The first time I spoke to Dr. Thiem I was panicking over an upcoming exam. The way she not only de-escalated me, but helped me pinpoint new and specific studying techniques was life-saving! Because of her simple yet extraordinarily effective studying tips I found myself looking forward to studying. It even became fun to study, which is something I’ve always dreaded. This being said as a scholar with a master degree from a private university.

I have only had a few sessions with Dr. Thiem but from the start I felt and ease and connection with her. I am used to traditional therapy in an office so I was worried about not having that designated space. But within a few weeks I have felt comfortable, at ease, and excited for all of my appointments. I'm shocked that I was able to find a counselor I liked so quickly on this platform!
