Therapy for Adult Children of Narcissistic Parents
Online in California, New York, & Texas

People often experience you as capable, accomplished, and self-possessed.
You are used to being the competent one — the steady one — the one who handles things.

And yet, privately, there may be a persistent sense of fragility, emptiness, or self-doubt that feels difficult to explain.

​

Many adult children of narcissistic parents grew up in environments where a parent’s emotional needs eclipsed their own. Adaptation was necessary. You may have learned to anticipate, perform, minimize, or self-abandon in order to maintain connection or stability.

​

These early relational dynamics do not simply disappear in adulthood. They often shape identity, attachment, boundaries, and self-worth in ways that are subtle but powerful.

​

Therapy offers a space to examine these patterns carefully — not to assign blame, but to understand how they formed and how they continue to operate. With clarity and support, it becomes possible to develop a more stable internal sense of self and to relate differently to others.
