Men's CSBD IOP in Dripping Springs, Texas
Intensive outpatient treatment for compulsive sexual behavior serving Dripping Springs, Texas. About 28 miles from our clinic in north Austin, or by telehealth.
The commute, honestly
Dripping Springs is about twenty-eight miles from the clinic — 35 to 45 minutes via Mopac South to US-290 West outside peak, 50 to 65 minutes in heavier traffic. US-290 through Oak Hill is the bottleneck and it is a reliable one.
At nine to twelve clinical hours a week, in-person from Dripping Springs is a real commitment: potentially two hours of driving on a program day.
Our actual recommendation
Telehealth-primary, with in-person where it suits you. That is what we would tell you on the phone, and it is not a way of managing expectations downward. The virtual program runs the same eight-week arc, the same clinical hours, with the same clinicians, at the same price.
For men in Belterra, Caliterra, Headwaters, and Sawyer Ranch, the deciding question is usually whether you have a private space at home. If you do, telehealth removes the single largest obstacle to finishing the program. If you do not, the drive may be worth it — and that is a conversation worth having rather than a rule.
Hill Country distance is a privacy asset
Dripping Springs is spread out and socially connected in the way small towns are. Seeking treatment locally is visible; seeking it in North Austin, or from a private room at home, is not. For a lot of men that calculation is the whole reason they are willing to start.
Next step
The consult call is a clinical conversation, not a sales call. A licensed member of the clinical team replies within one business day, nothing is charged, and if Iron Ridge is not the right level of care we will say so and point you toward what is.

The program
Iron Ridge runs a men-only intensive outpatient program for compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD, ICD-11 6C72) and related patterns — pornography compulsivity, sexual compulsivity, sex and love addiction, online sex addiction, and repeated infidelity. Care is led by Ian Birdwell, LPC, CSAT, with concurrent Partner & Family Programming led by Roxcy Brown, LMFT-Associate, CCPS-C (supervised by Billy Myers, LMFT-S, Texas license 201183).
The clinical arc is 8 weeks, 9–12 clinical hours per week, 72–96 total hours: Stabilization (weeks 1–3), Trauma Processing (weeks 4–6), and Relapse Prevention (weeks 7–8). Group and individual sessions are structured around the same plan across every man in the cohort, without being generic.
Who this is for
The men we treat are usually working, often high-functioning, and rarely looking for a group therapy experience for its own sake. They are looking for a clinical structure that meets a real diagnostic threshold, discreetly, and gets to work.
You do not have to name it out loud on the first call. If you are here, that is enough to start a private conversation with our team.
How care is paid for
All care is private pay. Iron Ridge is out-of-network with commercial PPOs and provides itemized superbills for members who choose to seek out-of-network reimbursement from their own carrier. We do not report to your insurance on your behalf.
