Welcome to The Colorado Counselor Blog

Welcome to my blog! My name is Sarah James, "The Colorado Counselor" - www.TheColoradoCounselor.com. I look forward to sharing with you many of the aspects of counseling and therapy that I have learned over many years. I enjoy providing others with bits of information that can be used to cope with the trials of everyday life. Some topics may relate directly to you. Others may help you pass on information that may be helpful to someone whom you know are may care about. Sometimes, the information on my blog may simply be interesting to you. I hope you find information that is helpful, insightful, and, at the very least, interesting. And please feel free to visit my website at www.TheColoradoCounselor.com to learn about me and my Colorado counseling practice. Enjoy!
