Men's CSBD IOP in Westlake Hills, Texas
Intensive outpatient treatment for compulsive sexual behavior serving Westlake Hills, Texas. About 10 miles from our clinic in north Austin, or by telehealth.
The commute, honestly
Westlake Hills is about ten miles from the clinic, 15 to 20 minutes up Mopac outside peak, 25 to 35 when Mopac is doing what Mopac does. It is one of the easier drives of any market we serve.
At nine to twelve clinical hours a week, that is a program you can realistically attend. In-person is the default recommendation for men in Westlake, Rollingwood, Barton Creek, and Rob Roy.
Privacy in a small community
Westlake is affluent, professionally dense, and small. People know each other's cars. That creates a specific problem: the local therapist your neighbour also sees is not a neutral option, and for men whose concern is a spouse, an employer, or a professional licence, discretion is not squeamishness — it is the reason they are willing to start at all.
Attending a program in North Austin solves that structurally. So does our billing: if you pay privately, we never contact your insurer. There is no claim, no authorisation request, and no diagnosis transmitted anywhere.
For professionals with licensure exposure
A meaningful share of the men we work with hold licences, board seats, or executive positions where a mental health claim on an insurance record is a genuine risk rather than a theoretical one. That is exactly why the financial model is built the way it is, and it is worth raising directly on the consult call.
Next step
The consult call is a clinical conversation, not a sales call. Calls are answered live by our team, Mon–Fri 8am–9pm CT, 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
Iron Ridge is out-of-network with commercial PPOs. We can bill your plan out of network, provide an itemized superbill for you to submit yourself, or you can pay privately, with no claim filed and nothing sent to your insurer.
