Finding someone who truly recognizes the unique nature of your struggles can be challenging. I believe that effective therapy must be tailored to the individual as there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all method of counseling. My approach recognizes that the strength of the therapeutic bond is a prerequisite for meaningful change to occur. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, interpersonal strife, or trauma, I will take every effort to make you feel safe, supported, and heard.

It is perhaps the only venue where we can speak about pretty much anything... not just deep dark problems, "issues", unpleasant events, mental disorders or illnesses, but potentials, dreams, a life in which you have more choices available to you, and more ways of pursuing them alone and in relationship with others.

Whether children, adolescents, or adults, we all have life challenges that need to be addressed: from the difficulties of navigating family requirements, needs, and dynamics to the stress associated with succeeding at school, work, or other areas. These can bring on depression, anxiety, acting out behaviors, relationship troubles and loss issues. Other times, we face challenges of our own making and need to learn how to adjust our behaviors and thought patterns. Sometimes, we just need to learn how to handle changes we were not expecting, or those we've been hoping not to have to face.

By shining the light of awareness on that which is unknown, you are on the path to personal growth and unlocking your innate potential. Do you feel stuck and overwhelmed? Do you desire balance within your own being? Or as if you are merely existing rather than living the life you truly wish? Taking the first step and reaching out for help is truly an exercise in courage.

At some point, we have all experiences, challenges or life altering experiences that will have the ability to change our trajectory, bring us to a cross road or that will challenge our core beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Through my work with individuals, families and couples I have enjoyed helping others to navigate these obstacles in order to transform these adverse experiences into opportunities of growth.

Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists

What type of therapy is best for narcissistic personality disorder?

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is best treated with talk therapy, which could involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, gestalt therapy, or similar approaches. A therapist will help a patient uncover the feelings that may drive their behavior and discover how to engage with themselves and those around them with greater empathy and understanding, fewer demands, and less defensiveness, with the goal of developing a more authentic sense of self that enables healthier relationships.

How do therapists treat NPD?

By developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and continually focusing patients on relationships, community, and connection, a therapist, through talk therapy, may be able to help someone with NPD change. In sessions, a therapist will help an individual achieve relief from their current stressors, including the treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. A therapist may also help an individual to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms, learn new ways of interacting with others, and eventually become able to feel and display empathy.

Can a narcissist be cured with therapy?

Therapy can be effective. After a serious setback or great loss, someone with NPD may be forced to recognize that they are not immune to life’s challenges. That can spur feelings of melancholy and depression that lead them to seek professional help. Once an individual decides to seek help, they have already taken a step that the majority of those with NPD never will. Still, people with NPD often quit therapy as they naturally resist feeling vulnerable, being challenged, or admitting to flaws.

How can you get narcissistic personality disorder treatment for someone?

It is notoriously difficult to convince someone with NPD to seek help. With their feelings of superiority, they may be unlikely to recognize or acknowledge that they have a problem, or that their problem is narcissism. Sometimes, they are aware that they are arrogant and that others resent them but they don’t see it as a problem because they are convinced of their superiority. People with NPD have trouble maintaining relationships, but family members and others who do feel close to them, and whose presence they value, may be able to encourage them to seek therapy.
