Book an appointment with Barbara Duchnowski, LCSW, Counseling & Therapy,

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and certified narcissistic abuse recovery clinician with over 25 years of experience helping adults heal from emotionally abusive, controlling, and invalidating relationships. My work is especially focused on individuals recovering from narcissistic partners, chronic relational trauma, and the loss of self that can happen when you’ve spent years putting others first.

I offer a grounded, validating, and trauma-informed approach. Clients often come to me feeling confused, depleted, or questioning their reality—and together we work to restore clarity, confidence, and emotional safety. I integrate EMDR, relational trauma therapy, and practical tools to help you break trauma bonds, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with your sense of self.

I believe therapy should feel supportive but also empowering. I’m direct when needed, deeply attuned, and committed to helping you move forward—not just understand what happened, but truly heal from it.
