COMPLIANCE
Accreditation and licensure.
Clinical licensure
Ian Birdwell holds an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) license in Texas and is a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) through IITAP, the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals. Roxcy Brown holds an LMFT-Associate (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate) license in Texas, practicing under required clinical supervision, and holds the CCPS-C (Certified Clinical Partner Specialist Candidate) credential.
Program status
Iron Ridge operates as an intensive outpatient program under the individual clinical licenses of its treating clinicians. As the program matures, we intend to pursue formal program-level accreditation, such as CARF or Joint Commission accreditation, appropriate to an outpatient behavioral health program of our size. We will update this page as those steps are completed — we do not represent accreditation status we have not yet earned.
Insurance handling
Private pay. Out-of-network with PPO superbills. We do not report to your insurance on your behalf. Iron Ridge is structured as private pay and out-of-network by design, not by default. Clients receive a superbill they can submit to their own carrier for possible reimbursement, but Iron Ridge does not communicate with insurance companies about any client's care. For a man whose primary concern is that this stay off an insurance record his employer, spouse, or licensing board could access, this is a structural protection, not a policy promise.
