  • "Helping you have happier relationships"

    Attachment-Based Therapy in Colorado

    At UpliftME Attachment-Based Therapy we work with children, teens, adults, and families  – healing relationships and the pain that can result when people struggle. 

    You may be someone who always feels alone in a crowd, or someone who feels like you try so hard to connect to others but never actually experience a feeling of connectedness.  Life has been full of relationships and daily demands.  The people you have in your life need a lot from you but they never really give back the way you need.  Actually, you’re not sure you’ve ever gotten what you need and it feels awful.  And now, now you are a partner and you don’t know how to make this relationship work. Or, you are parent, and your kids are draining everything you have to give.  It doesn’t feel like the friends you have are really a good fit for you and even your co-workers touch a nerve.  

    You love the people you’re close to and you want to feel loved by them, but something is not working. Since it’s been a lifetime of missed connection it’s hard to even know where it all started.  It doesn’t feel like you are mentally ill, just struggling with feeling valued, feeling loved, or feeling effective in helping your own children with their struggles.

    As we all have discovered these past years, relationships are very important for our well-being. But they can be difficult.  Sometimes our past, our earliest years with parents and caregivers, can literally get in the way of what we want or what we know could be better. 

    The parent-child relationship is so important to how we grow up to see ourselves in relationships.  If you are a person trying to figure out how to have a healthy relationship when you aren’t sure you’ve ever seen one, or a parent trying to find the answers to understand and support your child so they don’t grow up hurt and unhappy, we can help.

    Why Therapy Now?

    These past years have added unusual stress and strain.  While it might have felt like you’ve spent all of your time with the ones you love most, it might have also felt like you’ve never been so disconnected, angry, or uncomfortable together.

    Families are struggling and divorces have increased. Children are having a hard time feeling comfortable around others, they are more sad, angry, and anxious than we can ever remember.  It’s been hard for young people to interact at all.  They are lonely and anxious.  

    Young adults have felt isolated – it’s been confusing to know who they want to be, how they should show up in the world, and how to have close relationships. And many adults are noticing things coming up from their past that they thought they had left behind, only to find that those difficult experiences are more present now than ever.

    Everyone has continued with school, work, and home, but it’s been difficult and our relationships have suffered. Therapy seems like a good answer to these challenges and to this depth of pain and discomfort. Therapy for relationships could be the best option and considering attachment and the parent-child relationship has never been more relevant to how we are all coping at this time.

    At UpliftME Attachment-Based Therapy we want to help. We want to help you enjoy your life and your relationships.  We want to support you to feel confident in the world and support children and families with big feelings. 

    We can help you with the painful past you carry with you.  We will understand how the messages you received as a child play out in your head or the things you avoid because they hurt too much.  We will also understand how all of these things impact the relationships you have with your children and your loved ones.
