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.

Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
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.

Narcissism
Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC
I often support Highly Sensitive People/Empaths who are Adult Children of Narcissists (ACONs), people who have/had emotionally immature selfish parents or parents-in-law, are involved in Narcissistic family systems, or are navigating a narcissistic personality at work or somewhere else in their community. The experience of dealing with the gaslighting, raging, antagonism, selfishness, putdowns, control, volatility, loneliness, walking on eggshells and emotional pain is a lot to navigate alone. Getting support from someone experienced with narcissistic personalities can help you feel more empowered and less alone while you move through the fog of being close to someone who is narcissistic.
