Clarity and a path forward.
Therapy and coaching for the moments that change your life.
Experience You Can Trust
Focus Forward Therapy & Coaching, LLC was founded by Bonnie Miller Ladds, LISW, LCSW, Certified Divorce Coach, whose clinical experience spans more than 35 years.
Bonnie combines a deep understanding of complex emotional concerns with a direct, personal, and practical approach. She specializes in treating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, and sex addiction, and works with individuals navigating major life transitions. Through divorce coaching, she helps clients clarify priorities, prepare for difficult conversations, and make thoughtful decisions during separation and divorce.
Her work goes beyond understanding what’s wrong. She helps clients recognize how past experiences and relationship patterns affect their lives today—and turn that insight into meaningful change.
Her extensive trauma experience also informs her forensic practice, providing comprehensive mental health evaluations that assess and document psychological injuries and their impact on daily functioning, with treatment available when clinically indicated.

Mental Health Evaluations
Comprehensive mental health evaluations document the psychological impact of accidents, traumatic events, and loss. Informed by more than 30 years of clinical experience, each evaluation examines the individual’s history, symptoms, and changes in daily functioning. Services include detailed evaluation reports and treatment when clinically indicated.
Therapy for First Responders and Their Families
Experienced, confidential support for those who serve and protect others
Police officers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers, correctional officers, and other public safety professionals face repeated exposure to danger, loss, and human suffering. The impact can extend beyond the job, affecting sleep, mood, concentration, and relationships, and making it difficult to feel at ease off duty.
Focus Forward provides a confidential, respectful, and safe space to speak openly about the toll your work has taken. Whether you’re facing the aftermath of a critical incident or years of accumulated stress, trauma-focused therapy can help you sleep better, feel more connected to the people you care about, and regain a sense of control on and off duty
