When Love Hurts: Therapy for Partners of Narcissists
Online therapy for adults in Colorado, Washington, Oregon, New York, and Florida
The charm, the blame, the slow unraveling of your self-worth
It’s hard to explain what’s happening behind closed doors. You’re criticized, dismissed, or manipulated so often that you’ve started to question your own reality. One moment you’re being mocked or blamed—the next, you're met with charm or affection, like nothing ever happened.
You find yourself walking on eggshells, constantly adjusting to their moods and wondering if your needs even matter. You might think, “Is it me? Am I overreacting?” The confusion runs deep—and the longer it goes on, the harder it is to trust yourself.
Whether you’re still in the relationship, preparing to leave, or trying to recover from the aftermath, you feel isolated, exhausted, and unsure of what’s real anymore.
You're not alone—and you're not imagining it. Therapy can help you untangle the manipulation, reclaim your voice, and begin to rebuild your sense of clarity, confidence, and calm.
Sorting Through the Confusion
These antagonistic relationships erode your sense of self over time. The constant push-pull, the shame, the fear—it can leave you depleted and questioning everything. In therapy, we’ll slow things down. We’ll look at what’s really happening—without judgment—and start untangling the patterns and what is really happening.
You’ll learn how the relationship affects your nervous system and why it’s been so hard to understand. We’ll also explore your own internal beliefs, codependency patterns, and how to make empowered decisions that work for you—whether that means staying, leaving, or navigating post-separation challenges.
Reclaiming Your Voice and Power
Therapy can help you move from confusion to clarity. You’ll start feeling safe in your own body again—stronger, clearer, and more grounded in who you are.
You'll learn how to set and hold boundaries, make choices that reflect your values, and rebuild your self-trust. Over time, you’ll stop second-guessing yourself, feel more confident in your decisions, and start to envision a life that actually feels like yours.
You’ll discover your own voice again—and use it to create safety, connection, and a future rooted in strength, not survival.
Take the First Step Toward Clarity and Strength
There’s nothing wrong with you for feeling stuck, confused, or emotionally exhausted. Antagonistic relationships are designed to disorient you—and breaking free from that cycle takes support. Whether you're trying to make sense of your current situation or healing from its aftermath, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
Together, we can help you feel more grounded, more clear, and more empowered to move forward—on your terms.
