  • Great time with my therapist. Got some great tool to apply on my day to that will lead me to live a full life

    Jason was a fantastic therapist that really helped show me how I can help myself. To have a therapist that asked questions rather than tell you how to feel was amazing. He helped me learn how my kids brains were growing and learning the emotional sides, and even helped me through my divorce. All around an absolute awesome guy and a great business.

    Dr. Saelee has been a true blessing for me and my healing journey. I entered therapy unsure of the outcome. It was a scary step to take. However my fear was quickly alleviated when I was met with Dr. Saelees's practice. She was patient, compassionate and understanding. She gave me all the tools and techniques I needed to turn my life around. Dr. Saelee has a way of holding you accountable while still validating you and encouraging you to be the best version of yourself. She is truly gifted. I highly recommend Dr. saelee and her practice.

  • Dr. Thaen Saelee was helpful, attentive and encouraged me to slow down and create space in my life for myself and living my values. She helped me to identify and work against negative self judgments, and overall helped me lift myself to a better mood and outlook on myself and my life. At the end of sessions she was always great about asking for feedback, and I really enjoyed my conversations with her. Cannot recommend highly enough.

    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.

    Dr. Saelee has been so helpful in my therapy journey! Her style working through EMDR and somatic techniques has been really impactful. I really appreciate her asking guiding and validating questions that help me better understand how and why I'm feeling what I feel.

    I was looking to begin therapy for the first time in my life, and I am so grateful to have found Dr. Saelee and her practice. She is professional, patient, and receptive. She begins each session with a very welcoming energy, and she lets you choose the pace and direction of each session. Dr. Saelee also prioritizes your feedback, and I found that she applies your feedback as soon as you share it with her. Not only is Dr. Saelee an empathetic listener, but she also works with you to share the right tools and knowledge to help you address and make progress on whatever you seek to fix or change. I would highly recommend Dr. Saelee to anyone who is looking for a therapist that can help you in becoming the best version of yourself.

    Can't thank Jason enough!! He brought me and my family out of such a dark and hopeless feeling time. He gave me the tools needed to fix many issues and my family is now thriving! If you're on the fence about starting therapy, don't hesitate. Book a session because things can and do get better and it'll change your life for the better.
