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.

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.

    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.

  • 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.

    Recently had a chance to work with Dr. Saelee and the session was great. She is very patient, understanding, and a great listener. She has helped my family and I through our tough time and helped us communicated our feelings and thoughts clearly. Thank you Dr. Saelee.

    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 is terrific! Compassionate, knowledgeable, wise and helpful. She isn't one to sugar coat truth and that is exactly what I was looking for. Anyone would be in terrific hands under the care of Dr. Saelee. Oh and I did an emdr session via zoom and it was truly incredible...and worked!

    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!

    I could not possibly over stress what a life changing experience it was doing weekly therapy sessions with Dr Thaen over the last 9 months. I recently moved states and was heart broken to have to end my therapy sessions with Dr Thaen, but I feel so, so incredibly lucky to have had such a safe space to process through some of the most painful experiences of my life. She was unendingly patient, kind, empathetic and consistently offered her perspective with the framing of 'let me know if this connects with you', which made me feel so comfortable expressing if at times her read wasn't exactly on the mark. I felt so incredibly comfortable sharing experiences that I hadn't even voiced aloud to a single other human. I'm in such a better place in my life, and I can't help but express an incredible amount of gratitude for Dr. Thaen and her intuitive and inquisitive care. She met me with kindness at every turn and helped to unlock some of the unconscious patterns that had been a mystery to myself. I could not possibly recommend her more throughly!!
