Welcome to Code-4 Counseling

The Code-4 Counseling Peer Support class was awesome!  I really enjoyed the size of the class and how engaged everyone was.  Everyone's openness and energy made it easy to talk about tough topics.  The "emotional intelligence" portion was intense but truly beneficial and needed.  Sara, you have a true passion for what you do.  Thank you.  We are blessed to have you.  Keep up the great work!

- Police Sergeant, Brighton Police Department

“As a founding board member of the Colorado Fallen Heroes Foundation, Dr. Metz has provided guidance from a unique perspective and assisted the team greatly since its inception. Sara’s calm demeanor, professionalism, wit, and tact made her a natural choice to be a part of the foundation and the board is grateful to her commitment to assisting fallen officer families in Colorado.”

- Stephen Redfearn, President of the Colorado Fallen Heroes Foundation

It is an extraordinary moment in someone's life when they get the chance to meet Dr. Sara Metz.  No matter what issues we bring her, she has taken in and dealt with it like the warrior that she is.  I cannot explain how grateful I am to have had the chance to meet Sara and to work with her.  Sara inspires me each and every day to get out there and learn more.   She is an amazing person and such a great role model for our agency.  Thank you, Sara, for allowing us into your life, and for giving us your time so selflessly.

“We see things we can’t unsee. Every single day we go in and absorb the emotions of strangers. We go home and are sometimes troubled for days about a call we had. So who helps us? We’d like to introduce you to Sara Metz of Code-4 Counseling, LLC. We are lucky to have such a supportive resource in Colorado that specialize in helping public safety professionals to handle cumulative stress, PTSD, and all the other hurdles thrown on our plate.”

- Brotherhood for the Fallen, Aurora

“Dr. Sara’s presentation on Managing Post-Traumatic Stress was very well received and judging by the questions and comments I heard, extraordinarily valuable to those in attendance. Her concern for those she serves is obvious and deeply appreciated. She is clearly an incredible asset to those she helps. APROA is already in discussions to have other follow up seminars later this year.”

- Bruce G. Smith, President, Aurora Police Retired Officers Association

“Dr. Metz understands law enforcement professionals and law enforcement organizations. Her ability to connect and reach this audience sets her apart and provides us with an invaluable resource.”

- John Rosencrans, Police Chief

“I found Dr. Metz to be kind, compassionate and highly qualified not only in her education and technical skills but also in her understanding of public safety professionals. Sara is very easy to converse with and has the ability to make one instantly at ease and not afraid to share their feelings. It is with full confidence that I can say that using Code-4 Counseling will have an extremely positive impact upon your organization.“
