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.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Narcissistic personality disorder can involve patterns around self-esteem, sensitivity to criticism, and challenges in maintaining satisfying relationships. In therapy, we focus on creating a steady, nonjudgmental space to explore these dynamics with honesty and curiosity. Over time, the work centers on developing a more stable and grounded sense of self, increasing emotional awareness, and building more reciprocal, fulfilling connections with others.

While those who show characteristics of Narcissistic Personality Disorder are some of the least likely to seek therapy, the negative impact that these characteristic patterns can have on relationships or work life can lead some to desire targeted and lasting change in how they relate to other people. With years of experience working with personality issues, I can help you better understand which patterns are ineffective and how to create more effective patterns in your life.
