Courtney Brown
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in helping adults and couples navigate the challenges of trauma, relationship conflict, and mood disorders. My approach is active and directive—I believe real change happens when we work collaboratively to understand patterns, build insight, and take concrete steps toward healing and growth. I draw from evidence-based modalities including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gottman Method, and Relational Life Therapy, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re recovering from past trauma, rebuilding trust in your relationship, or seeking greater emotional balance, I provide a grounded and compassionate space where meaningful progress can happen. In addition to therapy, I offer assessments for ADHD and autism to help clarify strengths, challenges, and next steps for care. I primarily work with adults and couples, and also see older teens on a case-by-case basis. My goal is to help you move beyond coping—to living with clarity, connection, and confidence.
Areas of Expertise
Therapeutic Approach
My approach to therapy is active, collaborative, and focused on helping clients create lasting change. I don’t believe in simply listening while you stay stuck in the same patterns—together, we identify what isn’t working and develop practical strategies for moving forward. Drawing from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), the Gottman Method, and Relational Life Therapy, I tailor each session to meet your specific needs and goals. Whether we’re addressing trauma, relationship challenges, or mood-related concerns, I aim to create a safe yet challenging environment that encourages self-awareness, accountability, and growth. My role is to help you gain clarity, strengthen connection—with yourself and others—and move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
