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.

Jennifer Pinkerton
Therapist, M.S., LMFT, CTP, C-PD
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
Kasey Scharnett King
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S, CST
Sex therapy focuses on improving intimacy, communication, and understanding around sexual concerns. Clients often seek sex therapy when physical or emotional intimacy feels strained, confusing, or disconnected. This may include concerns related to desire differences, sexual avoidance, performance anxiety, communication about needs, or the impact of stress and life transitions on intimacy.
Our work in sex therapy is respectful, structured, and grounded in helping clients understand how emotional safety, communication, and relationship patterns influence sexual connection. Therapy provides a space to talk openly, reduce shame, and build a healthier, more intentional relationship with intimacy.

Sex Therapy
Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Sex therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, relationships, and just being a sexual person. Therapy may address challenges such as desire discrepancies, communication around intimacy, sexual anxiety, body image concerns, pain during sex, life transitions, identity exploration, or the impact of stress and past experiences on intimacy. Grounded in education, emotional awareness, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, sessions are tailored to each couple’s unique values, goals, and experiences. Sex therapy affirms that sexuality is a meaningful part of overall well-being and supports clients in developing greater confidence, connection, communication, and comfort within themselves and their relationships.

Pearland is a fast-growing suburb south of Houston, notably diverse — with large Asian-American, Black, and Latino professional communities — and popular with Texas Medical Center staff who commute to the world's largest medical complex. Mental health needs center on healthcare-worker burnout, achievement-oriented family pressure, and hurricane and flood anxiety after Harvey's regional trauma. Houston's enormous therapy market sits next door.
