Faithful Connections Christian Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Navigating Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), whether personally or within a relationship, can involve challenges with self-esteem, emotional regulation, relationships, communication, and interpersonal boundaries. At Faithful Connections Christian Counseling, we provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment to help clients better understand relationship patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors that may be creating difficulties in their lives. Counseling focuses on developing greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, healthier communication, accountability, and more stable and respectful relationships.
For individuals seeking personal growth, therapy can provide an opportunity to explore underlying beliefs, strengthen a healthier sense of self, develop more constructive ways of responding to criticism or conflict, and build skills for navigating relationships. For those affected by narcissistic behaviors in a relationship, counseling can focus on recognizing unhealthy patterns, establishing appropriate boundaries, strengthening self-worth, and developing healthy coping strategies.
For clients who desire it, Christian faith can be incorporated into counseling through prayer, Scripture, spiritual reflection, and exploration of values such as humility, compassion, forgiveness, personal responsibility, and healthy relationships. Change begins with self-awareness and a willingness to grow. With compassionate support and practical tools, healthier patterns and meaningful relationships are possible.

Narcissism
Individual and Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
While those who show characteristics of Narcissistic Personality Disorder are some of the least likely to seek therapy, the negative impact that these characteristic patterns can have on relationships or work life can lead some to desire targeted and lasting change in how they relate to other people. With years of experience working with personality issues, I can help you better understand which patterns are ineffective and how to create more effective patterns in your life.

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.

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.

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.
