Narcissistic Personality Disorder therapists in Park Ridge, Illinois IL
Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) can impact someone's life in various ways, especially concerning addictions, relationship challenges, or depression. In other words, imagine someone who constantly seeks admiration and lacks empathy for others. This behavior may strain their relationships, leading to conflicts and loneliness. Moreover, they might turn to addictive substances or behaviors to cope with feelings of inadequacy or emptiness. As a therapist specializing in these issues, I would focus on helping them understand the impact of their actions on themselves and others. We'd work on developing empathy, improving communication skills, and finding healthier coping mechanisms to foster more fulfilling relationships and manage difficult emotions.
