Narcissistic Personality Disorder
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.

Living with or loving someone with narcissistic traits can be confusing and painful. In therapy, I help clients make sense of these patterns, set boundaries, and protect their own sense of self.

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.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Narcissistic patterns often develop as a way of managing vulnerability, self-worth, and relational pain. I work with individuals to understand these dynamics at a deeper level, focusing on increasing self-awareness, improving relationships, and developing a more stable and integrated sense of self over time.
