Welcome to Fully Well!

Hi, I’m Dr. Jessica McCleese and I’m a licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist with special training in sex education from a Christian perspective. About 75-80% of what I do is marriage counseling and working with intimacy concerns. I’m passionate about helping Christians enjoy a fulfilling marriage. I truly believe that God can restore those that experience pain in their sexual intimacy. I have proof from others I’ve worked with and from my own experiences.

A little more about me

I started working with couples during my training for my doctorate degree. It didn’t take long to see that couples (and often times, each individual in the couple relationship) needed healing for past pains. Some needed healing from faulty teaching and beliefs, while others need healing from past trauma or difficult relationships.

While I was still in training for my doctorate, I started working toward my certification as a sex therapist through the American Board of Christian Sex Therapists. I’ve also gained training for providing Christian-based sex education through the Christian Association of Sexual Educators. I’m also on the advisory board at Millennials for Marriage – a group that aims to encourage millennials to be equipped for marriage. Right now, I’m working with a colleague to write a book all about sex and the Christian marriage and I’m also working with my student to write a video-based course to help parents and pastors talk to teens about sex.

I’ve been married to my best friend since July of 2009. We always tell people that we’ve had several good years and 1-2 that were pretty bad. Since we have spent and continue to spend most of our marriage with one or both of us in school, we’ve had to learn how to make fun and quality time together a priority. One of our favorite ways to connect is over coffee and a good book, but we also love movies and aim to travel more as time allows.

Hi there, I'm Dr. Jessica McCleese and I'm glad you stopped by.

I love to help couples find joy in their marriage. I fully believe that couples are happier when they're working on themselves as individuals and also working on their relationship as a couple. Thankfully, even when there is individual work needed, couples can help one another in this process. I hope you'll allow me to journey with you as you learn how to love your spouse well!
