Narcissistic Personality Disorder
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.

Chuck Satterwhite
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MDiv
I have worked with many clients recovering from narcissistic abuse and have seen the devastation a narcissist leaves behind. Making sense of things can be difficult, and putting the pieces back together can be challenging. That's what our work together will focus on.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
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.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
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.

Richmond is Virginia's state capital and a city confronting its identity as the former capital of the Confederacy — a historical weight that has made racial equity, community healing, and the legacy of slavery active and ongoing conversations in clinical, academic, and public life. The city's significant African American community, its rapidly growing Latino population, and a large university sector anchored by Virginia Commonwealth University collectively shape diverse and evolving therapy demand. VCU Health and Bon Secours Richmond Health System provide major institutional mental health resources, while VCU's extensive psychology, counseling, and social work programs supply significant clinical training to the community. Richmond's growing arts and creative economy, rapid gentrification of historically Black neighborhoods, and strong LGBTQ+ community each contribute distinct dimensions to its therapy culture.
