Dr. Kalos works with individuals experiencing narcissistic patterns or a diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, as well as individuals navigating difficult relationships characterized by these patterns.

Tools from a Schema Therapy perspective may be particularly beneficial. When working with couples, she also considers the relational patterns that contribute to ongoing difficulties.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
There is unfortunately a great deal of misinformation about NPD in the media and online. It is also frequently misdiagnosed for other conditions. I have experience both assessing and treating NPD. In terms of assessment, I use reliable clinical instruments (i.e., those used in clinical trials) to establish/rule out this diagnosis. For therapy, I apply several forms of contemporary psychodynamic therapies shown to be helpful in treating personality disorders (i.e., Transference-Focused Psychotherapy, Supportive-Expressive Therapy, and Mentalization-Based Treatment). I have published professional works (i.e., articles and a book) on psychodynamic therapy as well. Please note that I do not do couple's therapy and that I will not schedule appointments intended for other people (e.g., spouses, family members). All potential patients must contact me directly.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I have worked with many profoundly narcissistic people over the years, so I have a depth of understanding of the issues and dynamics involved. Although such persons tend to evoke suspicion and contempt (along with fascination and idealization) I can also see them sympathetically in terms of the profound liabilities of their way of being. Real love rarely penetrates them, and when it does it quickly flies away. Patient, careful, reliable therapeutic work can facilitate the development of alternative behavioral/emotional patterns that are more satisfying (and less punishing for others).

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My psychoanalytic training, experience assessing and diagnosing personality disorders, and work as a professor teaching diagnosis and family dynamics inform my understanding of narcissistic patterns. My current IFS and relational approaches guide my work with clients struggling with these patterns themselves or concerned that a partner may be narcissistic. Together, we explore the dynamics involved, their impact on relationships, and opportunities for greater self-awareness, boundaries, and change.
