Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in 46032

Mothers/women in any stage of life, men and women navigating high conflict relationships or divorce, victims of narcissistic abuse, members of the clergy, college students, artists and entrepreneurs- my clients often come from high control relationships or religious dynamics and are working to connect with a stronger, more essential self. I provide a non-judgmental space to explore new ways of knowing yourself and your most intimate relationships so you can be in the driver's seat of your life.

The first step is always the hardest, but also the most rewarding. Choosing to reach out for help is the first step to new beginnings and opens up opportunities to grow, heal, and live life to the fullest. Once you take that first step change truly begins. My passion is to help people make that first step of healing from past trauma, life’s hardships, grief, and sorrow. I am here to help guide you through your journey by offering support in a non-judgmental environment while providing a client-centered and solution focused therapy.

Emotional distress is overwhelming and can interfere with your life. Professional support and treatment can help resolve many difficulties, relationships can become more fulfilling, and self image can be enhanced. I have a dynamic, warm and interactive style, and believe everyone has the ability to use their inner strength and awareness, as well as develop more effective ways of coping. I have been in private practice for fifteen years.

My holistic approach to psychotherapy draws upon many years of experience and training in Cognitive Behavioral, Gestalt & Jungian, Trauma-focused, and Addictions therapies, to help you discover your own solutions that will feel right to you. In addition, my colleagues at Helix Health Depression and Anxiety Center, offer complimentary skilled services, such as artfully tailored medication management, guided meditation & Breathwork groups, GeneSight testing, Ketamine treatment, weight loss management, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

If you’ve experienced trauma, or something that made you feel powerless, hopeless, or afraid, then I’d love to help you in your recovery process. I specialize in working with adults and teens to help them heal from trauma, such as domestic violence, abuse, and neglect. I also support people in managing concerns like depression, anxiety, substance use, family/relationship conflict, grief, and anger management. I use evidence-based techniques including EMDR, EFT, CBT, and DBT. I have experience working within the LGBTQ+ community, and I am able to provide counseling in both English and Spanish.

People come to therapy when the pain that they are feeling becomes unmanageable and can no longer be ignored. I have worked with men and women, helping them to discover and understand how they have repeated and become "stuck" in non-productive patterns with the most important people in their lives. Couples often say, they continue to have the same fights, over and over and never realize what they are really fighting about or come to a resolution.

"Time and again you have shown me unyielding patience and compassion, allowing me to experience what's possible in connection with others, and help me discover new parts of myself that I've integrated over time." - L. H.

"I work with adults, children and adolescents. I often work with relationship, marital and family issues. I help couples with communication issues and provide ideas to work on outside of the session. Children often see me for stress management techniques to utilize at school and home; and I teach them techniques to help increase focus and concentration."

I specialize in psychological testing for individuals ages 6 and up. Psychological testing can aid in diagnostic clarification (cognitive, ADHD, mood and personality issues) help inform treatment plans and provide the clients a better understanding of what is going on. I would be honored to help you and/or your loved ones through their journey to better mental health.

If you feel stressed, unhappy in your relationships or job, frequently anxious, or alone, having a safe, confidential space to process and gain perspective can open up new possibilities. I offer a non-judgmental space for my clients to feel supported and understood, while gaining the insight they need to make changes and feel empowered in their lives.

I work with clients who are ready for change and are eager to honestly examine their lives-- clients who are ready to explore issues which have generated disappointments, resentments, loneliness, pain, anger, or heartache. Life is hard, and at times we all need someone who will see us, hear us, and help us explore who we are and why we do the things we do. My approach is primarily psychodynamic and it is highly influenced by object relations and attachment theory. I believe our work is a collaborative effort. I provide a compassionate, engaging and respectful environment for clients.

I work with people who want to move from emotional pain, conflict or confusion toward more happiness, peace and passion in their life, work, and relationships. Together, we'll learn to observe repeating life patterns and examine how the past might be influencing your present and future. Our work together can also help you discover and strengthen the creative, emotional, and intuitive resources that can lead you toward more passionate, fulfilling life.

We often find ourselves repeating patterns in our thoughts and our ways of relating that keep us stuck and unable to move forward in life, preventing us from fully experiencing all that we would like. Past relationships and early experiences impact our current perceptions of our self, others, and the world. Therapy provides an opportunity to gain insight and understanding, as well as a space to explore and work through these patterns and places in life in the hope of gaining a greater sense of freedom and aliveness.

My style is down-to-earth, direct, and personal. This type of therapy aims to change both our outward struggles and behaviors that can seem baffling and distressing while understanding the issues that underlie them. These deeper forces - hidden from view and rooted in our past and early relationships - can result in the greatest difficulty, and cause us to feel stuck, confused, empty, or out of control. Having the involvement and perspective of another person can help alleviate pain, shift old patterns, recover from difficulties, and lead to lasting change.

I am a licensed therapist with a Masters in Social Work. My degree has given me the fundamentals necessary to embark on the journey of becoming a licensed mental health therapist. It has helped me learn to identify what people think and how they react to different situations. It also helped me to recognize the appropriate way of dealing with people and helping them without making them feel uncomfortable. Making sure my client’s understand their own problems properly while involving them in preparation for a plan of action is a goal I as a therapist strive for.

NOTE: Insurance not accepted. Even if scrolling through therapist profiles is as far as you get today, you’ve taken a step in bettering your relationship and yourself. Are you tired of the same cycle? Do you feel alone in your relationship? Maybe you’re on the brink of divorce, unsure if you or your spouse even want to try to make it work.

Or like your spouse just doesn’t get it, no matter how many times you’ve tried to explain? Whatever the issue, it will keep recurring time and again unless we do the work to change.
