Therapy for Daughters of Narcissistic Parents

Empowering Women Raised by Narcissistic Parents in Rancho Cucamonga and Throughout California

You’re not crazy.

  • Do you find yourself struggling to build a life that feels truly your own—free from your family’s influence?

  • Are you constantly anticipating your parent’s needs, walking on eggshells to avoid conflict?

  • Do you apologize and make amends, even when you haven’t done anything wrong?

  • Deep down, do you still crave your parents’ acceptance, despite their hurtful behavior?

  • Are painful childhood memories weighing on your heart, making it hard to move forward?

  • And every time you put yourself first or set a boundary, does guilt quickly follow?

Maybe you haven’t labeled your parent as narcissistic.

Whatever the truth, the pain runs deep. Growing up with your parent has taught you to second-guess even the simplest decisions. You learned to put others’ needs before your own as a way to protect yourself from being labeled selfish. Perfection became your shield, because failure was never an option.

Whether you’re still in contact, maintaining low contact, or have cut ties completely, you deserve healing. Your pain is real, and you are not crazy.

You’re ready for something better

Telling yourself “it wasn’t that bad” is part of the self-blame and shame you were taught to carry. Minimizing your pain was a survival skill—one that kept you safe in a home where your feelings were never fully seen.

But you’re here now, and that means something has shifted. You’re starting to question those old beliefs. You’re beginning to wonder what life could look like if you trusted yourself, honored your boundaries, and let go of the guilt that was never yours to begin with.

Therapy can help you reconnect with your worth, build self-compassion, and set clear expectations in your relationships. Healing is possible and you don’t have to do it alone.

Balance and Boundaries Therapy can help!

As a certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician, I understand the invisible wounds you're carrying: the self-doubt, the guilt, the fear of being "too much" or "not enough." In our work together, we’ll focus on three powerful pillars:
Psychoeducation, validation, and self-trust.

You’ll gain a deep understanding of narcissism and how it shaped your inner world. You’ll learn to recognize and validate your own emotions without needing anyone else’s permission. And most importantly, you’ll begin to trust your own voice and make decisions that feel right for you.

This is the beginning of your healing. You are allowed to take up space. Let’s get started. Schedule your free consultation today.

Therapy for women raised by narcissistic parents can:

  • Find relief from anxiety rooted in childhood trauma and painful relationships

  • Release the guilt and shame you were conditioned to carry—but were never yours to begin with

  • Recognize red flags like gaslighting, coercive control, and emotional manipulation

  • Build the tools to manage or distance yourself from toxic, antagonistic, or narcissistic relationships

  • Transform your inner dialogue—so you speak to yourself with more compassion, grace, and self-respect

You’re worth it.

FAQS

  • I’ll never assess your parent(s) so we won’t know for certain. However, there are common signs of narcissistic abuse such as gaslighting, isolation, manipulation, and coercive control (physically, financially, emotionally, etc.). Therapy focuses more on validating your experiences, developing self-compassion, and setting clear boundaries for yourself.

  • Healing takes time. It’s common for women of narcissistic parents to be in therapy for a few years. Unlearning shame and fostering confidence in yourself after years of abuse will take time.

  • We start off weekly, usually the same time and day each week. When we both have agreed you’re making and sustaining progress, we will discuss scaling down to every other week for a period of time until you’re ready to terminate therapy.
