The Connecting Place
edge
In September, 2002, Dr. Ladd founded a personal growth center, The Connecting Place, in Pueblo, Colorado to serve couples and families.

She offered workshops for couples and singles in a variety of relationship skills. The core of her expertise is working with couples at any stage of relationship — dating, looking to enhance the connection and pleasure, in crisis — to deepen self-understanding, intimacy, pleasure and commitment and to prevent divorce or to allow a respectful parting.

She is now committed to training therapists for working with couples in her integrated, trauma-informed, strength-based model that heals and creates healthy relationships that support the ongoing growth of each person. The training also reinforces working with individual clients.
