About Our Practice

When a survivor of narcissistic abuse finally makes the decision to talk to a professional about what they have gone through, they want to know they are choosing someone who gets it. They want to know that not only is that person educated in narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder, they want to know that that person has experienced what it’s like to live with, love, and be the whipping post for a narcissistic abuser. This is exactly what you will get at Phoenix Counseling and Trauma Treatment Center, LLC.
W. Mae Kent holds a Master’s degree in Social Work and is a Certified Clinician Trauma Professional. Having been in a decades long marriage to someone with undiagnosed covert NPD, she knows first hand what it feels like to wake up one day and realize that you never knew the man you are married to. That the life you have been living is a lie. To realize the everything you believed to be true, isn’t.
Discovering and accepting the truth, that your partner has NPD, is incapable of loving you or anyone else, and they cannot change, is earth shattering and completely disorienting.
To make matters worse, when you try to explain to others what you’ve been through, you run the risk of looking like the “crazy” one. Or, you may get the polite response, “Oh, that’s too bad.”
Few people understand what you’ve been through, why you feel like a basket case, why you are having such a difficult time getting over it. The sad fact is, narcissistic abuse is one of those insidious things that if you haven’t experienced it yourself, you will never completely understand it.
At Phoenix Counseling and Trauma Treatment Center, we do get it. We can empathize with what you are feeling and understand your symptoms. We can educate you on narcissism because we’ve educated ourselves on all aspects of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Narcissistic ]Abuse Syndrome.
