I’m Teena Evert, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Boulder, Colorado. For 17 years, I’ve worked exclusively with couples who want more than surface-level change.

Many of the couples I work with have built full lives together. They may have raised children, weathered major transitions, managed demanding careers, or stayed together through years of distance, conflict, or disappointment. But somewhere along the way, the relationship began to feel less secure, less connected, or less alive.

My work is about helping couples slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin creating a relationship that feels more honest, resilient, intimate, and deeply cared for.

Many couples come to me after years of feeling stuck — or after trying therapy before and wondering why lasting change still feels out of reach. What often keeps couples trapped isn’t a lack of love. It’s the automatic patterns that take over during moments of stress, conflict, hurt, and disconnection.

My work goes beyond symptom relief or communication tips. Rather than focusing only on what you say to each other, I help you understand what’s happening between you — in your nervous systems, attachment patterns, protective strategies, and attempts to feel safe. That depth is often why couples who’ve struggled for years begin to experience real movement and a stronger sense of partnership.
