Our February blog series is all about COUPLES! ➡️

Support from a Therapist Who Understands Couples

At Brown Counseling, couples therapy is led by clinicians who are trained to look beyond surface-level conflict and help partners understand what’s really happening beneath the arguments.

Spencer Simon, our specialist in couples counseling, is Gottman Level 2 trained, a research-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on strengthening friendship, improving communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding trust. The Gottman Method is grounded in decades of relationship research and emphasizes practical tools alongside emotional understanding.

Spencer’s work with couples centers on helping partners slow down painful cycles, identify unmet needs, and learn how to reconnect in ways that feel sustainable—not scripted or forced. Therapy isn’t about taking sides; it’s about helping both partners feel seen, understood, and supported as they navigate challenges together.

If you and your partner are feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, couples therapy can be a meaningful step toward clarity and repair. Appointments with Spencer Simon are available, and booking is open for couples who are ready to begin—or simply want to explore whether therapy could be helpful. Call/Text: (337) 573- 0636

💔➡️❤️ Healing After Abuse Affects New Relationships

Healing from an abusive relationship doesn’t end when the relationship ends.
Unresolved trauma can follow you into your next relationship through attachment patterns and emotional triggers. 🧠💬

Attachment theory may show up as:
• 🔗 Anxious attachment — fear of abandonment, needing constant reassurance
• 🧊 Avoidant attachment — emotional distance, shutting down during conflict
• ⚡ Trauma bonding — confusing intensity with love
• 🛡️ Hypervigilance — always waiting for the next problem

✨ The good news? Attachment patterns can change with therapy and healthy support.
