About Roxcy

Roxcy Brown is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and a Certified Clinical Partner Specialist — Candidate (CCPS-C), trained through APSATS in the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model — the most widely adopted clinical model for working with partners of sexually compulsive clients. She leads Iron Ridge's Partner & Family programming, building a track of care that has historically been an afterthought in this field.

Her conviction is simple: when one person enters treatment, an entire system is in crisis. Partners deserve clinical attention — not a list of support-group meetings. Roxcy leads Iron Ridge's Partner & Family Program with a weekly individual session and a weekly group, coordinated directly with the man's IOP clinical team, and grounded in current trauma research.

She holds her CCPS-C credential through APSATS (Association of Partners of Sexual Compulsivity Trauma Specialists) and is licensed to practice in Texas as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFT-Associate #204940), under the supervision of Billy Myers, LMFT-S (Texas license 201183).

Why I built Iron Ridge

“I built Iron Ridge because I really believe we can do better for families impacted by compulsive sexual behavior. Men need specialized treatment that takes this seriously and gives them the structure, accountability, and clinical care to change. But I also feel incredibly strongly that profound betrayal can have a very real psychological impact on a partner, and that deserves clinical care too. Too often, all of the treatment and resources go toward the person whose behavior created the crisis, while the partner is left trying to make sense of what happened to her on her own. I wanted Iron Ridge to be different. I wanted to help build a place where the man struggling gets the treatment he needs, and the people who have been hurt by his behavior are not left to figure out their healing on their own.”

For partners reading this in the middle of it

If you are the partner who just found out — or has suspected for a long time and finally has confirmation — you are not overreacting. The disorientation, the intrusive thoughts, the sleep that will not come, the questioning of every memory you have of the relationship: those are not signs that you are unwell. They are the recognized clinical picture of betrayal trauma, and they are treatable.

You do not have to know what you want the outcome of your relationship to be in order to start clinical work. Your care is on its own track, on its own timeline, with a clinician trained specifically in partner trauma.

In conversation

Roxcy and Ian Brown were guests on the Valiant Living Podcast, episode 70, “Love Without Rescuing” (September 2026), on why the instinct to fix, cover and cushion consequences keeps the cycle alive, and what loving someone without rescuing them looks like from the partner’s side.
