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.

Narcissism like many personality disorders is through talk therapy where you learn to relate better with others so your relationships are more intimate, enjoyable and rewarding.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
Narcissism is so deeply misunderstood in our culture. Beneath what may appear as grandiosity, detachment, or defensiveness, there is often a more vulnerable person dealing with shame, emptiness, or fear of being exposed as inadequate. Protecting ourselves comes in many forms.
In the type of therapy I practice, we approach these dynamics with curiosity rather than judgment. Psychoanalytic therapy offers a space to understand how early experiences may have led to the need for self-protection through idealization, perfectionism, or control. We work to strengthen the parts of you that feel fragile or hidden, so you can begin to feel more secure, connected, and whole, not through performance or validation, but through a deeper sense of self that feels authentic and stable.
