Narcissism
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Treatment for those who are in relationships with people who have narcissistic personality disorder. Therapy empowers survivors of trauma to recognize and challenge negative self-perceptions, anxiety, and self-doubt, which are all common outcomes of narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic abuse leaves a particular kind of damage — one that is difficult to explain to people who have not experienced it. If you have spent time in a relationship with a narcissistic partner, parent, or colleague, you may find yourself questioning your own reality, struggling with self-worth, or carrying anxiety and confusion that feels impossible to shake. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I specialize in narcissistic abuse recovery, coercive control, emotional manipulation, and trauma bonding — helping adults reclaim their sense of self and rebuild genuine confidence. Telehealth therapy for narcissistic abuse available across 40+ states.

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.
