Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Matters of intimacy can be physical in nature that, in some ways, connect with our emotional lives and can become more complicated as we grow into our relationships with others.

Sex Therapy
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I provide sex therapy for individuals and couples who want to improve intimacy, desire, communication, and overall sexual satisfaction. I have training in sex therapy, including education informed by Barry McCarthy’s work, which emphasizes healthy, pleasure focused sexuality rather than performance or pressure. My approach centers on helping people develop a more confident, connected, and realistic relationship with sex.
In therapy, we work to understand how stress, anxiety, shame, past experiences, medical concerns, or relationship dynamics may be affecting your sex life. This may include support with sexual dysfunction, desire differences, intimacy concerns, or difficulties communicating about sex. I help clients move away from goal driven or fear based sexual patterns and toward experiences that feel more relaxed, mutual, and fulfilling.
I also offer affirming sex therapy for LGBTQ individuals and couples, as well as those in non traditional or non monogamous relationships. Therapy provides a space to explore sexuality openly and respectfully, without judgment or assumptions, so that your sexual expression aligns with your values, comfort, and sense of connection.

Sex Therapy
Abbrielle Schenck
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-Associate
Sexual concerns are deeply personal and often shaped by shame, silence, or confusing messages about what your body, desires, or relationships are supposed to look like. Many clients come in carrying the weight of purity culture, religious or cultural expectations, or past experiences that taught them to disconnect from parts of themselves. I offer a safe, respectful space to explore issues related to desire, intimacy, boundaries, identity, and connection. My approach focuses on emotional safety, understanding root patterns, and building a healthier relationship with your body and sexuality. Whether you are navigating personal or relational struggles, you deserve care that is thoughtful, grounded, and nonjudgmental.

McAllen is the largest city in the Rio Grande Valley, a predominantly Spanish-speaking border region where the daily realities of life on the US-Mexico border—immigration, family separation, cross-border economic uncertainty, and the psychological stress of living in a highly scrutinized border community—shape the mental health landscape in ways that are unlike those of any other part of Texas. Spanish-language therapy is not merely preferred but essential in McAllen, and the demand for bilingual practitioners far outpaces supply in a region that is chronically underserved for mental health professionals per capita. The Rio Grande Valley ranks among the most underserved regions in the country for mental health care, and while health systems like DHR Health and South Texas Health System provide some behavioral health services, many residents go without needed support. Common therapy concerns include immigration-related anxiety and trauma, family separation stress, economic uncertainty, and the complex identity challenges of life in a bicultural, binational border community.
