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.

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.

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.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Sex is one of the most intimate parts of a relationship, but when something isn’t working, it can lead to distance, frustration, and shame. As a Certified Sex Therapist with specialized training in helping individuals and couples improve their sexual connection, I offer a space where you can talk openly and work through what’s getting in the way.
Whether you’re dealing with erectile dysfunction, premature or delayed ejaculation, vaginismus, low desire, or pain during sex, these issues can take a toll on both you and your relationship. You’re not alone—and there are ways to work through it. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on emotionally, physically, and relationally, and develop tools to help you feel more connected, confident, and present.
I'm also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), and I work with people navigating sexual compulsivity, porn addiction, and out-of-control sexual behaviors. If your relationship with sex feels overwhelming or secretive, therapy can help you gain clarity, control, and a healthier sense of intimacy.
Sex therapy isn’t about judgment—it’s about helping you build the kind of sexual life and connection that feels good, meaningful, and true to who you are.
