Jessica Payne is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP) who specializes in complex trauma recovery and healing from abusive relationships.

Disclaimer:
While I specialize in helping individuals recover from emotionally abusive relationships — particularly those involving individuals who exhibit traits commonly associated with the dark triad (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) — I do not diagnose anyone I have not personally assessed. This includes clients’ partners, parents, supervisors, or any other third party.
I believe that psychoeducation about dark triad traits, narcissistic abuse, and relationship power dynamics can be empowering and validating for survivors. I also trust my clients to be the experts of their own lived experiences. However, it is important to note that narcissism as a personality trait exists on a spectrum and is distinct from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), which is a formal mental health diagnosis requiring comprehensive clinical evaluation.
As such, while I may provide psychoeducation about the dark triad, narcissistic traits, or abuse dynamics to support understanding and healing, I do not confirm or assign diagnoses to individuals I have not directly evaluated.
