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
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.
