Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In assisting patients dealing with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), as well as their loved ones affected by it, I provide compassionate support and practical strategies to navigate the complexities of these relationships. Through therapy, we explore the impact of NPD on both the individual with the disorder and their loved ones, including the challenges in communication, emotional dynamics, and boundary-setting. I offer psychoeducation about NPD, helping patients and their loved ones understand the underlying traits and behaviors associated with the disorder. Additionally, we work on developing coping skills, assertiveness techniques, and self-care strategies to manage the effects of NPD on relationships and promote emotional well-being. The goal is to empower patients and their loved ones to set healthy boundaries, foster resilience, and navigate these relationships with greater understanding and compassion.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) can impact someone's life in various ways, especially concerning addictions, relationship challenges, or depression. In other words, imagine someone who constantly seeks admiration and lacks empathy for others. This behavior may strain their relationships, leading to conflicts and loneliness. Moreover, they might turn to addictive substances or behaviors to cope with feelings of inadequacy or emptiness. As a therapist specializing in these issues, I would focus on helping them understand the impact of their actions on themselves and others. We'd work on developing empathy, improving communication skills, and finding healthier coping mechanisms to foster more fulfilling relationships and manage difficult emotions.
