Less Clinical Counseling - Human Experiences

​

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

​

• Therapy that feels less clinical and 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.

Our Approach With Horses

Our horses’ foundational training is grounded in relationship, trust, and emotional awareness. We view them as sentient partners—beings with their own perceptions, preferences, and responses in interactions with humans. Rather than expecting automatic compliance, our approach prioritizes safety, clear communication, and mutual understanding.

​

In this environment, horses are free to respond authentically—they may approach, move away, show curiosity, or set boundaries. Because they are not pressured or restricted in sessions they engage willingly and develop genuine relationships with participants, creating an authentic experience.

​

How Does This Become Therapy?

Horses model healthy relationships and emotional regulation, offering immediate, honest feedback about presence, boundaries, emotions and communication. By observing and interacting with the herd, clients experience and practice:

• Noticing subtle cues, socially and relationally 

• Respecting/Learning healthy boundaries

• Regulating emotional responses

• Disruption of dissociation 

• Nervous system regulation

• Emotional awareness and understanding

• Mindfulness, grounding and body awareness

This creates a powerful experiential learning environment. The therapist walks alongside the client, helping interpret experiences and supporting the application of insights to everyday relationships.

​

Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT)

In addition to our horses, therapy dogs and playful goats participate in some sessions:

• Therapy dogs support anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and grounding

• Goats provide playful, lighthearted interactions that help explore feelings and reduce stress

Animal-assisted work is fully guided by a licensed therapist and complements traditional therapy, providing experiential and relational support for clients of all ages.
