Meet Allie Moore, BA
Graduate Marriage and Family Therapy Intern

EFT and Gottman Couple and Individual
Counseling in Colorado

You remember what it felt like at the beginning — the connection, the hope, the sense that you’d found your person. Somewhere along the way, things shifted.

Now you find yourself caught in the same argument for the hundredth time, wondering if this is just what relationships become. Maybe you feel more like roommates than partners. Maybe there’s a wall you can’t seem to climb over, no matter how hard you try. You might be carrying quiet resentment, a grief you can’t quite name, or a longing for something to feel different — and you’re not sure how to get there from here.

You’ve read the articles. You’ve tried to communicate better. But you’re realizing you might need a guide. Together, we can find a different way.

How I Work

I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most well-researched approaches to couples counseling available. EFT helps you understand the cycle you’re caught in — the push and pull that keeps you stuck — and learn a new way of reaching for each other.

My core belief is that emotions are vitally important data. When we understand what’s driving our reactions and learn to share those experiences with our partners in a new way, something shifts. Closeness becomes possible again. Not because the problems disappear, but because you have new tools to navigate them together.

In our work, I won’t tell you what to do or what to feel. Instead, I’ll ask the questions that help you hear yourself more clearly — your own values, your own desires, your own wisdom about what you need. I believe in your autonomy, your capacity for growth, and the power of genuine self-understanding to change your relationships.

That includes your autonomy over your own body. My work is informed by Health at Every Size® (HAES®) principles, which means I bring zero judgment about body size or shape into the room. I work without assumptions about what health looks like for you, and I won’t offer unsolicited opinions about your body. If you’ve ever felt lectured or dismissed in a healthcare setting, this is a space where that changes.

Emotionally Focused and Gottman Couples Counseling

For couples and partners, I work with challenges including:

• Recurring conflict patterns and communication breakdowns
• Emotional disconnection or growing apart
• Mismatched libido and sexual intimacy concerns
• Partners navigating differences in sexual orientation or identity
• Division of household labor and resentment
• Intercultural, interracial, and inter-abled relationship dynamics
• Adjusting to parenthood and other major life transitions
• Financial stress and money conflicts
• Navigating extended family relationships
• LGBTQ+ relationships and challenges
• Navigating differences in how you and your partner relate to your bodies, health, or diet culture

Individual Counseling

For individual clients, I support people working through:

• Anxiety and depression
• Career stress, burnout, and professional dissatisfaction
• Body acceptance and body neutrality
• Queer identity exploration
• Faith integration and faith deconstruction
• Finding peace in difficult relationships
• Life transitions — including aging, divorce, and retirement
• Caregiver stress and compassion fatigue
• Grief and loss
• Reconnecting with joy, spark, and a sense of aliveness
• Body acceptance, body neutrality, and making peace with yourself in a world that often makes that harder

My Therapy Style

Thoughtful guide. Curious questioner. Compassionate listener. I’ll be in your corner as a co-conspirator in your growth — helping you build the skills for deeper reflection and greater openness, at a pace that feels right for you.

I practice primarily Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a research-backed approach that works by helping couples and individuals access deeper emotional experience and build secure, lasting connection. EFT is one of the most well-researched methods in couples therapy, with decades of studies showing it helps partners move from stuck cycles of conflict into genuine closeness.

I also draw on Health at Every Size® (HAES®) principles and fat liberation frameworks, which shape how I think about the pressures and expectations my clients are navigating inside and outside the therapy room.

About Me:  A different kind of path to the therapist’s chair

Before becoming a therapist, I spent years practicing law and teaching at a law school clinic — guiding small business owners through high-stakes decisions and mentoring law students as they built their professional identities.

That background taught me something essential: people know what matters to them more than they realize. They often just need someone to help them hear themselves. I helped lawyers and business owners articulate their values and make meaningful decisions under pressure — and I bring that same orientation to therapy.

If you’re a lawyer, physician, or other licensed professional in a high-demand career, I have a particular understanding of the unique pressures you navigate. I know what it’s like to carry the weight of that identity and still be searching for something more.

A little about me

Outside the therapy room, I’m a parent to an elementary schooler and the devoted human of two dogs. I’m a firm believer that anything worth doing is worth doing badly — which is how I’ve ended up as a beginning music student and a hobbyist watercolor painter. I love trying new things, and I bring that same spirit of curiosity and openness into my work with clients.
