National and International Therapists are Here to Help Adult Children of Narcissistic Parents

National and International Therapist Registry
I am delighted to present therapists who have joined my referral network. Each of these individuals have expressed an interest in becoming a part of the healing journey for adult children of narcissistic parents. If you don’t see therapists in your area, continue to watch this page as I will be adding to the list on a regular basis as we train more therapists.
Please note, the highest level of training we offer is the ACNP (adult children narcissistic parents) Certification Program. This program offers training in my 5-step recovery program, which is designed to treat adult children of narcissistic parents and their families.
While I cannot personally endorse specific therapists, these licensed clinicians are not only trained in the 5-step recovery model, but have also provided current credentials and resumes. It is still your responsibility to interview the therapists first in order to make a sound decision for yourself.
If you are pursuing therapy as an adult child of parental narcissism, you have come to the right place! It is helpful to take the virtual workshop to learn about my signature 5-step recovery program with all the journaling exercises for each step. Then you can work these steps with your therapist! Check it out here!
If you are a therapist and are interested in appearing on this referral network, please email Dr. McBride personally at karyl@drmcbride.com.
