You're Not Imagining It, And You're Not Alone
If you've been involved with someone with narcissistic traits, whether a family member, a parent, romantic partner, colleague, or going through a divorce or coparenting—you know the profound sense of confusion, exhaustion, and self-doubt that follows you everywhere. Being in a relationship with someone who is constantly manipulative, emotionally draining, or makes you feel invisible is like walking on eggshells every single day. You're left feeling anxious, deeply wounded, and questioning your own reality. The worst part? You might wonder if you're overreacting or making too big a deal out of it. You're not. These experiences cause significant emotional distress that often requires specialized support far beyond typical individual counseling.
At Between Us Counseling in Massachusetts, we offer specialized narcissist survival counseling focused entirely on victims and survivors of emotional abuse and control. We understand the specific psychological effects of narcissistic abuse... the gaslighting, the manipulation, the erosion of your sense of self, and we're here to provide a non-judgmental, safe space where your story is validated and believed. Our licensed therapists are committed to ethical practice and helping you move away from the confusion and toward genuine clarity, confidence, and healing.
You've spent so long doubting yourself. It's time to trust what you know and start rebuilding. Start Your Healing Journey.
When Someone Else's Behavior Has Taken Over Your Life
Our counseling addresses the specific, complex issues faced by individuals seeking therapy for dealing with narcissists. You might need our help if you're struggling with intense self-doubt, constantly questioning your own reality (often called gaslighting), or feeling isolated and unable to trust your own judgment or perceptions. Maybe you feel like you're going crazy, or you've been told repeatedly that you're "too sensitive" or "making things up." Surviving this type of relationship often creates symptoms that require trauma counseling alongside significant work on anxiety and depression.
We focus on helping you establish healthy boundaries and develop clear, practical coping strategies for dealing with narcissists, whether you need to manage an ongoing situation or are working through the aftermath of separation and divorce. Our sessions guide you through the process of narcissistic abuse recovery, helping you grieve the loss of the relationship you hoped for (not the one that actually existed) and identify the red flags of toxic dynamics so you can protect yourself going forward. This specialized work helps survivors move beyond the emotional aftermath and rebuild their lives with genuine strength, clarity, and self-respect.
Reach out today to start reclaiming your sense of self and your peace of mind.
Specialized Care That Understands What You've Been Through
We provide highly focused, specialized support for narcissistic abuse recovery through our unique approach to care. Our holistic recovery from narcissistic abuse utilizes established therapy methods for narcissistic abuse, including trauma-informed CBT and DBT techniques, to help stabilize your emotions and address the complex psychological effects you're experiencing. We believe in a clinical and compassionate model that prioritizes your safety, validation, and healing above everything else, no one will question your experience here.
A key part of our focus is helping you rebuild your identity, especially if the abuse impacted your career, professional confidence, or personal ambitions. Many survivors of narcissistic abuse find that the manipulation extended into their work life or caused them to doubt their capabilities and worth in professional settings. We address this directly through our specialized focus on career and life transitions, helping you reclaim not just your personal life but your professional confidence as well.
We also prioritize accessibility through financial transparency and flexible care options. We accept major insurance carriers like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and United Healthcare, and we offer both in-person sessions at our safe Stoneham office and convenient online counseling for narcissistic abuse from anywhere in Massachusetts. This flexibility makes it easier to receive help for victims of narcissistic abuse without adding more stress to an already difficult situation. Schedule your consultation and take the first step toward freedom. Begin Your Recovery.
What Freedom From Manipulation Actually Feels Like
The most profound result of therapy for dealing with narcissists is the sense of clarity and empowerment you finally gain. Our clients often share that they feel their truth is genuinely recognized and their experience is validated in a safe space, often for the first time in years. The emotional outcomes include a massive reduction in anxiety, restored self-worth, and the ability to confidently set boundaries without guilt or second-guessing yourself.
Clients leave sessions with the peace of mind that comes from knowing how to protect themselves and move forward with dignity. You'll learn to focus on self-care after narcissistic abuse, rebuild your confidence, and trust yourself again. Most importantly, you'll stop questioning whether your experience was "real" or "bad enough", because it was, and you deserve support.
