Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Guzel Safina
Therapist, MA, MS, NCC, LMFT
You've been told you're too intense, too ambitious, or too demanding. Relationships end in ways that feel confusing or unfair. You may feel that others don't fully appreciate what you bring. Underneath the confidence, there may be a quiet exhaustion from performing, competing, or never quite feeling seen for who you truly are. I specialize in working with driven, complex individuals who have often felt like too much for the people around them. My approach is direct, intellectually rigorous, and free of the kind of superficial therapy that feels like a waste of your time. Together we gently explore the patterns shaping your relationships, and the gap between how you present to the world and what you experience privately. This is a space where your intelligence is an asset, not a threat.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
Narcissism is so deeply misunderstood in our culture. Beneath what may appear as grandiosity, detachment, or defensiveness, there is often a more vulnerable person dealing with shame, emptiness, or fear of being exposed as inadequate. Protecting ourselves comes in many forms.
In the type of therapy I practice, we approach these dynamics with curiosity rather than judgment. Psychoanalytic therapy offers a space to understand how early experiences may have led to the need for self-protection through idealization, perfectionism, or control. We work to strengthen the parts of you that feel fragile or hidden, so you can begin to feel more secure, connected, and whole, not through performance or validation, but through a deeper sense of self that feels authentic and stable.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Empowered Wellbeing, Trauma/Complex Trauma (CPTSD), Dissociation and Addiction Recovery Care
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
We have extensive background supporting folks through narcissistic trauma recovery. As well, on occasion, we will work with folks who identify as Narcissistic and are willing to engage in recovery. We recognize this takes strong footing in intersectional framework to interrupt power abuse, as well, some narcissistic expression is trauma based and can benefit from dyadic internal parts work and the recovery may/may not take as long as an entitlement origin NPD. Trauma based NPD can sometimes be hidden amongst other trauma based symptoms.
Some is entitlement based and requires a person to grow their existential field of relational compassion and actual empathy. Typically these situations require others in the family/close circle system to not enable and be collaboratively on board with holding the person with NPD to account for their behaviors. This is also true for those who are malignantly codependent and controlling. If that systemic agreement is not in place, often the person with NPD will lean on the enablers to try to escape accountability. NPD is unfortunately at pandemic like levels culturally in the hegemon, so it takes a strong culture of willingness to call people acting out into account -- they will not stop on their own. If you are seeking care for a loved one with this issue, as much as it would be wonderful to magically heal them, likely it is best to get your own care first! NPD Recovery is wonderful, worth it, and often takes many, many, many years of dedicated care! Loved ones and caring bystanders need to learn how to hold up a stop sign to egregious behavior out of care for the target first and helping the Narcissist to mitigate moral and even physical injury to the target/scapegoat. We need this on all levels, even national and global levels!
In some cases, NPD may be physiologically driven by mast cell flares, mold toxin exposure, chronic allergies, lingering infections, continued concussive symptoms ... -- in these cases, which are very different than conditioning, we would employ a more functional and integrative strategy.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
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.
