Connect Therapy MN Welcome! I'm a therapist + coach who helps people understand and heal from their past, and their emotionally immature parent

01/14/2026

I’ll probably get a LOT of heat for this - but it’s time we STOP normalizing (and joking🤬) about the kind of parent who👇🏽

- Says you’re ‘their world’...but never calls or initiates plans
- Never asks how you’re doing or what’s going on in your life
- Can’t seem to remember basic facts about you
- Wants the photo together...without spending any real time to connect
- Wants your respect and loyalty…without earning it

Even if it’s unintentional - which I’m going to assume positive intent for the parents in this video - a child still feels:

🔺Unseen
🔺Invisible
🔺Unloved
🔺Unimportant

And that HURTS - regardless of a parent’s “good intentions”

The inability to know BASIC FACTS about their own child reflects a PATTERN of in attention, and lack of attention, curiosity and attunement…

Without these things, CONNECTION and secure attachment are at risk

Over time, this leads to more and more DISCONNECT - and possible ESTRANGEMENT- in the future

Bottom line:

This isn’t funny - It’s incredibly sad

⚡️Estrangement is never “sudden” - it’s built slowly over the years starting in CHILDHOOD

💚If you’re struggling with the effects of low effort and/or emotionally immature parenting, you’ll fit right in here:

🔆I offer virtual therapy, coaching, and support groups to help you untangle and understand this invisible but painful experience - and provide tools and strategies to move forward o it no longer controls how you see yourself, your decisions, relationships, and your life

‼️I took the bait…

I wasn’t planning on doing a reel on Oprah’s special Estrangement Trend episode - but a lot of people asked what I thought about it - so here they are

Whatever new-fangled way some emotionally immature parents call it, their INTENT is always the same:

🔺Deflect
🔺Dismiss
🔺Deny

There is NO chance of healing or reconciliation if we take the bait and argue semantics

‼️It just keeps you stuck and exacerbates your pain - because it’s literally just another way to NEGLECT you emotionally

✨If you’re stuck between “Is it me…or my parent?” - you’ll fit right in here

Hi 👋🏼 I’m Katie - a Minnesota based marriage and family therapist who helps you get the support and actual TOOLS to unpack and move forward from the painful impact of emotionally immature parenting so you can:

- Stop second-guessing yourself
- Set boundaries that actually work
- Confidently dodge their emotional drama
- Finally get to know - and understand - yourself
- Make decisions that reflect YOU, not what your parent needs you to be

✨If this sounds like what you want more of this year, the Support Group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents would be a great first step

We start Feb. 3, 2026; spots are limited to 8

👉🏽Comment “START” to learn more and save your spot

Not ready for a group? I get it! I also offer individual/couple/family therapy and coaching services

Regardless of what healing path you choose, you will not have to figure this out alone

🤔How long do you think it would be before the parent got fed up and STOPPED talking to their child?

When these responses are a parent’s NORM - which is often the case with emotionally immature parents - DISTANCE is the inevitable outcome

That’s why estrangement is rarely sudden…

They grow out of THOUSANDS of small moments that ADD UP to the child believing:

🔺”I’m not welcome here as I am.”
🔺”I don’t matter.”
🔺”I’m all alone”

You weren’t “difficult” or a “burden” - you were emotionally neglected

And it wasn’t your fault

It’s also not something you have to stay stuck in forever - rewiring old patterns and managing your difficult relationship with your parents with clarity and confidence is POSSIBLE

If you want 2026 to feel less stressful and reflect more of what YOU actually want for a change:

💚I offer virtual therapy, coaching, and support groups for adult living in Minnesota and all around the world

Because we don’t heal relational wounds in isolation - we heal through safe connections with others

🔺EIP:”I don’t have anxiety!“

Meanwhile youre phone-trapped for an hour each week listening to them talk about all the things they ‘don’t need to talk about” with a therapist -

But feel guilty if you don’t pick up the phone 👀

Sound familiar?

If you want scripts, tools, and a community that GETS IT just how difficult it is to navigate a relationship with an emotionally immature parent (EIP)⬇️

✨My Support Group for Adult Children of EIPs is a great place to start

We start the first week of Feb. 2026

‼️So many adults NEVER got to be a kid 👇🏽

Instead, they they were their parent’s:

🔺Emotional support
🔺Mediator
🔺Confidant
🔺Unpaid therapist

This isn’t maturity

It’s survival

And healing is learning that you don’t have to keep playing that role to be worthy of love

✨ If you’re DONE being your emotionally immature parents’ unpaid therapist, you’re in the right place

I offer Therapy, Coaching and Support Groups to help you unlearn old rules that you never chose, and reconnect with yourself

‼️This is the TWISTED part of being raised by emotionally immature parents (EIPs)👇🏽

You’re conditioned to believe:
🔺A parent’s good intentions outweigh their harmful impact
🔺It’s normal to be unheard, dismissed, and ignored by a parent
🔺Love hurts

Growing up with an EIP teaches you to DOUBT yourself, your feelings - even your own reality

Let’s change this in 2026

✨Hi, I’m Katie - a Minnesota based therapist who helps adults around the world turn second-guessing into self-trust so they move forward with more clarity and confidence

💚I’m a big believer in helping you understand the impact of their childhood - so you can better understand yourself, why you do the things you do, and build self-compassion.

I also help you learn the skills you need (but never got from your parents) to manage your emotions, navigate relationships, and live life as your TRUE self - not the limited version you were raised to be

✨If you’re feeling like something’s gotta change this year, I offer therapy, coaching and support groups to guide you every step of the way
