Jasper Lee, MA

Jasper brings a warm, grounded, and collaborative presence to therapy. At the heart of his approach is the belief that people are more than the problems that bring them into counseling. Rather than beginning from the assumption that something is wrong or needs to be fixed, Jasper works with clients to better understand where they are, clarify where they would like to be, and recognize the strengths, resources, and possibilities already available to them.

 

His approach is rooted in humanistic and Solution-Focused therapy and incorporates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, exposure-based interventions, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed parts work. Jasper adapts therapy to the individual, balancing thoughtful exploration with practical tools that clients can use in their everyday lives. He particularly enjoys helping clients develop a different relationship with anxiety by learning to understand and respond to difficult thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations rather than feeling controlled by them.

 

Jasper has experience working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and other periods of uncertainty or change. In his work with teens and young adults, he strives to create a space that feels genuine and collaborative, where clients can speak openly without feeling judged, analyzed, or pressured to be someone they are not.

 

Underlying Jasper’s work is a deep respect for each person’s capacity for growth. He sees therapy not simply as a place to reduce symptoms, but as an opportunity to discover what is already working, deepen self-understanding, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and meaningful.

 

Outside of the therapy room, Jasper enjoys spending time in nature, hiking among the redwoods and along the California coast, practicing mindfulness, and spending time with family, friends, and animals
