"The Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Center Transforming Lives from Victims to Victors"
Monica Peterson

Monica Peterson is an inspirational speaker with an incredible message of transformation. She is also a published author of numerous articles in magazines and newspapers. She is a former freelance journalist and PR consultant. As the #NarcCoach, Monica helps women overcome abuse and transform their lives.

 As the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Center (N.A.R.C.), a 501c3 non-profit and Social Enterprise, they provide personal and professional development, one-on-one coaching, non-therapeutic spiritual counseling, and support groups.

At N.A.R.C., they focus on the Four Pillars of Health: Mental Health, Physical Health, Financial Health, and Spiritual Health, to help men, women, and youth overcome the lasting effects of narcissistic abuse. Our programs have proven highly effective in addressing these obstacles and empowering people to rebuild their lives.

Monica earned a B.A. degree in Mass Communication from Rust College (‘95), a historically black college in Mississippi. She also holds an M.B.A. from Fontbonne University (‘01) located in St. Louis, Missouri, and an M.Div. degree (Summa Cum Laude) from the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, Georgia. In addition, Monica has been an ordained minister since 2008. She also has certificates in Domestic Violence, Boundary Training, and Narcissistic Abuse. 

After recognizing she had been in an on-again-off-again abusive relationship with a narcissist for over fifteen years, Monica Peterson is now determined to bring awareness to this abuse in all forms. As a result of working with her nonprofit, women transform their lives from victims to victors through education, awareness, and prevention of narcissistic/psychological abuse, which is a rampant form of domestic violence. 

She has created workshops, seminars, programs, retreats, and conferences that help women recognize the signs of toxic relationships, build self-confidence, set healthy boundaries, and achieve their goals. Her passion for helping people - men, women, and children has led her to work with other non-profit organizations such as Mentor St. Louis - Elementary School Youth Literacy Program, Women’s Connection - Girls 5-18 Life Skills Mentoring program, and The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Clubs - Youth 6-18. Her work with My Redeemer Lives Ministry, a non-profit drug and alcohol recovery agency, led her to work with men—providing classes on spiritual life skills, managing anger, and job readiness skills. 

She has served as a minister and staff at St. Paul A.M.E. Church in St. Louis, Saint Philip A.M.E. Church in Atlanta, and she currently serves at the Embassy of Heaven located in St. Louis. Monica Peterson has provided speaking, training, education, and personal and professional development. 

In January 2021, Monica Peterson became the Founder and President of the Narcissistic Abuse Institute LLC, a for-profit research organization that is registered with SAM to conduct government contracting. 

Transforming people's lives after narcissistic abuse has become Monica L. Peterson's goal since 2017 when she founded the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Center, a 501c3 non-profit.

The mission of the Narcissistic Abuse Institute LLC is to bring awareness, education, and prevention of narcissistic abuse through study and research by providing educational support services, materials, and training.

 This year, N.A.R.C. is looking for a location for our N.A.R.C. Center to be a place of retreat for those overcoming emotional and psychological abuse. Monica and the organization are looking for an old church or school in the heart of North St. Louis. Monica proudly states “I was born and raised in North St. Louis. I went to church in North St. Louis. I worked in the old Commerce Bank on Natural Bridge and Newstead. I also worked in the Old Sears Building. I attended Sumner High School, and my mother and other relatives attended Beaumont High School. I remember Sara Louis Shrimp and Billy Burks Hamburgers. North St. Louis was a place where we had pride in ourselves. We took care of our neighbors and the children in the neighborhood. Our neighborhoods can get back to that greatness and even surpass it, but it's going to take work on everyone’s part. It is time for God's people to stand up and take back our city! It’s time to take authority of the jurisdictions God has given God’s people. My Pastor, Bishop A. Wayne Jones at Embassy of Heaven says this year is the year for us to walk in the SUPERNATURAL. “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” Zech 4:6 (KJV)
