Rhonda Ladd, PhD, LPC
“Distressed partners may use different words, but they always ask the
same fundamental questions: Are you there for me? Do I matter to you? Will you come to me
when I need you? Love is the best survival mechanism there is, and to suddenly feel
emotionally cut off from a partner, is terrifying.”
COUPLES’ THERAPY
Hi, I’m Dr. Ladd. I became aware of challenges in marriage and family relationships in my teens. I didn’t have the language yet to understand what was happening, but my emotions understood; I could see and feel the fear, depression, and disconnect. As I entered my first internship over 25 years ago, at least 75% of my clients were couples and I began to see how life changes when relational wounds are allowed to be opened and healed.
These experiences, along with my own marriage, have made me empathetic for my clients’ experiences and highly invested in quality care and competency far exceeding what is typical.
Beyond the PhD and license, I have completed hundreds of hours of continuing education, consultation, and supervision. My growth edge is sharpest as I regularly seek feedback from fellow EFT clinicians, enabling me to develop new perspectives on your relationship and catch my blind spots.
