Sometimes a painful experience has a grip on you - so much so that you feel unable to move past it. You feel betrayed, confused, hurt, scared, desperate, or angry. You feel consumed by it, and it's affecting your relationships and your performance. You may question your life choices, and you may feel like you're at the end of your rope. Where do I go now? What do I do now? These are difficult, vulnerable moments in your life. Seeking help is a proactive and courageous act, and I will meet you where you are. I am here to listen and provide a safe holding space for you to release the pain you have been holding in. I know each client comes with unique needs, based on each person's rich life story. I will take time to carefully listen to the experiences you bring to the table to understand the values that are important to you so that any resolution of the problem(s) is in alignment with your values and beliefs. We will move at the pace you feel comfortable with. A key factor in the success of therapy is the fit between you and your therapist. The trust you build with your therapist is the foundation of any progress you make. That's why I offer a free initial consultation via phone or video so you can experience how it feels to talk to me and see if it feels right for you. I can also make sure that I can offer what you're looking for.

We all just want to feel comfortable in our own skin. We want to live our lives feeling inspired, happy, and purposeful. Somewhere along the way we may have sought out external things to achieve this goal: drugs, alcohol, relationships, jobs, social circles, money, status, etc. These things work for a little while…until they don’t. We finally get to a place where we realize we need help turning inward. We become willing to examine our trauma and core wounds and heal from what is in the way of us emerging into our fullest selves. This is where transformation begins. I am deeply committed to helping men, women and families overcome addiction, heal trauma and thrive in the face of mood disorders. I am a Clinical Social Worker who utilizes trauma-informed Psychotherapy and EMDR therapy to help clients experience authentic transformation. I use a compassionate and direct approach with my clients to promote healing and connection. Although it may be hard to imagine, it’s possible to feel comfortable in your skin. You can heal from your addiction. You can thrive with your mental illness. You can achieve a purposeful and inspired life. I’d be honored to walk with you on that journey.

Each person has the gifts needed to take on any challenge. Sometimes people just need a little help unlocking those gifts. That is where I come in. I am here to support and empower you from the very first counseling session. A licensed marriage and family therapist and a chemical dependency counselor, I work with individuals and couples on a variety of issues. Some include conflict, sexual or parenting issues, and those struggling with addiction and dealing with the criminal justice system. I also work individually with clients struggling with dependency in areas of opioids, stimulants, cannabinoids, and alcohol use disorders, and those struggling with anxiety, depression, physical trauma, and emotional abuse. I have worked with various faiths and sexual orientations. I am not here to judge you. I want to help you create positive change using the tools you already have inside of you. I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings, including private practice, a public mental health agency, and the criminal justice system. I have supervised counselors and developed treatment programs including trauma-informed group programs, cognitive-behavioral groups, and outpatient drug and alcohol treatment offerings. I have more than 15 years of experience. I take an interactive approach to therapy, treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Together, we will focus on your needs and skills. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, family systems, and dialectical behavioral techniques. I will tailor dialogue and treatment to your unique needs and goals. It is not always easy to take that first step in receiving therapy. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life. You can do this. I am here to help.

As a queer, neurodivergent man, I understand the unique issues of identity exploration and mental health as they relate to intersectionality. Alec Leerburger-Mahl is a Licensed Marriage and (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)) and social worker with 7 years of experience. He is a supportive therapist who helps individuals struggling with anxiety, overthinking, or self-doubt, especially in the queer community. He offers a safe space to process emotions, tackle challenges, and build confidence. Whether it’s relationships, career stress, or self-advocacy, Alec works with clients to develop strategies for growth and resilience.

Strong emotions like stress, anger, fear, frustration and feeling stuck sabotage our sense of well-being. But they are important information, these feelings. They tell us something needs to change! Working with a therapist can offer a different perspective and skills we may need to turn things around. Whether the problem is within ourselves or in our important relationships, lots of healthy tools are available to create ease, build self-confidence, and help you clarify your values. Addictions, anxiety, depression, and other negative behavior patterns are our body's way of trying to cope, though we know they create more distress. Learning to breathe, observe, and shift to healthier choices in coping with problems is not only possible, it is transforming. Sometimes I do this skill-building outdoors in nature. The Japanese call this "forest bathing". I often meet clients at Wild Basin Preserve or on paddle boards in Austin area lakes.

I help people make sense of the moments when life stops feeling manageable. Many of my clients are couples who love each other but can’t stop hurting each other, individuals healing from betrayal, or professionals who have achieved success but lost their sense of meaning. My style is warm, grounded, and depth-oriented. Together, we move beyond coping skills into understanding what your emotions and patterns are trying to tell you. Therapy isn’t just about getting through the hard parts, it’s about rediscovering yourself along the way.

You may have promised yourself this would be the last time. Maybe your partner has discovered another betrayal, your relationship is in crisis, or you've spent years trying to control sexual behaviors that continue despite the consequences. You may be successful in your career, devoted to your family, and still feel completely stuck in patterns you don't understand. At Iron Ridge Recovery, we believe meaningful recovery requires more than simply stopping a behavior. It requires understanding what drives it. Our specialized men's intensive outpatient program (IOP) helps men struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, often referred to as sex addiction. We look beyond the behavior to explore shame, emotional avoidance, attachment wounds, secrecy, compartmentalization, and the ways sexual behavior may have become a strategy for managing difficult emotions or unmet needs. Through structured group therapy, individual treatment, and experiential work, we help men recognize the patterns that lead to acting out, develop emotional regulation skills, practice honesty and accountability, rebuild healthy connection, and create a life that supports lasting recovery. Our approach is compassionate without minimizing the consequences of harmful behavior. Understanding why something happens does not remove responsibility for changing it. We also recognize that sexual betrayal can profoundly affect the people closest to someone struggling with compulsive sexual behavior. Our Partner & Family Program provides specialized, trauma-informed care for betrayed partners who may be experiencing anxiety, hypervigilance, confusion, loss of trust, and a disrupted sense of safety. Partners receive their own clinical support focused on stabilization, boundaries, empowerment, and healing. Their recovery matters independently of the choices their loved one makes. Iron Ridge was created to fill a gap in treatment for men who need more structure than traditional weekly therapy but do not require residential care. Our evening IOP in Austin allows men to engage in intensive clinical treatment while continuing to work, live at home, and participate in family life. Whether you're seeking help for your own behavior or trying to find your footing after betrayal, you deserve specialized care that takes the complexity of what you're experiencing seriously. **Recovery is not simply about what you stop doing. It's about understanding yourself, taking responsibility for your choices, and building something different.**

Many of the individuals and couples I work with are capable, thoughtful, and deeply caring—yet feel disconnected from themselves, their partner, or a deeper sense of meaning in their lives. Often, they’ve tried to “do all the right things,” but something essential still feels missing. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens not only through insight, but through embodied awareness, emotional honesty, and relational safety. I integrate depth-oriented psychotherapy with mindfulness and somatic awareness to help clients understand the patterns shaping their inner world and relationships—and to gently transform them. I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, and identity shifts. In couples therapy, I help partners move out of reactivity and disconnection and into greater presence, trust, and emotional intimacy. This includes strengthening communication, repairing emotional bonds, and rediscovering a sense of alignment and vitality in the relationship.

I am a licensed professional counselor associate whose practice is deeply rooted in a person-centered, humanistic approach. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, tailoring my therapeutic style to meet your unique needs and empowering you to live authentically.
