Texas’ dedicated intensive program for men with compulsive sexual behavior and porn addiction: an eight-week intensive outpatient program, in person in Austin and by secure telehealth across Texas, and Texas’s only IOP built exclusively for this pattern. Because the opposite of addiction isn’t abstinence — it’s connection. Iron Ridge treats the isolation that makes recovery possible, not just the behavior that makes recovery necessary.

Which of these is you?
If this is about you
You have been carrying this on your own
Maybe for years, and maybe nobody knows. You have stopped before and it did not hold. You do not have to be ready to change to look at what is here.
Start here →If this is about your partner
You found something and everything shifted
You are trying to work out what is real and whether you are overreacting. You are not. What you are experiencing has a name and a path through it, and getting help does not require his involvement.
Start here →For men with a great deal to lose
You need to know exactly how private this is
Executives, physicians, attorneys, founders. Private pay with no claim if you choose, no employer contact, small groups, video from a private office. Written plainly.

Looking for sex addiction therapy in Austin, porn addiction treatment in Austin or betrayal trauma help in Austin? All three meet in person at our North Austin clinic. Comparing options statewide? Sex addiction rehab in Texas covers every level of care.
01
CSBD-Exclusive in Texas
The only IOP in Texas built exclusively for the CSBD-presenting population. No mixed-diagnosis groups. No dilution of the relational damage, betrayal, and shame this population actually carries.
02
Clinical Approach
Trauma-informed, evidence-based care led by a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. Structured curriculum, not a support group.
03
Out-of-Network & Confidential
We are out-of-network with commercial insurance. We can bill your PPO out of network or provide superbills for reimbursement. PPO plans from insurers such as Cigna, Aetna and Anthem often include out-of-network benefits; coverage depends on your plan. Prefer no paper trail? Pay privately and no claim is filed.
A Structured Path
A structured path to clarity, direction, and honest change.
Compulsive sexual behavior rarely responds to weekly therapy alone. Iron Ridge provides the containment, structure, and clinical depth required when the problem has continued despite consequences.
“The first intensive outpatient program in the state built specifically for men with compulsive sexual behavior.”
Valiant Living Podcast, episode 70, September 2026
What Makes It Different
Not a substance rehab. Not a general IOP.
All men
Every client is a man. The room is built for how men carry this.
Every man in the room is there for the same reason
Groups are for compulsive sexual behavior only. No mixed-diagnosis groups, no one working on something else.
Not a substance program
No detox, no substance-use clients. A co-occurring drinking or drug problem is referred, not folded in.
A curriculum built for sexual behavior
An eight-week structured arc written for this pattern by a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, not an addiction curriculum with the nouns changed.

If You Are the Partner
The reality you thought you were living in has just shifted. There is a way through this.
Whatever you learned — today, last night, or six months ago that you have been carrying alone — you are not overreacting and you are not unstable. What you are experiencing is a recognized clinical injury with a name: betrayal trauma. It is treatable, and you do not need to know where you want it to end before you start.
Iron Ridge’s Partner & Family Program is directed by co-founder Roxcy Brown, LMFT-Associate, CCPS-C (supervised by Billy Myers, LMFT-S, Texas license 201183), trained through APSATS in the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model. Weekly individual therapy, a weekly clinical group with other partners walking the same ground, and coordination with the man’s IOP treatment team — on your own timeline.
