Kathryn Egge

I specialize in treating Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). and Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents (EIPs). I work with individuals 18+, couples, and parents who want to heal & prevent emotional neglect, and navigate difficult relationships with their parents/in-laws.

I help clients reconnect with themself, identify and communicate their wants/needs, and improve their relationships. I'm skills-based & strive to provide my clients with the info & actionable tools they need - but didn't get growing up - to heal, make sense of their past, and move forward with clarity, skill and confidence.

• My therapeutic style is collaborative, validating, and direct.
• I ask insight-building questions to help clients gain more understanding (and challenge when needed)
• Provide psychoeducation on emotions, emotional intelligence, relationships, parenting, etc
• Teach exercises to help clients learn and practice new skills in and outside of session
• Suggest homework to help solidify these skills to make and sustain change

My clients often share that through working with me they:

• Learn info + skills to actually DO something to heal and make changes in their life
• Gain understanding & acceptance of themselves
• Finally get to know who they are after years of masking or minimizing their real self
• Are able to communicate and connect in relationships
• No longer feel controlled by their emotions, triggers, and learned coping mechanisms
• Feel more confident because they now have tools to to improve their relationships, resolve conflict, and handle difficult relationships with their parents/in-law
• Can set and maintain boundaries that work
• Feel more confident in their parenting
