Narcissistic Personality Disorder
South Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) can be challenging to treat, but at South Psychology, we offer therapeutic approaches to help individuals with NPD understand and manage their emotions. Our dedicated team is committed to guiding you on your inner-self work journey.
Our Approach:
Individualized Therapy: We create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your narcissistic traits, lack of empathy, and emotional complexities. Our evidence-based approaches aim to foster self-awareness and growth.
Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques: Through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), we address distorted thought patterns and promote healthier coping strategies. You’ll learn to navigate relationships and emotions more effectively.
Holistic Healing: Beyond therapy sessions, we consider lifestyle factors, self-esteem, and overall well-being. Our goal is to empower you toward positive change.
How We Can Help:
Self-Reflection: Explore the roots of narcissistic traits and work toward healthier self-perception.
Emotional Regulation: Learn tools to manage emotions, build empathy, and improve relationships.
Supportive Environment: South Psychology provides a space where transformation is possible.

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
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is often misunderstood and frequently misused as an insult on social media. In reality, most people show traits of narcissism at times, but true NPD is less common and far more complex. My work focuses on helping clients (and those impacted by them) understand the protective roots of narcissism—often tied to shame, neglect, or unmet needs for validation. Using IFS, psychodynamic, interpersonal, and mindfulness approaches, I support authentic self-awareness, accountability, and healthier relationships. My diagnostic expertise helps clarify the difference between narcissistic traits and full NPD.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) with a compassionate and faith-based approach, recognizing the complexities involved in working with individuals exhibiting narcissistic traits. Integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles, I create a safe space to explore the underlying issues contributing to narcissism. Biblical teachings on humility, compassion, and selflessness are incorporated into therapy sessions to guide individuals toward self-awareness and transformation. I encourage prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on the Christian virtues of love and empathy. While maintaining professional boundaries, I collaborate with clients to address destructive patterns, fostering a sense of responsibility and accountability within the framework of their faith. This integrated approach aims to promote personal growth, humility, and a deeper understanding of one's identity in Christ while navigating the challenges associated with narcissistic personality disorder.
