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
Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you aren't reaching your goals, feel unfulfilled, or struggle to keep close relationships, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats relationship and interpersonal issues typically using Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and/or Assertiveness Training. These approaches combine new insights with new skills so you can be more effective in your relationships and re-build damaged relationships.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Individual and Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
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.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
Many people searching under “narcissism” are trying to understand painful relational patterns in themselves or in someone close to them. You may notice tendencies toward emotional distance, self‑protection, or a need to appear a certain way, and worry that this means something fixed about who you are. You may also be living with the impact of a parent or partner whose self‑involvement left little room for your needs.
I understand these patterns less as labels and more as deeply rooted strategies shaped by early relationships and shame. In our work, we focus less on simply reducing distress and more on changing your relationship with yourself and others. We look at what these defenses are protecting, how they affect your sense of self and connection (including the impact on people you care about), and what more grounded and flexible relating could look like for you now.
If you’re dealing with a narcissistic parent or partner, our work centers on your side of the dynamic: making sense of the pattern you’re in, supporting your nervous system, and exploring what boundaries and choices feel most protective and self‑respecting for you. We focus on supporting you in your growth and healing, not on diagnosing partners or family members.
