This is the bread-and-butter of psychotherapy. Try Psychology Today.

Second 18:32. Also, you don't mention if the "narcissistic" diagnosis is official or not, but, regardless, these disorders typically co-occur with traits of others. So, really, what you need is not necessarily a specialist in narcissists, but a very experienced, highly-recommended therapist listed in your insurance network.

Best thing to do is just review your insurance network list of providers alongside a reputable "best" list of providers. For instance, Washingtonian provides an online list of best psychiatrists. You need a psychologist, but a "best" psychiatrist might be a good way to start - at least the psychiatrist would provide you with several recommendations of psychologists.

Lots of therapists deal with your issue, OP. I'm not sure you'll need a specialist. My advice is to go on the Psychology Today website and review profiles of therapists and see who you like, then set up a phone consult and take it from there.

I would love to find a therapist for help in dealing with my narcissistic parents. I am not interested in one who can help "build a bridge" to them or anything- I need one who understands how toxic they are, and would help me cut them off entirely and feel okay about it.

Also, and I doubt I'll be able to find this, but do any of them do therapy sessions via telephone? I have a new baby and I just can't drive out to see them.

How much do they run? Do any accept insurance?
