Sam Naimi, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Encino, CA
Narcissism

Sam Naimi

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
Narcissism is deeply misunderstood, and there is often considerable pain beneath the need to appear impressive, self-sufficient, or in control. In our work, we can make room for the shame, emptiness, or fear of inadequacy that may be difficult to share with anyone. We can explore how you came to protect yourself this way and what happens in your relationships when your sense of worth feels threatened. Over time, this work can help you feel more secure in yourself and less dependent on proving your value.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott, Psychologist in New York City, NY
Narcissism

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott

Psychologist, PsyD.
Treatment for those who are in relationships with people who have narcissistic personality disorder. Therapy empowers survivors of trauma to recognize and challenge negative self-perceptions, anxiety, and self-doubt, which are all common outcomes of narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic abuse leaves a particular kind of damage — one that is difficult to explain to people who have not experienced it. If you have spent time in a relationship with a narcissistic partner, parent, or colleague, you may find yourself questioning your own reality, struggling with self-worth, or carrying anxiety and confusion that feels impossible to shake. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I specialize in narcissistic abuse recovery, coercive control, emotional manipulation, and trauma bonding — helping adults reclaim their sense of self and rebuild genuine confidence. Telehealth therapy for narcissistic abuse available across 40+ states.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D., Pre-Licensed Professional in Arcata, CA
Narcissism

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.
