Therapy for Healing After Narcissistic or
Emotionally Immature Relationships 

in Barrington, IL and online across Illinois

Break free from confusion, chaos, or self-doubt. 

Narcissistic, toxic, or emotionally immature relationships can leave you feeling anxious, drained, and unsure of yourself. You may walk on eggshells, over-apologize, or doubt your perceptions. You know something feels off, but naming it—or trusting that instinct—can feel difficult. 

Therapy can help you re-connect with yourself, change unhelpful patterns, and create healthier, more fulfilling connections.

What You Might Be Experiencing 

  • Pressure to keep the peace, meet shifting expectations, or earn approval

  • Unpredictable moods, emotional withdrawal, or the silent treatment

  • Feeling like nothing you do is ever enough

  • Being dismissed, blamed, or criticized

  • Withholding or weaponizing information

  • Failure to take responsibility, even for minor things 

Signs You Might Still Be Impacted

  • Guilt for setting boundaries or having needs

  • Difficulty relaxing around certain people 

  • Fear of conflict or being “too much”

  • A harsh inner critic or constant self-doubt

  • Repeating patterns in your life or relationships

  • Feeling disconnected from others or yourself 

Whether it was a parent, partner, friend, or colleague, relationships marked by manipulation, gaslighting, or blame can take a lasting toll on your confidence, boundaries and sense of self.
