Barbara Duchnowski
LCSW, Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician
Barbara Duchnowski, LCSW, is a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Specialist, EMDR therapist, and clinical hypnotist. She is also a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician through Dr. Ramani’s certification program and a survivor of narcissistic abuse.
Barbara specializes in the longer-term psychological and nervous system impact of emotional abuse and coercive control, the patterns that often remain long after someone has left the relationship and understands what happened. Drawing on both lived experience and clinical training, she helps survivors move beyond intellectual insight into lasting recovery by addressing how trauma lives in the body and nervous system.
In her work, Barbara integrates EMDR and clinical hypnosis to support deeper healing, helping people quiet residual fear responses, rebuild self-trust, and reclaim a stable sense of self. She is the founder of New Leaf Psychotherapy and the Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Center of New Jersey.
