Whether you're in a relationship with someone who has narcissistic traits or you're working to understand your own patterns, this is nuanced and often painful territory. At Simple Empathy I bring a clear-eyed, direct approach — no jargon, no demonizing, no oversimplification. If you're a survivor of narcissistic abuse, we'll rebuild your reality, your self-trust and your sense of worth. If you're someone working to understand your own narcissistic defenses, I'll meet you there too — with honesty and without judgment. Real change requires real honesty, and that's exactly what this work demands.

Narcissism
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Treatment for those who are in relationships with people who have narcissistic personality disorder. Therapy empowers survivors of trauma to recognize and challenge negative self-perceptions, anxiety, and self-doubt, which are all common outcomes of narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic abuse leaves a particular kind of damage — one that is difficult to explain to people who have not experienced it. If you have spent time in a relationship with a narcissistic partner, parent, or colleague, you may find yourself questioning your own reality, struggling with self-worth, or carrying anxiety and confusion that feels impossible to shake. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I specialize in narcissistic abuse recovery, coercive control, emotional manipulation, and trauma bonding — helping adults reclaim their sense of self and rebuild genuine confidence. Telehealth therapy for narcissistic abuse available across 40+ states.
