Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Mexico, MO

I am licensed in Missouri with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Negative events, unhealthy relationship patterns, self-destructive behaviors and an overall sense of feeling "stuck" can hold you back. Through customized and collaborative therapy, we will explore current issues of concern and relevant past experiences to help put the missing pieces of the puzzle back together for a happier, healthier you. The overall plan is to work together towards your goals with honesty, vulnerability and commitment.

My name is Lacey, and I am so glad you're here. I specialize in assisting people who are struggling with emotional distress, difficulty coping with daily life, stressful relationships, and pivotal moments. Are you wondering how to take the next steps in your life, questioning how you got where you are now? Are you ready to examine your life on a deeper level and make changes, or get more comfortable with who you already are? Are you longing for a person and space to explore any and all of yourself and your life with a supportive and objective person to help guide you through? If so, I look forward to starting our journey together.

If you have been in relationship with a person with narcissistic traits or feel like you are in a toxic relationship, I understand the confusion, pain, fear, and self-doubt you may be feeling. I am a Christian therapist with training in grief, trauma and narcissistic abuse and want to assure you that you are not crazy.

Every individual possesses inherent worth and dignity. I am excited to know you and believe that your life has unique value and purpose. I strive to foster safe, trusting relationships where healing can take place. I enjoy working with adults and teens. I welcome those experiencing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, disordered eating, grief and loss, relational conflict, and trauma. I also enjoy working with borderline personality disorder and people recovering from narcissistic personality disorder abuse.

I have learned that no one is immune to mental health stress, trauma, OR substance abuse. Most really can find recovery and wellness. In 2000, I began my career providing counseling services in a treatment center and have continued to specialize in coping methods vs. "using." Relationships are sacred. I work with all arrangements of families (CNM & polyamory). Expert family/couples counseling requires expert training. The Gottman Method is taught in three levels and I completed all three in 2017. My intensive couples approach is successful in improving communication and provides many tools and results in a reasonable time frame.

Hi! I'm Linda Etim and I specialize in working with women and men who are in toxic or abusive/predatory relationships.

As well I work with those experiencing work related stress, racial injustice and everyday life stressors. All of the above issues can threaten your physical and emotional wellbeing. I prescribe techniques that will help you to manage your symptoms while at the same time achieving overall wellness.

Change does not occur by magic but through courage. You may want to change by tomorrow or you just may want to window shop what change might look like in your life. Wherever you are at in process of change I can collaborate with you on the goals that you wish to achieve.

As a scientist that has worked for a decade in drug metabolism research, both in Italy and the US, I always attempt to utilize evidence based interventions with my clients. When dealing with 'softer' sciences surrounding the mental health field, the best course of treatment is often difficult to ascertain. I strive to provide a collaborative, empirical, transparent process which adopts the best evidence based approaches to your unique, personal treatment needs. I am looking forward to rolling up my sleeves and working with you!

My counseling philosophy is person centered, holistic and existential. I believe that - Life is a process of moving towards wholeness.... Our brokenness is the basic human dlemma and each person's story is unique... It is because of this uniqueness that we all encounter different paths.... Empowering clients and helping them to move forward involves many paths also - from cogntive, behavioral, solution focused, humanistic, psychodynamic to marriage & family therapy ... and all are essential in meeting the client "where they are" and helping them to move forward.

People look for counselors/therapists/life coach for all reasons. I work with clients with a variety of backgrounds and issues to help them reach goals or navigate through transitions in a therapeutic supportive way. I work with clients who are of middle school age through adulthood including Seniors. I work with individuals, couples and families. From depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, communication problems, women's and men's health specific related issues to general support, I have worked with and helped many people over the years. Throughout Life we often need a professional to help us achieve our very best.

Everyone needs help sometimes. We use the resources, strategies, and supports that we have to work through the difficult times in life, but can reach the point where we need something more to face the challenges that we're up against. If you have reached a point where the burden has become too great, know that you're not alone. My goal is to walk with you, offering hope, healing and strategies to face the challenges that you’re up against. You are worthy of more, and there is no better time to seek help.

What I have found in my 20 years of experience in practicing, teaching and publishing in the field of therapy is that I learn something new from every client that I treat. The goal of therapy, in my opinion, is to provide enough emotional safety for clients to examine their lives and create a narrative that allows for growth and connection.

Ready for a change? Trust me, I get it... Life is not always easy and never seems to go the way you planned. Not to mention, taking care of your mental health can be difficult for so many reasons. Maybe you have been stuck for a long time and are afraid to ask for help. Maybe you have a full plate dealing with all of life's responsibilities, with not enough time in the day. Or maybe you just don’t know where to start. Take comfort in knowing that you are not alone! Let’s talk about it and figure this thing out together.

"Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways." I enjoy working who are struggling to cope, adjust or heal from anxiety, depression, trauma, personality and/or family issues. I use a broad range of theory in practice to address client concerns and moving them into wellness.

People think you have it all together, but inside it feels like you're losing control. You can’t stay focused. Simple tasks that used to be easy feel overwhelming and you're avoiding them completely. You feel disconnected from the people around you, and you feel a constant underlying dread. You want to be easy-going and caring, but you're impatient and irritable. You want to be sociable and fun, but you're withdrawn and apathetic. Despite how competent you may seem to others, the fear of being exposed as a fraud looms over you constantly. You’re hanging on by a thread and it's only getting worse.

I went into the field of psychology because I love helping people transform to the best version of themselves. We all need a safe place to understand ourselves and how we relate to others/self. I often say "We need to be Mindful of our Total-Well Being and that our minds and our bodies are an inter-connected systems. Where the mind goes, so does the man or woman in their actions and body states. We go to the physician for our physical health, so how much healthier would we be if we went to our psychologist for our mental health?" At heart, I am a holistic practitioner and love seeing my clients Thrive.

We all want to feel connected in this world. Unfortunately, most of us look in the wrong places for comfort. Things, substances, and even other people become escapes from the pain of this life. Helping people recognize what is holding them back is the goal of my practice. In our sessions, we will focus upon your needs as an individual. No two people deal with their problems exactly the same. Habits, patterns, thinking errors often cloud our judgement. Helping you figure out what you want in life and how best to achieve it will be the aim of our time together.

You know those times when we feel lost inside ourselves, overwhelmed by our problems, and struggle to cope? If you are reading this, you may be considering therapy to get you closer to solving those problems. Whether your therapy goals are vague or well-defined, I can help you through this process of change. Together, we will formulate a plan, using the appropriate psychotherapeutic treatments, to achieve your personal goals. Because your time is important to you, we will begin creating this plan at your first visit!
