Dr. Ludin employs evidence-based approaches focused on clients’ strengths, goals, and values. In couples therapy, treatment draws from EFT, Gottman, and structural approaches. Individual and family treatment with Dr. Ludin integrates CBT and mindfulness-based strategies with attachment and family systems perspectives to best meet clients’ unique needs.

In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Ludin has dedicated significant time investigating the links between relational and sexual health, emotional connectedness, and intimate partner and sexual violence in adolescents and adults.
