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.

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).
