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.

Work focuses on understanding patterns around self-esteem, sensitivity to criticism, and relationship dynamics that may feel difficult to sustain. Therapy is both direct and thoughtful, balancing insight into underlying vulnerabilities with building more flexible ways of relating to yourself and others.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The reality is everyone has a bit of Narcissism because we are all selfish in the way we look at and see the world as individuals. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is frequently thrown around these days, often by partners in relationships to describe their experiences of the other person. Its frequently overused because in the pain of our broken communication, destructive conflicts, and relational isolation, its hard to see the spouse or partner any other way than the box I've put them in. And yet, given relationally intelligent tools many of these couples are then able to experience a radical transformation in their relationship and build true lasting intimacy with one another. That said, there is a true Narcissistic Personality Disorder, less frequent than commonly popularized, but real none the less. I've worked with these cases and its very difficult if not impossible for this type of person to take responsibility for anything they did. If you think you are dealing with someone with this disorder, don't hestitate. Call Growth and Change Counseling today at 408-461-9658.

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.
