Aleesa Sutton, MA Psych, RCC
clarity coaching (for couples)
divorce coaching (for individuals)
sex therapy (for individuals and couples)
I am calm and gentle, yet firm when needed. I work from a place of curiosity and compassion. My philosophy is: all emotions and feelings are ok; it’s the way people respond to their emotions that can be problematic. I help people figure out healthier ways to be in the world and in relationship.
I am also an Associate Therapist at the West Coast Centre for Sex Therapy.
