Starting therapy?
Meet the Team
How do you find a therapist you trust and has the skill set to help you through this time? How do you know that your therapist will have the expertise you need to grow, heal, and create the necessary change you need in your life? Through our process, we personally connect you with the therapist who will best fit your needs. We do not do this through a lengthy process. We connect you the same day you reach out with the therapist who is right for you!
The Counseling Place
A place to feel understood. Life can feel heavy. We will build clarity, resilience, and establish practical tools to help you feel more grounded and in control. Together.
Our Story
Compassionate Care for All Ages
Serving the South Denver Community
The Counseling Place was established by Sarah James, LCSW, in 2007, with a clear and impactful vision: to develop a welcoming and warm environment where individuals of all ages could access specialized therapeutic support. Our team comprises dedicated and skilled therapists committed to assisting clients in overcoming obstacles and facilitating significant personal growth. Located in Lone Tree, Colorado, and serving the greater South Denver metropolitan area, including Castle Rock and Greenwood Village, The Counseling Place has expanded into a reputable group practice providing comprehensive mental health services for children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples.
Restore.
Life moves fast — and somewhere in the rush, it's easy to lose touch with yourself. True wellness goes deeper than your physical health. It lives in the quiet moments, the hard conversations, and the stories you carry. At The Counseling Place, we create the space for you to pause, breathe, and finally feel heard.
Thrive.
Healing isn't a destination — it's a process of returning to yourself. When we create room to be present, to sit with what's real, and to voice what we've been holding, something shifts. Anxiety softens. Old patterns lose their grip. You begin to feel more grounded, more capable, and more free to live the life you've been longing for.
Transform.
At the heart of every breakthrough is a relationship built on trust. Therapy at The Counseling Place means working with a compassionate, non-judgmental professional who is genuinely invested in your growth. In this safe and supportive space, real people experience real, lasting change — and you can too.
Founder of The Counseling Place
Sarah James
For nearly 20 years, I have been helping people break through their walls and old life patterns that keep them stuck and move them into their best selves. I use several techniques including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR Therapy, and many coaching strategies. I have spent over 25,000 hours working with clients throughout my career. I know how to get people where they want to go by engaging in therapy.
