Why Avid?

Dr. Saelee is wonderful! She is incredibly knowledgable and compassionate and provides useful tools, techniques and resources to approach your healing in a way that is wholesome to you. Lovely person and therapist, would highly recommend!

I worked with both Thaen and Jason at Avid Counseling. With Thaen, I was pursuing EMDR which was surprisingly easy through virtual counseling. She is incredibly thoughtful, clearly pays close attention her clients, and very easy to work with. I really appreciated Jason's motivational parenting approach and saw very fast results in how I engage with and ensure they have a supported and bonded relationship as they grow. Highly recommend working with either of these therapists.

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.

Dr.Saelee is a wonderful practitioner who has challenged me in many ways over the past 9 months. She's been someone who I've recommended to friends, and trust to always bring her best self to our sessions. She's always open to adjusting her working style to suit my needs, brings different modalities to our sessions to find what works best, and is constantly improving her work through her continued education in her field (not to mention that she's a published author!). I would recommend her to anyone and has been a force of change in my life.

This review is for anyone struggling with life's challenges and feeling hesitant to share their feelings with a therapist. I was once in that position, but reaching out to Avid Counseling was one of the best decisions I ever made. I was deeply troubled, and my anxiety was overwhelming. Jason Wilcox immediately put me at ease, providing a safe and supportive environment to explore the source of my emotions. I've gained valuable self-awareness and practical tools to support my continued personal growth. I'm proud of myself for taking that step, and I hope this review encourages others seeking help. You're already on the right path.
