Help for Problematic Sexual Behaviors

Karen Lawson, MPH, PhD

For the past 30 years I have helped individuals within the greater Houston area manage problematic sexual behavior. I understand this issue and believe that my experience and training, together with being given the opportunity to understand your story, can achieve good results.


I am a Licensed Psychologist in Texas, and have a specialty area of treating individuals with chronic or problem sexual behaviors.  I work with adults, couples and families. I believe that after only a few visits you can start engaging in much healthier behavior patterns.


Often, when there are excesses of behavior going on in someone’s life, there are factors beneath it which need to be discovered and talked about. I am trained to do this, and I enjoy this type of work. I would enjoy helping you put healthier habits back into your life, as well as help you see a bright and meaningful pathway forward.


I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Arizona, a Master of Public Health degree in community mental health from the UT School of Public Health, and a PhD in clinical psychology from Florida State University. I have been a practicing psychologist in Houston for the past 30 years. When not working I like to spend time with family, travel, and go on walks with my two golden retrievers.
