Narcissism
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is one of the most stigmatized and misunderstood diagnoses in mental health. It’s often reduced to labels like “self-centered” or “manipulative,” without acknowledging the deeper patterns underneath—patterns that are often shaped by early experiences, attachment wounds, and the need to protect a fragile sense of self. For some, being given this diagnosis can feel confusing or even confronting. For others, it may not fully capture the complexity of what they’re experiencing. At Nour Counseling, we approach this work with nuance, not judgment.
We don’t rely on surface-level labels—we work with you to understand the underlying patterns: how you relate to yourself, how you navigate relationships, how you manage vulnerability, and what happens when your sense of self feels threatened. From there, we actively support you in building greater self-awareness, emotional range, and more stable, reciprocal ways of connecting with others. This includes working through defensiveness, exploring underlying insecurities, and developing tools for communication and regulation that feel more grounded and sustainable. We also consider the cultural and relational context that shaped these patterns, so you’re not reduced to a diagnosis. This is thoughtful, collaborative work focused on helping you move toward relationships—and a sense of self—that feel more stable, connected, and real.

Narcissism
Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) with a compassionate and faith-based approach, recognizing the complexities involved in working with individuals exhibiting narcissistic traits. Integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles, I create a safe space to explore the underlying issues contributing to narcissism. Biblical teachings on humility, compassion, and selflessness are incorporated into therapy sessions to guide individuals toward self-awareness and transformation. I encourage prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on the Christian virtues of love and empathy. While maintaining professional boundaries, I collaborate with clients to address destructive patterns, fostering a sense of responsibility and accountability within the framework of their faith. This integrated approach aims to promote personal growth, humility, and a deeper understanding of one's identity in Christ while navigating the challenges associated with narcissistic personality disorder.

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.
