Not all counselors or therapists are equipped to address the unique challenges of narcissistic abuse. Some may dismiss your concerns, avoid discussing narcissism, or offer exercises that feel unhelpful or disconnected from your experience. Finding someone who truly understands the dynamics of narcissistic behavior—and how it has affected you—is essential for real healing. This list is designed to help you connect with professionals who are ready to listen, validate your experiences, and provide guidance and support tailored to your journey of recovery.

​

​Alternatively, if you don’t find someone from the list below who feels like the right fit, you can explore additional options by visiting Psychology Today’s therapist directory and filtering results by your state and the “Narcissistic Personality (NPD)” specialty. You can also narrow results to include telehealth providers or therapists experienced with trauma recovery, emotional abuse, or codependency to find the most supportive match for your needs.
