Men's CSBD IOP in Leander, Texas
Men's intensive outpatient treatment for compulsive sexual behavior serving Leander, Texas. About 15 miles from our north Austin clinic, 20–30 minutes away.
The commute, honestly
Leander is about fifteen miles from the clinic — 20 to 30 minutes via the 183A Toll and US-183 outside peak, 30 to 45 in heavier traffic. The toll road is the difference: it makes the drive predictable in a way the free alternatives are not.
At nine to twelve clinical hours a week, in-person is workable and is the default recommendation for men in Crystal Falls, Travisso, Bryson, and Reagan's Overlook.
One of the fastest-growing places in Texas
Leander has roughly tripled in population in a decade, and most of the people who live there moved from somewhere else. That cuts two ways clinically. There is often less of an established support network to fall back on — and correspondingly less exposure, since fewer people have known you long enough to notice a pattern.
If you are newer to the area and have not built a circle here yet, that isolation is worth naming on the consult call. It is frequently part of what has kept a pattern running.
Toll versus no toll
Practically: the 183A is worth the money on a program night. The alternative route through Cedar Park adds fifteen minutes on a bad evening and turns a predictable commute into an unpredictable one, which is the sort of friction that ends attendance.
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.

Common questions
How far is Iron Ridge Recovery from Leander?
about 15 miles from our clinic at 4030 W. Braker Ln in north Austin — 20–30 minutes in normal traffic and 30–45 minutes in heavier traffic, most directly via the 183A Toll and US-183 North.
Should I attend in person or by telehealth from Leander?
In person. The drive is short enough that attending 20–30 minutes each way is realistic three times a week, and men from Leander are treated as part of the in-person track by default.
Is the virtual program different from attending in Austin?
No. Same eight-week clinical arc, same nine to twelve clinical hours per week, same clinicians, same assessments, same price. Only the room changes.
Is there a sex addiction or CSBD program in Leander?
Not one built exclusively for compulsive sexual behavior. Iron Ridge is the only Texas IOP specialising in it, serving Leander from north Austin and by secure telehealth statewide.
Will anyone in Leander know I am in treatment?
Not from us. Iron Ridge is private pay and out-of-network — we do not submit insurance claims, request authorisation, or contact employers or family members.
