater self-awareness; authentic, fulfilling interpersonal interactions; and genuine confidence in oneself.
