You’ve tried to push through it—but it’s not working
The same thoughts, feelings, or patterns keep coming back—no matter what you do.

You might feel stuck in your own head, constantly overthinking or worrying.
Or disconnected—going through the motions but not really feeling much.
Maybe you’ve tried to ignore it, stay busy, or figure it out on your own—but nothing seems to actually fix it.
That’s not because you’re broken. It’s because the patterns driving it haven’t been fully understood or changed yet.
You’re not the only one this happens to—and it’s more fixable than you think.

This is exactly what we help you do.

Therapy that fits your life

Therapy shouldn’t add more stress to your day. Virtual sessions make it easier to show up consistently, stay comfortable, and focus on what actually matters—making progress. Clients prefer virtual once they try it.

What we help with

You don’t need to fit into a category—you just need help with what you’re going through. Here are some of the most common things we help people work through:

illustrated icon representing anxiety

Anxiety & Overthinking

You feel stuck in your own head—constantly thinking, worrying, or replaying things. It’s hard to relax, even when nothing is wrong.

illustrated icon representing trauma

Trauma & Emotional Triggers (EMDR Certified)

Past experiences still show up in the present—through anxiety, stress, or reactions that don’t fully make sense.

Feeling Down or Alone

You feel low, disconnected, or alone—even when you’re around others. It’s hard to feel motivated, and things that used to matter don’t feel the same anymore.

illustrated icon representing chronic pain

Feeling Disconnected or Numb

You’re going through the motions, but not really feeling much. Things that used to matter don’t feel the same anymore.

illustrated icon representing cultural and identity support

Repeating Patterns

You find yourself stuck in the same thoughts, reactions, or situations—even when you try to change them.

Relationships & Communication

You struggle to feel understood, heard, or connected—whether in relationships, family, or everyday interactions.

If one of these sounds like you, we can help you work through it.

What makes this different

Most people don’t need more advice—they need to understand what’s actually going on and how to change it. That’s what we focus on.

You learn tools you can actually use

Each session gives you something practical you can apply in your real life—so you’re not just thinking about change, you’re actually making it.

Things finally start to click

Our approach is grounded in proven methods like CBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed care.

    Thaen was my therapist for about (maybe over!) a year. We had to end our sessions due to changes in my insurance, and it has been bittersweet ending having to close the chapter on our client-therapist relationship. But I am so happy for the next people who have the greatest pleasure to have Thaen as a therapist. Thaen has helped me immeasurably understanding my identity and power as a person of color. She has helped me overcome some of my most challenging insecurities, and my experience of the world is vastly different than it was a year ago. I am grateful for our time together. I can't recommend her enough. Thank you, Thaen!

    Truely enjoyed my time with my therapist from Avid counseling. I have a much more dynamic relationship with my young son using the skills I learned here. Identifying my beliefs in my own life and understanding them with my reactions has opened my mind to a new way of thinking through my experiences. A new way to process my beliefs of myself and the feelings surrounding them. Thank you Avid counseling.

  • Charity was thoughtful, personable, and really allowed me to do the work myself. She was always there to guide me (or call me out when necessary) but it was at my pace and always with my well being in mind. A great experience overall and I highly recommend Avid.

    Dr Saelee was so wonderful. She helped me figure out what I was doing was helpful for my issues. But she also added some important information that I hadn’t thought of. Gave me some stress related exercises to help me through times when I could feel the tension in my shoulders. She was professional. Easy to talk to & could understand exactly what I was going through. I will definitely contact her in the future when issues arise that I need clarification with. It felt great to have someone to talk to. Thank you again Dr Saelee for all your support.

    It is no exaggeration when I say that Dr. Saelee saved my life. I have tried therapy a few times in the past and found that it didn’t work for me … I’d also been straight up rejected by a few therapists, not that I can blame them. At the time I was struggling with substance-abuse issues, dangerously volatile mood swings and a highly unstable sense of self, amongst other undiagnosed mental disorders. That is until I started seeing Thaen in November. She was willing to take a chance on me. She helped me get sober, and was patient with me as I struggled to achieve that. She gave me diagnoses that finally made sense of the difficulty that I’ve experienced my entire life just trying to navigate everyday interactions and challenges. And she gave me so many incredibly tools to help mitigate that difficulty. Dr. Thaen Saelee is the best thing that has happened to me and I am grateful every single day for everything that she has done for me. I am genuinely excited for anyone that has the pleasure of working with her.

  • I grew immensely in our time together. More so than any other therapist I've ever had. We parted ways months ago because of insurance issues and I'm currently shopping for new insurance so I can get back into sessions with Thaen. The time was invaluable.

    Been with Dr Thaen for about 3 months and it’s been a great blessing to have found her during this time in my life. Typically I hear a lot a stories about how therapists do not listen and don’t give you tools to work with during crisis. That wasn’t the case with Dr Thaen. I could talk for 30 mins and she heard every word I said. Gives me her input and tools to use to combat my crisis and it works. I’ve shared some of her tools with friends and it even worked for them. What ever you may be going through, I’m sure Dr Thaen can help. If not, I’m sure she can lead you in the right direction. Don’t miss this opportunity for guidance and effective tools to better your circumstance.

    I saw Dr. Saelee for a year and a half. During that time, we worked on my anxiety and depression. I had a lot of issues I had to work on and saw many improvements with the help of Dr. Saelee. She was patient with me and taught me different techniques to change my way of thinking or reframing and I always end up feeling better after each session. I highly recommend Dr. Saelee if you need help in mental health pertaining to anxiety, depression, stress relief or simply needing someone to talk to.
