About The Rooted Therapist MI
Therapy for Adult Daughters in Michigan
Attachment Informed Virtual Therapy for Women Healing from Emotionally Immature Parents
Hi, I’m Kymberly
Owner | Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I work with adult daughters of emotionally immature parents throughout Michigan through virtual therapy.
Many of the women who find their way here are thoughtful, capable, and deeply self-aware. On the outside, they hold everything together. On the inside, they are tired of overthinking, managing everyone’s emotions, and feeling guilty for having needs.
If that sounds familiar, you are not alone.
I specialize in helping women untangle patterns shaped by emotionally immature parenting, childhood emotional neglect, and boundary anxiety so they can feel steadier in themselves and in their relationships.
Why This Work Matters to Me
I have long been drawn to understanding how the brain and body shape our relationships.
How attachment forms.
How the nervous system adapts to unpredictability.
How early family dynamics quietly influence how safe it feels to have needs, set boundaries, or trust yourself.
Over time, that interest became a clear direction.
I specialize in working with adult daughters of emotionally immature parents because this dynamic is often subtle and misunderstood. It can look like high functioning competence on the outside while anxiety, guilt, and hyper responsibility run underneath.
This work deserves nuance. It deserves steadiness. It deserves care.
My Approach
My work is rooted in attachment informed therapy, nervous system awareness, and continued training in holistic mind body approaches.
That means we pay attention not only to what you think, but to what happens in your body when you set a boundary. We slow down the guilt. We notice the anxiety. We understand why people pleasing once felt necessary.
Together, we gently work through:
Attachment wounds from emotionally immature parenting
The impact of childhood emotional neglect
Guilt and shame after boundary setting
Overthinking and rumination
Rebuilding self trust
Therapy with me is steady, relational, and depth oriented. It is not rushed. It is not surface level. We move at a pace that supports your nervous system while still moving forward
Therapy Requires Commitment
The women I work with are ready to show up for themselves.
This work includes reflection and practical exercises between sessions. Sometimes that looks like journaling. Sometimes it looks like practicing boundaries. Sometimes it is simply noticing patterns in real time.
Lasting change happens both inside and outside the therapy room.
Because of that, I work best with clients who are committed to attending consistently, engaging in the process, and prioritizing their growth.
If you are ready to invest in steady, meaningful change, we will likely work well together.
