Our Owner/Clinical Director, Tony Nichols, completed a NICABM training recently:

Expert Strategies for Treating Narcissism

The training was helpful in that it highlighted an understanding of someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder as an individual who toggles back and forth internally and sometimes externally from shame and grandiosity. Typically the individual has experienced childhood abuse or neglect and this dynamic is what manifested as a maladaptive defense mechanism. Treatment can help reduce symptoms with the anguish they experience and help them develop healthier relationships.

The training included several leading practitioners in our field:

Deany Laliotis, LICSW
Stan Tatkin, Psy.D
Bessel Van der Kolk, M.D.
Peter Levine, Ph.D
Stephen Porges, Ph.D
