Saundra Ladd
Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I received my Masters from Nova Southeastern University. I have been practicing for over 20 years providing group, individual, couples and family therapy. I have worked with all ages of clients from preschool to over 60 years of age. My experience has provided me the opportunity and ability to gain expertise in such a diverse age group.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with a brief introductions of myself and the client(s). Afterwards, we will discuss specific challenges and expectations. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
My greatest strengths are looking at the clients as a whole person. Exploring the spiritual, social, mental and emotional aspects.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with all ages of clients and especially individuals and couples counseling. I also have the opportunity to work with our active duty service members and their dependents stateside and overseas. Helping clients to develop healthy relationships, coping skills, anger management skills, develop effective communication skills and conflict resolution and other tools to ensure better outcomes of navigating through the different lifespans.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My experience with this type of therapy has been very effective. Because clients realize how powerful our thoughts can affect our emotions/feelings, which in turn can affect our behavior/actions. Then one can begin to work on change by this new awareness.
