Therapies at Awkward Recovery: Tools for Real Progress.
Evidence-based therapies at Awkward Recovery Austin: EMDR, DBT, CBT, IFS, group, individual, family, trauma-informed. Real clinical care, not surface-level.
At Awkward Recovery, we know that no two recovery journeys are the same. That's why we offer a variety of therapies designed to meet you where you are
Whether you're in our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Austin, TX, or participating in our Outpatient Addiction Rehab, we focus on providing real tools that work for your unique path. Recovery isn’t easy or linear, but with the right support, you can find your way forward.
DBT Therapy: Balancing Emotions for Better Recovery.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps you manage those tough emotions that tend to come up during recovery. It’s not about shutting down your feelings—it’s about learning to balance them and respond in healthier ways. Whether it’s setting boundaries, managing stress, or simply staying grounded during tough moments, DBT gives you the tools to navigate your recovery with more confidence and less chaos.
Key Benefits:
- Learn to manage emotional ups and downs
- Build healthier relationships and boundaries
- Develop coping strategies for stress and triggers
EMDR Therapy: Processing Trauma, Moving Forward.
Trauma can make recovery feel impossible, constantly pulling you back into the past. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized therapy we use to help you confront and heal from those past traumas. EMDR works by guiding you through the process of reprocessing traumatic memories so they no longer have control over your present. It’s a powerful way to move forward with a clean slate.
Key Benefits:
- Heal from past trauma that impacts recovery
- Learn to process difficult memories in a safe environment
- Gain freedom from the emotional weight of trauma
Group Therapy: Connection and Support on Your Journey.
Recovery can feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. Group Therapy at Awkward Recovery provides a space where you can share, learn, and connect with others who understand what you’re going through. In group sessions, you’ll find support, accountability, and real human connection—all essential pieces of the recovery puzzle.
Key Benefits:
- Build a support network of peers on similar paths
- Share experiences and learn from others
- Gain strength from a shared sense of community

- Rebuild trust and communication within your family

Individual Therapy: Personal Focus with Group Support.
At Awkward Recovery, individual therapy serves as the foundation of our personalized treatment plans. Through one-on-one sessions with a dedicated therapist, you’ll explore the root causes of your addiction, develop coping strategies, and set personal recovery goals. This focused attention helps you work through deeper issues at your own pace.
To complement individual therapy, we integrate group therapy sessions where you can connect with peers, share experiences, and gain mutual support. This combination of personal and group interaction fosters accountability, community, and holistic healing, ensuring balanced progress in your recovery.
Internal Family Systems Therapy: Healing Through Self-Discovery.
We incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to help you explore and understand the different "parts" of yourself that contribute to addiction and emotional struggles. IFS focuses on uncovering the protective and wounded parts within you, allowing for healing and transformation from within.
Complementing this is group therapy, where you can share your insights from IFS in a supportive setting. This integration of personal exploration and group connection helps you develop self-awareness, resilience, and a sense of community during recovery.
At Awkward Recovery, we utilize Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help you tap into your own internal motivation for change. This client-centered therapy focuses on empowering you to make decisions about your recovery based on your personal goals and values. Through non-judgmental conversations, MI helps you overcome ambivalence and strengthens your commitment to sobriety.
Paired with group therapy, you’ll gain insight from others who are also navigating their recovery journey, offering mutual encouragement and building accountability in a supportive environment.
