Less Clinical Counseling – Human Experiences

​

Therapy for those who want to feel understood—not analyzed.
A space where you can show up as you are and work through what matters most.

​

A full-service counseling practice offering traditional office-based therapy with a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, along with equine-assisted (EAP/EAT) and animal-assisted (AAT) therapy for those who benefit from experiential work.

 

• Therapy that centers on YOU as a unique human •

Here at Scarlett Tree Ranch, we create a relaxed, welcoming environment where conversations can have deeper meaning. We see you as a multi-faceted human being beyond diagnoses, believing that healing comes through connection, understanding, and authentic experience.

About Jessica L. Lee, LMFT

I believe in merging humanity with psychotherapy in a less clinical style. Do you need a therapist who will listen, empathize, and not treat you like a diagnosis? Then I'm your therapist—human and accepting of your individual experiences. I see you and want to know how you see yourself and the world. I want to help guide you through processing the difficult stuff.

​

A Less Clinical Approach—Grounded in Real Therapy

While sessions are designed to feel relaxed and human-centered, they are still grounded in evidence-based practices.

Depending on your needs, therapy may integrate:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Internal Family Systems (IFS / parts work)

• Family Systems Therapy

• Trauma-informed and attachment-based approaches

• Somatic awareness and emotional regulation

These approaches are woven into sessions naturally—so therapy feels meaningful and personal, not rigid or formulaic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Traditional Office-Based Therapy

​In-office sessions provide a comfortable, relaxed space for deeper conversation, reflection, and processing. This setting allows for more traditional therapeutic work while still maintaining our less clinical, more human-centered approach.

 

We draw from a variety of approaches, including:

• Talk therapy for processing thoughts, emotions, and life experiences

• Trauma-informed and attachment-based work

• Family systems therapy

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

• Somatic awareness and emotional regulation

• Internal Family Systems/Parts Work (IFS)

Sessions are guided by your goals, your pace, and what feels most meaningful to you.

Our Approach With Horses

Our horses are raised and work in a relationship-centered, at-liberty environment, meaning they are free to respond authentically rather than perform tasks.

They may approach, move away, show curiosity, or set boundaries—offering real-time feedback about presence, emotion, and communication.

​

How Does This Become Therapy?

Through interaction with the herd, clients practice:

• Emotional awareness and regulation

• Boundaries and communication

• Nervous system regulation

• Mindfulness and grounding

This creates a powerful experiential environment where insight is felt, not just talked about. The therapist walks alongside you, helping translate these experiences into meaningful change.

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT)

In addition to our horses, therapy dogs and goats may be part of the process:

• Therapy dogs support anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation

• Goats offer playful, engaging interactions that reduce stress and encourage expression

All animal-assisted work is guided by a licensed therapist and integrated thoughtfully into sessions.
