For professionals who wish to deepen their therapeutic approach.
In just 6 months, you'll discover how gratifying it is to help couples reconnect and deepen their bond.
The Focus
As a new therapist, you may find yourself shying away from couples sessions. Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of working with couples and navigating their emotional landscapes.
You're not alone. Few therapists feel comfortable working with the high emotional energy and stuck dysfunctional patterns with which couples often present.
Even experienced therapists struggle when working with couples and other relationships.
Many therapy training programs lack courses specifically focused on working with couples. Even programs that do include such courses often fail to emphasize practical application.
As a result, graduates find themselves equipped with knowledge but unable to effectively use it in real-world settings.
Unfortunate as that is, it also opens up an opportunity for you to set yourself apart from other therapists in your community.

The Core
That’s because relationship is at the core of every client’s presenting issue – first, with oneself, and then, with others.
Even your individual clients wrestle with various types of relationships (including with themselves) and you’re faced with addressing how those dynamics affect their mental health.
So whether you’re working with one person at a time or any type of relationship unit, your work revolves around both the intrapersonal and the interpersonal relationships that make up your clients’ lives.
Rather than refuse to work with couples, families, or friends, you can expand your skill set and comfort through specialized training in couples work, which can also enhance your work with individuals.
Experienced therapists could benefit from learning new paradigms and expanding their toolbox for working effectively with couples and individuals.
Since there are so few couples therapists out there (and so much need), you have a chance to build and grow a thriving practice catering to this lucrative niche.

I’ve spent my career helping couples of all types navigate every stage of their relationship.
Throughout my practice, I’ve specialized in healing and transforming relationships – to self, first, then to others – and facilitating trauma recovery.
I am now primarily focused on teaching clinicians how to work effectively with couples.
Based on my 30+ years of experience, I have created a program designed to guide you through mastering the art of relationship therapy.
I combine my early training as both a massage and physical therapist with my psychotherapy experience in Gestalt, Transpersonal Psychology, and the Bonding Psychotherapy Process to create a safe, deeply transformative psycho-educational group experience.
I authored a book on my work, Heart of Healing: A Therapist’s Journey with Clients (2012).
The Heart of Relationship Therapy
This trauma-informed training offers a strength-based, integrated, experiential clinical approach to healing and strengthening these relationships that support the ongoing growth of each person.
The Heart of Relationship Therapy is a 6-month experiential program that incorporates brain research, attachment theory, trauma recovery, and more.
You will be introduced to my unique approach and you'll leave with a clear system for working with couples (and individuals).

A Roadmap
The Heart of Relationship Therapy offers a "roadmap" to sequentially address the underlying issues across various client presentations, such as high-conflict, detached, over-identified, and more.
You’ll learn how to help your clients improve their relationships, recover from developmental trauma, and process their emotional experiences.
And you'll feel confident, knowing you have the skills to effectively treat ALL of your clients, whether individuals or couples.

Who will benefit from this program
Whether you’re a recent graduate or an experienced practitioner, if you're a Colorado-based therapist (LCSW, LPC, LMFT) who is longing to feel confident working with couples, this training is for you.
There's no need to feel nervous when you have a roadmap and a clear, replicable system for guiding couples to create a transformative relationship with themselves and then a healthy, loving, and resilient relationship with their partner.
Once you've achieved this competence, you'll be able to give your clients the best care and in turn, you'll build a thriving practice.

“I believe I was a kind, empathetic couple’s therapist before training with Dr. Ladd and learning her Heart of Healing method. Afterward, I became an effective therapist using a powerful roadmap to understand how relational difficulties originate in individual wounding. I obtained meaningful tools to lead couples through transformational healing to address core issues and provide new ways of relating to themselves and their partner. I would be lost without these essential knowledge and skills.”

The Connection
Ann Ladd, PhD, LCSW
Each of us carries within all we need to live a purposeful, joyful life. However, through the challenges of childhood and later difficulties in our lives, we may lose contact with the inner knowing that guides us toward our unique, healthy life choices.
I can help you restore your innate wisdom and resilience. Through deep and empathic listening, emotional re-education, and life skills development, I can assist you in removing blocks to your natural state of self-acceptance and trust.
This reclaiming of self will free you to express and celebrate your deepest feelings, talents, and interests.
This transformation of your relationship to yourself will, in turn, allow you to create loving, satisfying relationships with others.
