My practice centers around providing clients with the skills that they need to thrive in the face of stressful situations. Prior to entering private practice, I worked as a clinical psychologist on the spinal cord injury unit at TIRR. These individuals would have never otherwise sought mental health care but were faced with one of the most stressful and challenging experiences of their lives. My role was to help these individuals to effectively cope with serious, adverse medical events and to live happy, fulfilling lives. Likewise, in my private practice, I strive to help clients successfully navigate complex situations.

If you are anything like me when I was in my lowest place, I sought therapy. Nobody helped me identify the root, they only focused on the surface issues. It seemed to add more suffering on top of an already distraught situation. Suffering sucks! Life was made for living. I was tired of losing out because of what others had done to me or because I couldn’t get the solutions to my issues! If you are committed to your healing and recovery, I will take you through every step of the process to go from victim to victor! It is so exciting to be able to assist those who are tired of suffering and losing years and decades of their lives.

Healing is not just my profession it is my calling. From the depths of my soul, I believe that true transformation happens when the mind, body, and spirit are aligned. A faith-based therapist, I walk alongside those who are burdened by depression, anxiety, PTSD, and the scars of childhood trauma, guiding them toward healing, hope, and renewal.
My ideal client is someone who carries deep emotional wounds perhaps from childhood trauma, toxic relationships, or overwhelming life experiences. They may struggle with persistent anxiety that keeps them trapped in fear, depression that dims their hope, or PTSD that replays painful memories.

Genevieve Marcel - Houston Sex Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, CTP, CMMT, ABS

Houston Sex Therapy for intimacy, desire & existential psychotherapy.
Many people come to sex therapy for low desire or to better understand themselves when something no longer feels aligned. You may love your partner, yet feel distant in the relationship or within yourself. I work with individuals navigating desire, intimacy, anxiety & questions of meaning when sexual experience feels misaligned. Sexual concerns often carry meaning rather than dysfunction. My approach integrates existential therapy with mindfulness & stoicism. Sex therapy is rarely about technique & more often about understanding what has been silenced.

I have been working with adults and teens facing developmental trauma, substance abuse and personality disorders since 2019, utilizing training in trauma-focused CBT, DBT, EFT and Phase 1 Brainspotting (to name a few) to provide effective, tailored treatment and intervention for healing and growth.
If you and your partner keep having the same arguments or feel more like roommates than teammates, it can create distance, frustration, and emotional exhaustion. When communication breaks down, old wounds resurface and trust can begin to feel fragile. I help couples slow things down, understand the patterns beneath conflict, and rebuild emotional safety and connection. Whether you’re navigating a recent rupture or years of growing apart, therapy can support you in turning toward each other again with clarity and care.
