Nina Marikian
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Being in a relationship with a narcissist can feel like walking on a tightrope. I work with clients to recognize manipulation, reclaim boundaries, and regain a sense of safety, confidence, and self-respect that has been undermined.

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.

Modesto sits at the center of California's San Joaquin Valley and is shaped by its agricultural economy — the surrounding Stanislaus County produces almonds, milk, and poultry at nationally significant scale — with therapists frequently addressing the mental health effects of agricultural work, including seasonal income volatility and the physical and psychological demands of farm labor. The city has a large Hispanic population and a significant community of Punjabi Sikh agricultural workers and business owners, creating demand for bilingual and culturally informed therapists who understand immigration stress and cross-cultural family dynamics. Memorial Medical Center and Doctors Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, while California State University Stanislaus supplies clinical training to the local community. Modesto's relatively high rates of poverty and crime create a therapy landscape in which economic stress and community trauma are recurring clinical themes.
