Men's CSBD IOP in Lakeway, Texas
Men's intensive outpatient treatment for compulsive sexual behavior serving Lakeway, Texas. About 17 miles from our north Austin clinic, 25–30 minutes away.
The commute, honestly
Lakeway is about seventeen miles from the clinic — 25 to 30 minutes via Loop 360 to TX-71 West outside peak, 35 to 45 in heavier traffic. It is a longer run than the inner-ring markets, and TX-71 in the evening is the variable.
At nine to twelve clinical hours a week that is still workable, and in-person remains the default recommendation for men in The Hills, Rough Hollow, Serene Hills, and Flintrock Falls. But it is a genuine commitment, and worth being honest with yourself about before you start rather than in week three.
A hybrid week is a legitimate answer here
Some men in Lakeway attend in person for most of the arc and use secure telehealth for the weeks when a work trip, a bad traffic stretch, or a schedule change would otherwise mean missing entirely. The clinical hours are the same either way.
That is not a lesser version of the program. Missing sessions is what damages the arc; the format is secondary.
The lake community factor
Lakeway is geographically distinct enough to function as its own small town, with the visibility that comes with it. For men whose main concern is being seen, the drive into North Austin is doing useful work beyond simply getting you to a clinic.
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.
