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.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you aren't reaching your goals, feel unfulfilled, or struggle to keep close relationships, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats relationship and interpersonal issues typically using Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and/or Assertiveness Training. These approaches combine new insights with new skills so you can be more effective in your relationships and re-build damaged relationships.

Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Navigating relationships with someone who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or healing from its impact, can be confusing, painful, and exhausting. I work with clients to understand these dynamics, set healthy boundaries, and develop strategies for emotional safety and self-empowerment. Using an empathetic, evidence-informed approach, I help clients rebuild confidence, process their experiences, and regain control over their lives, fostering resilience and personal growth.

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.
