My current therapist actually really knows her stuff. I had to look for someone who specializes in personality disorders, it was worth the searching I did. But before I let her work with me I interviewed her extensively to make sure we were a good fit before I started potentially wasting my time/money.
Funny you wrote that you don't want to tell a potential therapist about your NPD... I used that tactic with my current therapist and it was damn effective. It worked so yeah if you want to try that tactic and know you can pull it off(I know you can, you're smart), then I say go for it! Totally worked for me!
I've had a slew of bad therapists who just didn't want to do their jobs and totally wasted my time. Incompetence rules in psychiatry/psychology (HA HA HA) but competent therapists and psychiatrists exist. You just have to dig for awhile to find them.
