Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists in Marble Falls, TX
People have always been my passion. They fascinate me…what makes them happy and helps them connect to others or how they have been hurt. All people need connections. When one person has problems, everyone in the family is affected. Each person needs to tell their story, to feel heard and validated. We need to be able to share our thoughts and emotions, and sometimes, we need a little help being able to express our needs and feelings. Good communication is key!

Accepting new clients starting 9/15. Hi, I’m Marie, and I’m really glad you found me. I’m here for the ones who’ve always felt a little different, a little out of place, the “oddballs” who don’t see themselves reflected in the world around them. Life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, and I’m not going to pretend it is. But just because it’s hard doesn’t mean you’re powerless or going to feel this way forever. My goal is to help you find your power by showing you that you can still grow despite the challenges you face. I want to help you believe in the possibility of happiness again, even if you’re not sure what that looks like.

Life's a journey, with many unexpected twists and turns. Sometimes we need someone to talk to, someone to share our thoughts and feelings, dreams and fears, and help guide us toward resolution. I want to help my clients navigate this path, and to also experience the possibilities of living their best life possible. I work with older teens and adults, and also specialize in women's issues across the lifespan, as well as those with health concerns. College students are a special interest, as are educators, as I’ve worked as a teacher and school counselor and understand the stress and dynamics associated with the profession.

I work with thoughtful, capable, high-functioning adults who spend much of their lives caring for others, solving complex problems, or creating meaningful work. On the outside, they often appear successful and composed. Internally, many feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in painful relationship patterns, or exhausted from carrying so much alone. I especially enjoy working with people in intellectually and creatively demanding fields, including healthcare professionals, scientists, musicians, engineers, and other deeply curious, driven individuals who want therapy that feels both emotionally grounded and intellectually engaging.

Life is f&$%ing exhausting. It keeps piling up like Tetris, and you know you can't afford a break, but sometimes your brain just switches off and you realize you’ve been staring blankly at a screen for an hour.

Many of the adults I work with feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns shaped by stress, trauma, or difficult relationships. You may be functioning well on the outside while struggling internally with anxiety, depression, or a sense that something isn’t quite right. My clients are often looking for deeper change, not just coping. I offer trauma-informed therapy integrating somatic awareness, attachment work, and experiential approaches. Sessions are available via tele-health, in-office, or through equine-assisted psychotherapy for those drawn to working with horses.

What if therapy could help you be less reactive, feel more empowered, and experience more hopeful interactions in your relationship? What if you could stay centered and speak for what you want and need, regardless of another person’s reaction? As a family therapist specializing in Internal Family Systems, or IFS, I seek to help individuals, couples, and families to explore, hear, and heal all the important, and often unrecognized, parts of themselves which influence every reaction and every choice. This inward focus removes the dependency on another person to achieve progress, opening up new possibilities for growth and change.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who grew up in environments that were emotionally unsafe, neglectful or abusive. Outwardly they appear capable and competent. Inside, they struggle with impacts of old wounds– anxiety, shame, chronic stress, disconnection from self and others– afraid of what happens inside of themselves.
You may be at a crossroads. Maybe your reactions don't make rational sense to you or your loved ones, or old coping skills no longer cut it. It can be terrifying and lonely to weather the storm happening inside. It can also be a critical moment to expand into a deeper version of yourself.

Are you feeling frustrated, exhausted, and dissociated from your partner, your kids, or your life as a whole? This may be stemming from betrayal, disconnection, infertility, or loss of identity, creating a seemingly unbreakable cycle of miscommunication and hurt. When you constantly feel misunderstood or unseen, it can be difficult to keep negative thoughts at bay. Often it feels easier to avoid and emotionally disengage rather than sit in the discomfort. You may be unsure why you feel this way, how to stop unhelpful behaviors, or how to meet your needs along with everyone else’s – and nothing you try seems to be working.

Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists
Why might an individual want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
A sex-positive or kinky individual may want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist because the client may feel safer and more supported discussing their experiences and challenges. A therapist who identifies as kink-friendly will have experience with clients having diverse sexual preferences and will likely be nonjudgmental and supportive about issues brought to the table. It is important to note that sex-positive, kink-allied individuals may find equal success with therapists who do not have such specialized knowledge and background. The most important factor in the success of therapy is for the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond.
Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in sex-positive, kink-allied treatment?
Generally, no. There are limited training programs and unofficial accreditations that therapists can pursue, but a therapist’s expertise will ultimately come from their previous experience with similar clients, their engagement with organizations that promote sex positivity or kink-allied lifestyles, and the importance they place on safety and cultural sensitivity.
How can individuals recognize a good sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?
An experienced therapist is able to help clients explore their sexual identity and expression and relieve any discomfort or stigma attached to discussing such matters and the client’s overall challenges. A therapist who is sex-positive and kink-allied is able to create an environment that honors a client’s experience and sexual preferences. To recognize a good therapist, clients can simply ask directly about topics and issues important to them and gauge their comfort level and connection with a clinician based on the responses.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist with a focus on sex positivity and alternative sexual lifestyles?
Some individuals may feel most comfortable knowing that the clinician they’re working with has a commitment to creating an atmosphere of sex positivity and has experience with relationship diversity and alternative relationship structures. Working with a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist may help clients respect their own challenges and improve identity-affirming treatment.
