In the heart of North Texas, a revolutionary approach to sexual health and education is reshaping the lives of individuals and couples, thanks to the pioneering efforts of Dr. Tanginika-Simone Cuascud Vega, affectionately known as Dr. Tangie. As the founder and principal of Texas Sexual Health, Dr. Tangie has established a unique multidisciplinary practice that stands as the only one of its kind in North Texas, dedicated to addressing not just the physiological aspects but also the psychological and environmental causes behind sexual dissatisfaction.
Dr. Tangie’s journey into becoming a beacon of hope for many began with her comprehensive academic background. Holding a Doctorate in Human Sexuality from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Human Sexuality in San Francisco, CA, postdoctoral studies in neuroscience from Emory University, along with a Doctorate in Business Administration from Argosy University in Illinois, her educational pursuits are as diverse as they are profound. Moreover, her MBA from The Inter-American University of Puerto Rico and graduation from The Institute for Future Global Leaders at the University of the Virgin Islands in Saint Thomas have equipped her with an unparalleled foundation to lead within her field.
At Texas Sexual Health, Dr. Tangie adopts a sex-positive approach that integrates sex therapy, sexual medicine, pelvic health, and naturopathy. This holistic methodology ensures that individuals and couples—regardless of their sexual orientation or identity—receive comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs. Her work emphasizes finding solutions for sexual dysfunctions and intimacy concerns so people can live the sex life they envision and deserve.
Beyond her clinical practice, Dr. Tangie is deeply involved with several prestigious associations that underscore her commitment to advancing sexual health education globally. She is board certified by the American Board of Sexologists and serves on the Education Committee of the International Society on Sexual Medicine—a testament to her dedication to developing curricula and guidelines that enhance sexual medicine education worldwide. Additionally, her memberships with the World Association on Sexual Health and the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health further highlight her active participation in pushing boundaries within this space.
As an ambassador for the American Sexual Health Association and currently serving as VP for the Association of Hispanic Leaders, Dr. Tangie’s influence extends beyond academia into impactful leadership roles where she champions for change and greater awareness around sexual health issues.
Dr. Tangie’s passion for sex education stems from her belief that sex is an essential part of life—a view encapsulated by her motto, “Sex has no expiration date.” This philosophy drives her continuous efforts to educate older populations about maintaining a healthy sex life during aging; she is frequently invited by organizations such as AARP and The Senior Source to share her insights on sexual health among seniors.
Her contributions have not gone unnoticed; Dr. Tangie has been featured across numerous magazines, radio shows, TV programs, publications, and news outlets both in the USA and internationally—solidifying her status as a world-renowned expert in sexual health.
What sets Dr. Tangie apart is not just her extensive expertise but also how she embodies compassion through every facet of her work, whether it’s empowering individuals through education or advocating for healthier attitudes towards sexuality across all ages.
“TAKE THE STEPS TOWARDS A HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER LIFE!” With this rallying cry, Dr. Tanginika-Simone Cuascud Vega invites everyone into a journey towards embracing their sexuality without shame or fear but rather with knowledge empowerment at its core.
