Professional statement

Bonnie Miller Ladds is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Divorce Coach who works with adults across the lifespan. With over 30 years experience, Bonnie specializes with individuals suffering with anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting, and sex addiction. Many of her clients experience emotional overwhelm by their individual struggles and difficulty in their relationships. Bonnie is particularly sensitive to clients facing moments of transition, particularly in thinking about separation/divorce, during divorce, and post-divorce.

Bonnie is focused on ensuring that her clients see real progress: her style is interactive, non-judgmental, and warm. As a trauma-informed, psycho-dynamically oriented therapist, Bonnie is sensitive to the influence of past experiences on present challenges, and works closely with clients to reframe the narrative of their life in a way that increases self-confidence and compassion.

Therapy sessions with Bonnie integrate both insight-oriented and skills-based approaches. She gently challenges clients to explore the root cause of their symptoms, gaining new awareness into their emotional and relationship patterns. At the same time, she focuses on practical strategies, to help clients feel better in the here and now.

Bonnie’s first priority in starting with a new client is ensuring that they feel safe, heard, and respected as a partner in the therapeutic process. As a seasoned telehealth provider, she offers the convenience of remote sessions to help make therapy a core component of your self-care calendar.


Message to clients

Should I or Shouldn’t I? Is that the question you keep asking yourself over and over again? Is this the question that is keeping you up at night with anxiety, fear, and dread? Are questions like this the background noise that interfere with your ability to think clearly?

Perhaps it’s the “D” (divorce) word? You can try to push it our of your mind, but somehow it keeps returning. Is it too scary to say out loud?

Thinking about making any major change in your life is difficult, very difficult. How will you do it? How will it affect the rest of your life and the lives of everyone in your family? Where should you begin?

Thinking about it and talking about it does not mean you are necessarily “doing” anything. You are exploring your options. You are becoming educated and informed. You are trying to make the best decisions to move forward.  One step at a time. I understand. You don’t need to go at it alone -- I can accompany you. I can be your thinking partner.
