About
Breaking cycles and building better relationships.
Do you feel stuck in the same patterns, unsure why your relationships don’t work out, or exhausted from emotional ups and downs?
You’re not alone.
Many of us carry wounds from the past that shape the way we connect with others, handle emotions, and cope with stress.
But the good news?
You can break free. You can heal.
I can help you understand yourself better, find healthier ways to navigate relationships, and regain control over your life.
Choosing better, loving smarter.
If you find yourself drawn to unavailable or toxic people, struggling with intimacy, or feeling stuck in imbalanced relationships, it might be time to take a deeper look.
Together, we explore why these patterns exist and how to choose partners who truly support and respect you.
Emotional healing and self-trust.
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in survival mode?
Learning to manage your emotions in a healthy way can bring more peace, confidence, and balance to your life.
I’ll help you recognize triggers, shift from negativity to neutrality, and find stability in relationships, work, and personal growth.
Turning struggles into strengths.
How do you deal with pain?
Do you escape through distractions, unhealthy habits, or self-sabotage?
Many of us develop coping mechanisms that protect us in the short term but hold us back in the long run.
Here, I’ll help you focus on shifting from avoidance to real healing—so you can move forward instead of feeling stuck.
Small steps lead to big changes.
Healing isn’t about being perfect. It’s about understanding yourself, making small changes, and learning to trust yourself again.
You are not broken. You are growing. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Let’s start this journey together.
About Teena Evert, MA, LMFT, BCC, MIM
Navigating relationships from the inside out.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a PACT Couples Therapist, and a trauma-informed practitioner with deep experience in healing relational wounds. My approach is grounded, intuitive, and emotionally focused—rooted in both science and soul.
I specialize in primary relationships:
-
Couples Therapy for committed, monogamous partners ready to build (or rebuild) a secure-functioning relationship
-
Individual and Group Therapy for adults healing from childhood trauma, narcissistic abuse, anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep them stuck
I work with people who want to grow—who long for deeper connection, emotional safety, and a more authentic way of being in relationship with themselves and others.
Whether we work together in person in Boulder, CO or online, my focus is always on helping you move toward more clarity, more compassion, and more connection—inside and out.
A glimpse into my journey.
I hold a master’s degree in clinical psychology, specializing in adult attachment, arousal regulation, complex trauma, developmental neuroscience, and compassionate communication. I am also a graduate of the Master Intuition Medicine® program.
My journey as a clinical began with individuals, couples, and families facing challenges like personality disorders, addictions, chronic pain, trauma and unresolved, fear, anger, and loss.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to study under prominent experts in Marriage and Family Therapy.
My advanced training and certifications include PACT Couples Therapy, Transformative Couples Therapy (TCT), The Gottman Method, Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy, The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, Nonviolent Communication, Intuition Medicine®, Integral Psychotherapy, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Assessing and Treating Sex Issues in Psychotherapy with Martha Kauppi, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and Brain Spotting (BSP). These and more have shaped my approach to helping people heal and growth at a core level.
My passion for learning and commitment to personal, professional, and soul growth inspires me to continually enhance my knowledge and skills as a natural healer, mediator, and psychotherapist.
Why I do this work.
I am a seeker. I’ve never been interested in surface-level living. I’m here for truth, depth, and connection—even when it’s messy, even when it hurts.
I’ve walked through the fire of my own healing, and instead of shutting down or turning away, I’ve leaned in. I’ve chosen to grow, to feel, to show up—again and again. Not because it’s easy, but because I believe in the power of transformation.
I feel deeply. I see what’s beneath the surface. I hold space for what others often avoid. That sensitivity is my strength—and at times, my greatest challenge. I know what it means to carry too much, to hold it all together, to quietly unravel while still showing up for others. I know the cost of disconnection, and I refuse to let it be the norm.
This work isn’t just a profession—it’s personal. It’s my calling, my rebellion against numbness and inauthenticity. I’m here to create something better. More honest. More human.
I help others remember who they are beneath the armor—because I’ve done, and continue to do, that work myself.
I hold high standards. I care deeply. I don’t pretend to have it all figured out, but I do know this: I’m not afraid of the dark. I go there willingly. And in doing so, I bring light—not for show, but to guide others home to themselves and their relationships.
This is who I am. This is what I stand for.
In the wake of my father’s passing in October 2021, I felt compelled to share my soul journey through the grief. This led to the publication of Cracked Open: Healing from the Pain of Loss in February 2022. The book offers a deeply personal perspective and a fresh outlook on overcoming life’s challenges, making life a little more manageable. It’s a lifeline for anyone dealing with grief, whether it’s the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or significant life changes. Please see my page on Grief and Loss.
A little more about me.
I’m a blend of grounded routine and wild adventure—the fun kind.
I thrive on staying active in body, mind, and spirit, and I make it a priority to live in alignment with what nourishes me.
Nature is where I reset and remember who I am. You’ll often find me scrambling Colorado’s highest peaks, biking scenic routes, skiing the quiet backcountry, or backpacking into the alpine. I also love the discipline of strength training, Kaiut Yoga, and daily meditation, which help me stay centered and strong.
I take an annual silent retreat in the woods to unplug and reconnect—and it’s one of my favorite personal rituals.
Outside of work, I value continued learning, building heart-centered community, and investing in my “friends family”—the chosen people in my life who walk beside me in truth, laughter, and love.
