Narcissism
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In assisting patients dealing with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), as well as their loved ones affected by it, I provide compassionate support and practical strategies to navigate the complexities of these relationships. Through therapy, we explore the impact of NPD on both the individual with the disorder and their loved ones, including the challenges in communication, emotional dynamics, and boundary-setting. I offer psychoeducation about NPD, helping patients and their loved ones understand the underlying traits and behaviors associated with the disorder. Additionally, we work on developing coping skills, assertiveness techniques, and self-care strategies to manage the effects of NPD on relationships and promote emotional well-being. The goal is to empower patients and their loved ones to set healthy boundaries, foster resilience, and navigate these relationships with greater understanding and compassion.

Narcissism
Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
I possess a wealth of expertise in effectively addressing the complex issue of narcissistic abuse. I have created and published extensive resources on this topic, including audios, videos, eBooks, and The Narcissistic Abuse Survival Tool Kit. These resources have helped thousands of individuals on their journey towards healing from the trauma of narcissistic abuse. This form of abuse often leaves individuals feeling bewildered, isolated, and trapped in a perpetual cycle of walking on eggshells. My approach is rooted in fostering a deep understanding of the covert tactics employed by narcissists, such as gaslighting, manipulation, projection, and DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender). I guide clients in learning to establish and maintain healthy boundaries, a crucial step towards reclaiming their lives. Furthermore, I incorporate EMDR therapy to support individuals in coping with the effects of a narcissistic relationship and, when necessary, summoning the inner strength to break free from it.

Narcissism
Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Working with individuals who experience narcissistic traits or have been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder involves building insight, emotional awareness, and healthier interpersonal patterns. In therapy, I offer a structured and respectful environment where we explore underlying vulnerabilities, attachment wounds, and defense mechanisms that contribute to self-image struggles, sensitivity to criticism, and relationship challenges. Through a blend of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches, we work toward developing greater empathy, accountability, and more fulfilling, balanced ways of relating to others and oneself.
