Hi, I'm Torie Wiksell

Founder of Confident Boundaries

I'm a psychotherapist and coach with nearly 12 years of experience in the mental health field and I specialize in working with the adult children of parents with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).

This is My Own Story as An Adult Child of a Borderline Parent

I understand how complicated and layered these relationships are because I grew up with a mother who had some fun (sarcasm) combination of borderline and narcissistic personality disorders. So, when I say I completely understand what a shitshow that type of relationship can be, I mean it.

I’ve also spent the majority of my career as a psychotherapist working with clients with personality disorders, their family members, and partners. And, I now work exclusively with the adult children of parents who have borderline and narcissistic personality disorders as both a therapist and coach. 

It's my passion to help other adults break the cycle of trauma and abuse in their families and create happier, healthier lives for themselves. Which is how I created Confident Boundaries in early 2024. 

It's not easy to find information, support, and connection as an adult who is trying to understand, cope with, and heal from their relationship with a BPD or NPD parent. And, there are so many people like you and me out there- people who recognize their unhealthy dynamics in their family and want to learn how to approach these challenges in healthy ways.

Confident Boundaries is my attempt at doing something to help fill that gap. Whether you’re looking for validation, community, or a step-by-step plan to set boundaries you’re in the right place.

I’m thrilled to be a small part of your journey. I promise you- you can do this!
