About
Welcome aboard the relationship journey.
Welcome to the exhilarating journey of love and connection! I’m your trusty navigator on this rollercoaster ride, and I promise you, it will be one heck of an adventure.
Relationships start with the sunshine and rainbows phase.
It’s like living in a fairy tale when everything is sunshine and rainbows in your relationship. Isn’t it?
Your love story is unique and extraordinary – worthy of all the recognition in the world. The bond you share with your partner is a force not to be underestimated, providing you with a reason to persevere and never lose hope.
Navigating unexpected turns brings challenges.
But hold on tight because sometimes things take an unexpected turn for the worse.
Those loving glances can turn into frosty stares, and you wonder if an imposter has replaced your partner.
You might even think, “I don’t deserve this!” Your strong connection morphs into a crisis, and you begin to question the health of your relationship in the face of mounting challenges.
Transform those connections!
Fear not, for I am here to help you navigate the complex terrain of relationships and transform your connection into something extraordinary.
I specialize in developing secure-functioning relationships because, let’s face it, we all have difficult moments, even me!
But the real challenge is when one of you crosses the line and becomes too much pain in the rear.
Learn to empower harmonious partnerships.
To make relationships less complicated and more harmonious, I provide couples therapy that empowers partners to work together seamlessly.
When you both master the art of repairing and reengaging, your relationship can move out of crisis mode and back into the deep connection you cherish.
Let me guide you toward a better relationship.
My mission is simple: to help couples like you build strong, safe, and secure relationships. When you’re secure functioning, you’re like the dynamic duo of the universe, ensuring that each other feels utterly safe and secure.
It’s a partnership where both parties agree to make life easier for one another, not harder. Such a partnership is the cornerstone of a secure-functioning relationship, and I’m here to guide you on this incredible journey.
Start the journey of healing after a breakup.
On another note, sometimes it’s best to part ways. In this case, I’m here to guide you on the journey to healing, growth, and rediscovery after a significant breakup or divorce.
I empower women and men not just to survive but thrive during this transitional phase. With the proper support and tools, I firmly believe you can reclaim control of your life, rebuild your self-esteem, and nurture your emotional well-being.
Experience a holistic approach to recovery.
My approach is holistic. I address the emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical challenges of loss and the practical aspects of recovering from heartbreak.
This approach is about nurturing your whole self, ranging from your inner emotional landscape to the tangible changes in your life.
Take the path to resilience and transformation.
Together, we’ll embark on a journey of healing and soul growth. You’ll discover your inner strength, rebuild what may have been shaken by your relationship, and emerge from this phase of life with newfound resilience. With my support and a holistic approach, you can take charge of your life post-divorce or breakup and create a brighter and more fulfilling future than you ever imagined.
So, whether you’re in Boulder or beyond, I’m here to guide you on the journey to secure functioning and relationship excellence. Let’s work together to strengthen the bond that matters most – the one you share with your partner.
Or, if you’re ready to embrace a new beginning after a significant relationship ending, I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way. Let’s embark on this empowering journey together and let the transformation begin.
About Teena Evert, MA, LMFT, BCC, MIM
I wear several hats as a relationship expert.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Board-Certified Relationship Coach, PACT Couples Therapist, AEDP Individual Therapist, and Brainspotting Specialist and Intuition Medicine® Practitioner. I consider myself to be an emotion-focused, experiential/relational therapist -best described as an evidence-based, grounded person whose therapeutic approach is intuitive, compassionate, holistic, and effective.
My specialty? Primary relationships. Couples Work focused on creating a secure-functioning relationship and Individual Work focused on addressing issues linked to trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, dissociation, grief and loss, low self worth, and relationship difficulties.
I work with committed couples who have a desire to grow together on a deep level to secure the longevity of their relationship. I offer Couples Therapy, whether you prefer to meet in person in Boulder, CO or through the magic of video sessions. I am licensed in Colorado, Washington and, Idaho and I also provide relationship coaching online for those of you near and far.
I also work with individuals suffering from depression, emotional dysregulation, automatic negative cognitions, experiential avoidance, and interpersonal problems.
My clinical practice is focused on helping people flourish in their relationships enhancing positive functioning of self-compassion, well-being, and self-esteem.
Now, let me share a bit about my background.
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, 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). 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.
Personal experiences catalyzed my interest.
My academic training laid the groundwork, but my personal experiences were the real architects of my journey. Emotional crises were pivotal moments that propelled me to heal from primary core wounds and adult relational trauma.
Before donning the hats of a psychotherapist, relationship coach, and intuitive guide I wore many others, including roles like structural integration practitioner, therapeutic yoga teacher, and even fish biologist.
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.
I have a life outside of work!
I’m a bit paradoxical – thriving on adventure and routine (the fun kind).
You’ll often find me frolicking outdoors, soaking up an active life. I’m all about maintaining that well-rounded fitness – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
My daily routine includes deep meditation, intense strength training, the intelligent moves of Kaiut Yoga, scaling the foothills and Colorado peaks, biking through scenic routes, gliding on XC skis, and embarking on backpacking adventures with my closest comrades and life partner.
Nature is my soul’s favorite buffet, and I aim to savor it at least once a year during a silent meditation retreat in the woods.
