Bree Bonchay, LCSW International authority on narcissistic abuse, relational trauma & C-PTSD. Founder of WNADD.
Texas & California
US & International clients
Many individuals find themselves trapped in repetitive, unhealthy relationship patterns, even when they recognize the red flags and strive to establish healthier boundaries. This all-too-common experience often results in frustration and emotional distress. My work is dedicated to helping individuals break free, heal, and build a life grounded in awareness, empowerment and well-being.
I am deeply passionate about supporting survivors of narcissistic abuse and toxic relationships as they heal, grow, and redefine their lives. As a recognized authority in this field, my mission is to raise awareness, empower survivors, and guide transformative recovery through compassionate, evidence-based support.
Founder of World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day (WNAAD)
In 2016, I established World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day (WNAAD), celebrated annually on June 1st. WNAAD has grown into a global movement, shining a spotlight on this often-misunderstood form of abuse. It provides survivors with a voice, a sense of community, and resources for recovery, fostering education and awareness on an international scale.
Therapist Specializing in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have a private practice specializing in helping clients overcome narcissistic abuse, relational trauma, and complex relationship challenges. Utilizing evidence-based approaches, brain-based techniques, and somatic modalities, I support clients in achieving profound and lasting healing.
Author, Speaker, and Advocate
Author of the first anthology of its kind, "I Am Free: Surviving Toxic Relationships with Narcissists and Sociopaths. Host and founder of annual summits that unite survivors for education, connection, and empowerment.
Guest expert featured on leading podcasts and media platforms dedicated to mental health and personal growth.
Building Community & Spreading Awareness
Through an active and vibrant social media presence, particularly on Facebook, I educate and support survivors with practical tools, insights, and encouragement. Whether through summits, speaking engagements, or virtual resources, my focus is on equipping individuals affected by narcissistic abuse/ relational trauma with the knowledge and strength they need to reclaim their lives.
My goal is to work collaboratively with you to help you achieve your goals. The collaborative process is about participating in conversations that open up possibilities, new meanings, and ideas to help you find your own ways forward when advice is not enough. In addition, I'll share ideas, strategies, and evidenced-based techniques, and teach you practical tools that you’ll find helpful.
My career experience includes work in a variety of settings from clinical outpatient, working with adults, children, and families, inpatient behavioral health, managed care, and medical hospital. I also have expertise in narcissism, pathological relationship dynamics, and narcissistic abuse in all forms and in all types of relationships.
I focus on helping individuals and couples build a repertoire of strategies to manage their distressful symptoms, identify learned patterns, unhelpful ways of thinking, rewire their brains, reprocess trauma, and access their strengths and use them as leverage to work through their upsetting events, fears, anxiety, and blind spots.
I use an integrative combination of brain and body-based methods which include Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Trauma-informed, Mindfulness Therapy, Schema Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), that research has shown to be effective.
Through our work together, my clients gain deeper insight and awareness, so they can get ‘unstuck’, and lead happier and intentioned lives, and build deeper and more fulfilling connections.
