I’m Jesse McCowan, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and the founder of Sequoia Skye Psychotherapy. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, neurodivergence, relationship and self-esteem concerns, and challenges related to nervous system regulation. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should feel like a space where you can be understood without having to perform, minimize, or have everything figured out.

I draw from approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness, attachment-informed and psychodynamic perspectives, while adapting therapy to the individual in front of me. I’m particularly interested in helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, bodies, relationships, and environments, and developing practical tools that support meaningful change beyond the therapy room.

In addition to traditional psychotherapy, I offer equine-assisted therapy (EAT) for teens and adults who may benefit from a more experiential approach. Working alongside horses can provide opportunities to explore communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, self-awareness, relationships, and nervous system responses in a different way than traditional talk therapy. No previous horse experience is required, and sessions are adapted to the client’s comfort level and therapeutic goals.

My goal is not to tell you who you should be, but to help you better understand yourself, build a relationship with yourself that feels more supportive, and create a life that feels more like your own.
