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 every angle.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Board-Certified Relationship Coach, PACT Couples Therapist, AEDP Individual Therapist, and Brainspotting 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 childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, dissociation, grief and loss, low self worth, recovery and healing from narcissistic abuse and antagonistic relational stress.
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 video sessions. I also provide relationship coaching online for those of you near and far.
I also work with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, automatic negative cognitions, experiential avoidance, and interpersonal problems rooted in growing up in narcissistic family systems.
My clinical practice is focused on helping people rejuvenate their relationships with self and other enhancing positive functioning of self-compassion, well-being, and self-esteem.
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, 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.
Life’s experiences led me here.
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 blend of adventure and routine—the fun kind!
I thrive outdoors, staying active and balanced in body, mind, and spirit.
My days include deep meditation, strength training, Kaiut Yoga, hiking Colorado’s peaks, biking scenic routes, XC skiing, and backpacking.
Nature fuels me, and I make time for it, especially during my annual silent meditation retreat in the woods.
