Narcissistic Personality Disorder
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.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Ashley Mason
Counselor/Therapist, CMHC, LMHC
Living with Narcissistic Personality Disorder often means struggling with fragile self-esteem, intense emotions, and difficulties in relationships. Many of my clients feel pressure to appear strong and successful on the outside while secretly fearing rejection, failure, or exposure on the inside. In therapy, I offer a steady, non-judgmental space to explore these patterns and the pain underneath them. Together, we work to build greater self-awareness, improve emotional regulation, and create more stable and satisfying connections with others. Over time, clients can begin to feel less trapped by the need for perfection or control and more at ease in their authentic selves.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Narcissistic abuse can have profound effects on a survivor's mental and emotional well-being, leading to symptoms of anxiety, depression, complex trauma, and low self-esteem. I provide trauma-informed care to help survivors process their experiences, address symptoms of trauma, and develop coping strategies for managing distressing emotions and triggers.

I work with clients who have been abused by narcissists. This shows up in how clients were parented and their current relationships with a partner who is narcissistically abusive.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Chelsea Ellinger Center for Change
Counselor/Therapist, Social Worker
Pathological narcissism can be expressed in temporary reactions and specific traits, or in a stable, enduring narcissistic personality disorder, NPD. Both pathological narcissism and NPD can co-occur with areas and periods of high functioning, competence, and sense of agency with goals, motivation, directions, and even outstanding contributions, or alternatively with intermittent qualities and capabilities—in specific, social affiliations or interpersonal closeness. When the level of pathological narcissism is less severe, triggered in certain situations, or limited to a set of specific character features, it is referred to as narcissistic pathology or narcissistic traits. The diagnostic term NPD refers to a stable long-term personality functioning that meets the DSM-5 section II or III criteria for NPD or any other comprehensive diagnostic description. Independently of the level of severity, pathological narcissism can either be overt, striking, and obtrusive, or covert, internally concealed and unnoticeable to others.
