Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I don’t treat individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder—but I specialize in helping high-achieving women heal from the emotional wreckage left behind.
If you’re researching narcissism to make sense of your relationship, chances are you’re already in survival mode. You’ve been gaslit, manipulated, blamed, dismissed, and made to feel like you were the problem. You might be parenting with a narcissistic ex, navigating a high-conflict divorce, or trying to hold it together while silently unraveling. Whether you’re still in the relationship, just left, or dealing with post-separation abuse, you don’t need another person telling you to “just let it go.” You need someone who understands the patterns, the grief, the triggers—and how hard it is to parent, co-parent, and stay sane when you’re constantly being pulled back into the storm.
These relationships often involve DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender), flying monkeys (friends or family turned against you), covert or overt control, emotional neglect, financial abuse, and invisible wounds that no one sees—but you feel every single day. You’re likely burned out, anxious, emotionally numb, and exhausted from holding it all together. And let’s be honest—when you’re parenting in the aftermath of narcissistic abuse, it’s not “over” just because the relationship is.
This isn’t just a hard season. It’s trauma. It’s grief. It’s survival.
I help women like you—high-functioning, capable, and completely overwhelmed—find their footing again. Together, we’ll make sense of the chaos, calm your nervous system, set strategic boundaries, and begin to heal what’s been broken. Whether you’re co-parenting, parallel parenting, divorcing, or trying to escape the emotional quicksand of a toxic relationship, you don’t have to do this alone.
You need someone who understands the terrain and walks beside you—every step of the way.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
I possess a wealth of expertise in effectively addressing the complex issue of narcissistic abuse. I have created and published extensive resources on this topic, including audios, videos, eBooks, and The Narcissistic Abuse Survival Tool Kit. These resources have helped thousands of individuals on their journey towards healing from the trauma of narcissistic abuse. This form of abuse often leaves individuals feeling bewildered, isolated, and trapped in a perpetual cycle of walking on eggshells. My approach is rooted in fostering a deep understanding of the covert tactics employed by narcissists, such as gaslighting, manipulation, projection, and DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender). I guide clients in learning to establish and maintain healthy boundaries, a crucial step towards reclaiming their lives. Furthermore, I incorporate EMDR therapy to support individuals in coping with the effects of a narcissistic relationship and, when necessary, summoning the inner strength to break free from it.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
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.

Jonah Taylor
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My work with narcissistic traits focuses on two paths: helping motivated individuals understand their defensive patterns and their impact, and providing crucial support for partners and family members. For loved ones, therapy is a space to heal from narcissistic abuse, set firm boundaries, and reclaim your sense of self.
