Being raised by an emotionally immature parent is often a deeply lonely experience. Your thoughts and feelings may have been dismissed or minimized, leaving you questioning yourself: “Am I too sensitive? Was it really that bad?”

In a Support Group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, you’ll hear others share experiences that feel familiar -helping you realize you’re not alone and that your experiences are valid.

This group helps you gain clarity, reconnect with your emotions (and yourself), and develop practical tools to set boundaries, cope with guilt, and show up more confidently in your relationships.

Over time, many people feel more grounded, more self-trusting, and less stuck in old patterns.

Each session combines process time, psychoeducation, and skill building to help you understand how being raised by an emotionally immature parent has impacted you - and what to do differently now.

You’ll learn concepts and tools (like setting boundaries, managing triggers, and recognizing + responding to common control patterns), while connecting with others who truly get it.

The group follows a clear roadmap, with a different key topic each week focused on what’s actually needed to understand, navigate, and heal from your emotionally immature parent - not just survive them

This group may be a good fit if you often find yourself:

• Second-guessing your feelings

• Feeling responsible for others’ emotions

• Struggling to set boundaries with your parent

• Feeling stuck in patterns like people-pleasing, guilt, or emotional shutdown

• Feel like you don’t really know yourself

If you’re recognizing yourself in even a few of these, this group can help you make sense of these patterns and start changing them in a supportive, structured way.

Yes, online support groups can be just as effective as in-person support groups! In fact, it can increase your overall comfort level as you are surrounded by the familiarity of your own home/space during session.

Plus, meeting online can eliminate stress and barriers to attendance, such as drive time/traffic, making it easier to fit into your busy schedule.

Yes. You don’t need ongoing contact with your parent for this work to be meaningful.

An emotionally immature parent often has a significant and negative impact on how we think/feel about ourselves, our choices, and our relationships - even if you are no-contact with your parent, or they are no longer alive.

In the group, we focus on understanding and healing those patterns - not changing your parent. That means you can still gain clarity and learn new ways of responding and relating to yourself and others.

That’s completely normal - most people feel this way before their first group, especially if you are used to handling things on your own or keeping your thoughts/feelings to yourself.

Groups are intentionally limited to 5-8 people to help decrease overwhelm and encourage sharing.

While it is important to have your camera turned on during group sessions to increase a sense of connection and safety, you’re still able to participate in a way that feels manageable for you - including taking breaks, sharing at your own pace, or simply listening when needed.

Individual therapy focuses on you and your specific history, with space to go deeper at your own pace and get highly personalized support.

A Support Group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents offers something different. In addition to guidance and tools, you’re hearing from others who have had similar experiences. That shared understanding can be incredibly validating and helps reduce the self-doubt that often comes from this kind of upbringing.

The group also follows a clear roadmap, so you’re not just talking about what’s hard - you’re actively learning, practicing new skills, and seeing how these patterns show up in various aspects of your life.

Many people find that group work helps them feel less alone and more understood, while still building the insight and tools needed to create real change.
