Sex Therapy
Dr. Genevieve Marcel - Houston Sex Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LPC-Associate, CTP, CMMT, ABS
Sex therapy in my practice is for individuals who want to understand their sexual experience in a deeper and more integrated way. Many people seek this work when desire feels diminished, when sexuality no longer feels aligned with their inner life, or when sexual experience is accompanied by anxiety, conflict, or confusion.
Sexual concerns are approached as meaningful responses rather than defects. Rather than focusing narrowly on performance or technique, we explore what your sexual experience is responding to, protecting against, or expressing. In many cases, as understanding deepens, sexual symptoms shift or resolve as well.
I work with individuals navigating diminished desire, sexual shutdown, shame, avoidance, ambivalence, or tension between values, relationships, and embodied experience. The aim is not to bypass symptoms, but to understand them within the context of identity, agency, and meaning.
I do not offer advice or directives. This work is grounded in discernment rather than instruction, with clients remaining responsible for their choices and for how they live with them. Change tends to emerge through clarity and integration rather than prescription.
My approach integrates existential psychotherapy, phenomenology, and contemporary sexology, with attention to mindfulness and stoic perspectives where relevant. Sessions are relational and inquiry based, with careful attention to timing, dignity, and lived experience.
This approach is especially suited to individuals who want more than symptom management alone. Many find that as their experience becomes more intelligible and coherent, desire, intimacy, and sexual ease naturally shift.

Sex and intimacy concerns can be shattering to relationships. In therapy these can be addressed to uncover the root causation as well as learning how to be vulnerable and reach a level of satisfaction sexually with your partner.

Sex Therapy
Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
Sex therapy with me is a shame‑free space to talk about desire, arousal, pain, performance concerns, or feeling “shut down” sexually. We explore the intersections of trauma, culture, faith, and identity with your sexual story and use education, communication tools, and nervous‑system work to support more satisfying, authentic intimacy individually or with a partner.

Pasadena is an industrial city southeast of Houston whose economy is dominated by petrochemical refining and manufacturing along the Houston Ship Channel, and the mental health landscape here is shaped by the occupational stresses, environmental anxieties, and working-class pressures of a community built around the energy industry. The city has a large and growing Latino population, and Spanish-language therapy is increasingly important to meeting the mental health needs of the community. Harris County's public mental health system extends to Pasadena, though private therapy options are more limited than in central Houston. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, workplace and occupational stress, family and relationship difficulties, and the particular pressures of living in a community where industrial safety and environmental quality are ongoing concerns.
