Inspiring Conversations with Sarah James of The Counseling Place at Lone Tree

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sarah James.

Hi Sarah, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I started my my private counseling practice in 2007. I always knew this was what I wanted to do. I wanted to do rewarding work and have an impact on greater humanity. I chose Lone Tree, because it was a growing community. When I opened the doors to The Counseling Place at Lone Tree, I didn’t know that I was going to be full so quickly. I spent years trying to do it on my own. I finally got to the point that I realized that I needed to start bringing other therapists who had a similar vision into my practice. Since then, Masters level interns all the way to fully licensed therapists have helped our clients thrive. We try to make therapy accessible to everyone.

Each of our therapists are highly trained. They continue honing their skills through collaboration, consultation, and trainings. We are always learning and staying on the cutting edge of therapeutic modalities that make the biggest impact in helping our clients live their best life.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
A large part of my journey was learning business. I enjoy this aspect of my practice. It is a challenge and constantly evolving. Of course, there has been bumps along the way. That is life and it is business. I have enjoyed navigating through them. It has helped me come out the other side feeling more wise and confident.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
The Counseling Place at Lone Tree is a group therapy practice. We help children, teens, adults, couples, and families live their best life. For nearly two decades, we have helped thousands of people transcend hardships and grow. We are known for being highly effective therapists. We do this by always staying on the cutting edge of therapy. We train ourselves in highly effective therapeutic modalities and work to master them.

Our focus is connection with our clients. We strive to build a strong relationship. Research shows that the relationship a client has with their therapist is extremely important in achieving positive outcomes.

We have interns, pre-licensed therapists, and seasoned licensed therapists. We offer sliding fee scales, and a few of our therapists accept insurance. We want therapy to be accessible to everyone who wants to come in.

What does success mean to you?
I think success is when someone has traveled through life, learned a lot on the way, and come out the other side feeling self-aware, skilled, confident, happy, and kind.
