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.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Counseling for Narcissism offers specialized care for individuals grappling with its complexities, a condition characterized by patterns of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. NPD counseling aims to address the deep-seated emotional and psychological issues that underpin these behaviors, fostering healthier interpersonal relationships and a more constructive self-image. Recognizing the challenges in treating NPD, our approach is grounded in compassion, understanding, and a commitment to facilitating change.
Tailored Counseling Approach for NPD
* Empathetic and Nonjudgmental Environment: We prioritize creating a secure therapeutic space where individuals feel safe to explore their feelings, behaviors, and the roots of their narcissistic tendencies without judgment.
* Insight-Oriented Counseling: We guide clients toward developing insight into their own behaviors and the impacts on themselves and others, promoting the acknowledgement of and accountability for their actions.
* Emotion Regulation: Counseling focuses on enhancing emotional regulation skills to manage the vulnerabilities and sensitivities often underlying narcissistic behaviors.
* Interpersonal Effectiveness: We work to improve interpersonal skills, fostering empathy, and enhancing the capacity for meaningful and reciprocal relationships.
* Self-Esteem Building: A key component of counseling is addressing underlying issues of self-esteem and validation, helping clients build a healthier and more stable sense of self-worth that is not dependent on external validation.
Goals of Counseling:
Our NPD counseling services strive to:
* Enhance Self-Insight: Facilitate a deeper understanding of oneself, fostering acknowledgment of narcissistic patterns and their effects.

* Promote Emotional Growth: Encourage emotional resilience and flexibility, moving away from fragile self-esteem and towards a more grounded self-concept.
