Helping Survivors of Narcissistic Abuse
Our experience working with survivors of narcissistic abuse enables us to provide effective, individualized and compassionate care for the most insidious type of abuse a person can be exposed to. We educate our clients on all facets of narcissism, narcissistic personality disorder, and abuse while helping them to make sense of their experience and empower them to move forward with their lives.
Treatment Focus
We strive to help narcissistic abuse survivors understand the who, what, where, when, how, and WHY of their relationship. This is achieved by building an empathic relationship with you, validating your experience, and customizing a treatment plan based on your unique concerns and goals.

PTSD & Trauma
Make no mistake, narcissistic abuse is traumatizing and can lead to narcissistic abuse syndrome, a plethora of signs and symptoms that you may or may not be aware of. These can include second guessing yourself, fear of making a mistake, loss of confidence, poor self-esteem, brain fog, migraine headaches, sleep problems, fibromyalgia, GERD, diverticulitis, ulcers, even cancer. While narcissistic abuse syndrome is not yet recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the effects of narcissistic abuse are very real. Many survivors are diagnosed with complex PTSD, adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depression, or Major Depressive Disorder. We can help you with the symptoms caused by narcissistic abuse and guide you through the healing process.
Physical, Emotional & Sexual Abuse
Narcissistic abuse IS domestic violence and it can take many forms: physical assaults, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse. Every situation is different and the damage can last a lifetime, especially if left untreated. Narcissistic abuse can effect your ability to trust and feel safe in the world, as well as cause problems in future relationships. With therapy you can repair the damage caused to your self-esteem, gain a new perspective on relationships, and restore peace and normalcy to your life.
Grief & Loss Counseling
The sense of grief and loss experienced by survivors of narcissistic abuse is one of the most profound any human being will ever suffer. It changes everything - how you see yourself, how you see your partner, how you see the past, the future, your LIFE! It can turn your life upside down and force you to change and grow in ways you may never even imagined. Yet sometimes, survivors resort to dysfunctional behaviors to deal with the disappointment and dull the pain such as alcohol, drugs, excessive shopping, or gambling, etc. Some even consider suicide when they recognize these truths: they never knew the person they gave their heart to; the person they love so dearly isn’t capable of loving them back. Yes, you will cry. You will mourn what you thought was real, but wasn’t. You’ll mourn the loss of the future you envisioned. But even as great as these losses are, all is not lost. You will survive this. Not only will you survive, in time you will thrive. And we are here to help you do just that.
