This website was initially conceived of as a business idea. The ads have since been removed. The website now serves as a personal ministry.

I rarely write new articles. I do, however, continually try to improve what I have already written. New videos are more common.

It is my hope that you will find the website useful and that it will provide a blessing to your life.

Notes: 1) I no longer use my old practice domain name JamesSerio.com. The mental health treatment program the site now points to has no connection to me. 2) Don't make a 'friend request' for me on Facebook. I don't use the site. 3) Some details in the vignettes on this website may have been altered to protect confidentiality.
