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.

I work with clients who have been abused by narcissists. This shows up in how clients were parented and their current relationships with a partner who is narcissistically abusive.

Narcissism
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.

Narcissism
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.
