Consultations - Nationwide

Narcissistic Relationship Consultation

Are you questioning whether you’re dealing with narcissistic or high-conflict behavior in a relationship? This focused consultation helps you identify patterns such as manipulation, gaslighting, coercive control, trauma bonding, boundary violations, and emotional abuse. We’ll discuss what you’re experiencing and practical next steps for protecting your emotional well-being.

Narcissistic Parent & Adult Child Consultation

Growing up with a narcissistic, emotionally immature, or high-conflict parent can affect boundaries, relationships, self-trust, and identity well into adulthood. This consultation helps you better understand family dynamics, recognize unhealthy patterns, and explore strategies for boundaries, limited contact, no contact, and healing.

Divorce & High-Conflict Relationship Consultation

Leaving or divorcing a high-conflict or narcissistic partner can bring confusion, manipulation, guilt, and ongoing conflict. This consultation provides education and strategic support for understanding relationship dynamics, strengthening boundaries, preparing for difficult interactions, and making more informed personal decisions. This service does not provide legal advice.

Workplace & Professional Dynamics Consultation

Dealing with manipulation, bullying, gaslighting, or high-conflict personalities at work can leave you questioning yourself and unsure how to respond. This consultation helps you identify problematic interpersonal patterns, strengthen communication and boundaries, and develop practical strategies for navigating difficult professional environments.

Clarity Consultation

Sometimes you know something isn’t right—you just can’t quite name it. This focused consultation gives you space to talk through a confusing relationship or situation, identify patterns you may be missing, and leave with greater clarity and practical next steps. No diagnosis or ongoing services are required.

Investment

$250/ 60 minutes


Please Note: Nationwide consultations are educational and consultative in nature and are not psychotherapy, psychological testing, or a clinical diagnosis. Clinical services are available to eligible North Carolina residents.
