Heal relational wounds and build stronger relationships.
You might find yourself stuck in a frustrating loop: you want to develop deep connections with others, but you often feel anxious, misunderstood, or you pull away when things get too close.
Whether you struggle with constant relationship conflict, choose partners who are emotionally unavailable, or feel chronic loneliness even when you're with people, this pattern is not your fault.
It is often a signal that an early blueprint—your attachment style—is driving your adult relationships.
I’m Allie Evans, a licensed Denver therapist specializing in Attachment-Based Therapy. My practice is dedicated to helping people throughout Colorado understand those relational blueprints, heal the underlying wounds, and finally build relationships that feel secure, authentic, and fulfilling.
Denver Attachment-Based Therapy
What is attachment-based therapy? (And how does it work?)
Attachment Theory suggests that our earliest experiences with caregivers form an internal working model for all future relationships. When those early connections were unpredictable or unsafe, we developed coping strategies (such as people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, or hyper-independence) that helped us survive, but now prevent us from experiencing the connection we crave.
Attachment-Based Therapy is a powerful approach that doesn't just treat the symptom (like anxiety or conflict); it addresses the root cause of your relational struggles.
Together, we focus on:
Identifying Your Blueprint: Understanding your primary attachment style (e.g., Anxious, Avoidant, Disorganized) and how it activates in current relationships.
Regulating Your Nervous System: Learning to calm your body’s automatic, panic-driven responses that occur when a relationship is threatened.
Earning Secure Attachment: The goal is not to change who you are, but to upgrade your internal system so you can show up in relationships grounded, confident, and capable of both connection and healthy independence.
For therapy to truly heal attachment trauma, it must go beyond talk. It needs to address the wounds stored in the body and the subconscious mind. As one of the leading attachment-based therapists in Denver, I blend effective, evidence-based modalities to facilitate this deep, lasting change:
Internal Family Systems (IFS): We recognize the "parts" of you (e.g., The Pleaser, The Critical Part, The Withdrawer) that developed to cope with past relational pain. We unburden these parts, bringing compassion and leadership from your core Self.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): This is crucial for relational trauma. EMDR helps your brain re-process past memories of abandonment, rejection, or betrayal, so they no longer trigger panic or defense mechanisms in your current life.
Somatic & Body-Based Therapy: Attachment stress is stored in the nervous system. We use body-based techniques to help you feel safe in your own body, which is the necessary foundation for feeling safe in relationship with others.
