Lifeworks Recovery

What Lifeworks Recovery does

Lifeworks Recovery (legal name: LifeWorks Recovery Counseling Center) is a Dallas-based, privately-held counseling practice founded in 2016 that delivers trauma-informed individual and couples therapy, with a specialization in compulsive sexual behavior, betrayal trauma, and intimacy/relationship concerns. The practice operates under the proprietary STEADY Method™, a registered six-step attachment-based, trauma-informed framework (Stabilize & Settle, Tell the Truth, Ease the Impact, Address & Own, Draw Close, Yours to Keep) that integrates Gottman Method, Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy, Dan Siegel's neurobiology, Bessel van der Kolk's somatic approaches, and Patrick Carnes' recovery framework. Service delivery is led by CSAT- and CPTT-credentialed clinicians (Chris Lorenc, Jeremy Hogg, Maddisson Elizardo) from a single Dallas physical office with secure telehealth extending across Texas.

The practice runs a tiered service portfolio: weekly individual and couples counseling sessions billed out-of-network with superbills for client reimbursement; seven private weekend intensives (Restore, Rebuilding Trust, Safe Harbor, Sex Addiction, Betrayal Trauma, Reclaim, From Wounds to Wisdom) at 16- and 20-hour formats with quote-based pricing; monthly workshops including Betrayal to Becoming and a $350 Anxiety & Stress Management Workshop; and two weekly therapist-led process groups (Problematic Sexual Behavior Group and Betrayal Trauma Group). Three free confidential self-assessments (Relationship Pattern Assessment, Online Behavior Screening, Sexual Behavior Screening) serve as inbound lead-generation tools.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with no third-party distribution, no B2B contracts, no app, and no public funding. Marketing is concentrated on content-led organic search, educational blog content, free consultations, and a Texas-wide telehealth footprint (Dallas HQ plus San Antonio and El Paso coverage). Pricing is gated behind consultation rather than publicly disclosed for sessions and intensives, consistent with the premium, consultation-led positioning of the niche specialty.

Broad incumbents

• Talkspace: Large public telehealth therapy platform connecting users to licensed therapists via messaging and video. Overlaps LifeWorks as a Texas-licensed telehealth counseling provider but lacks the niche sexual-behavior specialization.
• BetterHelp: Largest consumer online therapy marketplace owned by Teladoc. Comparable as a virtual counseling distribution channel reaching Texas clients, though positioned as a generalist rather than specialty behavioral health practice.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: National nonprofit addiction treatment provider offering residential, outpatient, and telehealth programs. Comparable in treating process/behavioral addictions under established clinical frameworks and overlaps LifeWorks' 12-Step and Carnes-influenced methodology.
• Cerebral: Telehealth mental health platform offering therapy and medication management across anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Comparable as a scaled virtual behavioral health provider reaching Texas consumers, though focused on common psychiatric conditions rather than specialized addiction work.
• Headspace Health: Mental health platform combining the Headspace consumer app with Ginger's on-demand therapy/coaching. Comparable as a broad mental health delivery model serving individuals across geographies, with overlap on anxiety, stress, and relationship-adjacent concerns.

Direct peers

• Two Chairs: Bay Area-based therapy practice that combines ongoing weekly sessions with structured 'focus' intensives. Highly comparable to LifeWorks' hybrid model of weekly counseling plus 16/20-hour weekend intensives under a unified clinical framework.
• Workit Health: Direct-to-consumer digital substance use disorder treatment provider offering virtual therapy, medication management, and recovery support. Comparable to LifeWorks in combining addiction-focused clinical care with recovery coaching/peer support components.
• Charlie Health: Telehealth-first intensive outpatient program for teens and young adults struggling with mental health and substance use. Comparable to LifeWorks in its intensive, multi-hour episode-of-care model and behavioral health positioning.
• Sandstone Care: Adolescent and young adult substance use and mental health treatment provider with multiple levels of care including IOP and outpatient. Comparable in trauma-informed, attachment-aware specialty behavioral health treatment beyond generic counseling.
• Monument: Online alcohol use disorder treatment platform delivering therapy, medication, and community via telehealth. Comparable as a direct-to-consumer, cash-pay behavioral health/addiction brand targeting adults with a stigmatized condition.
