Narcissism
Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Counseling for Narcissism offers specialized care for individuals grappling with its complexities, a condition characterized by patterns of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. NPD counseling aims to address the deep-seated emotional and psychological issues that underpin these behaviors, fostering healthier interpersonal relationships and a more constructive self-image. Recognizing the challenges in treating NPD, our approach is grounded in compassion, understanding, and a commitment to facilitating change.
Tailored Counseling Approach for NPD
* Empathetic and Nonjudgmental Environment: We prioritize creating a secure therapeutic space where individuals feel safe to explore their feelings, behaviors, and the roots of their narcissistic tendencies without judgment.
* Insight-Oriented Counseling: We guide clients toward developing insight into their own behaviors and the impacts on themselves and others, promoting the acknowledgement of and accountability for their actions.
* Emotion Regulation: Counseling focuses on enhancing emotional regulation skills to manage the vulnerabilities and sensitivities often underlying narcissistic behaviors.
* Interpersonal Effectiveness: We work to improve interpersonal skills, fostering empathy, and enhancing the capacity for meaningful and reciprocal relationships.
* Self-Esteem Building: A key component of counseling is addressing underlying issues of self-esteem and validation, helping clients build a healthier and more stable sense of self-worth that is not dependent on external validation.
Goals of Counseling:
Our NPD counseling services strive to:
* Enhance Self-Insight: Facilitate a deeper understanding of oneself, fostering acknowledgment of narcissistic patterns and their effects.
* Improve Empathy: Develop a greater capacity for empathy and understanding of others’ perspectives and feelings.
* Foster Healthier Relationships: Support the building of healthier and more mutually satisfying relationships.
* Promote Emotional Growth: Encourage emotional resilience and flexibility, moving away from fragile self-esteem and towards a more grounded self-concept.
* Support Behavioral Change: Guide individuals in recognizing harmful behaviors and implementing strategies for change, aiming for more adaptive and less harmful interpersonal interactions.
NPD counseling is a challenging but profoundly rewarding journey toward self-improvement and betterment of one's relationships. Recognizing the courage it takes to seek help for NPD, we are dedicated to providing specialized, empathetic care for individuals ready to embark on this path of change.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My psychoanalytic training, experience assessing and diagnosing personality disorders, and work as a professor teaching diagnosis and family dynamics inform my understanding of narcissistic patterns. My current IFS and relational approaches guide my work with clients struggling with these patterns themselves or concerned that a partner may be narcissistic. Together, we explore the dynamics involved, their impact on relationships, and opportunities for greater self-awareness, boundaries, and change.

Narcissism
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.

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.
