Marriage Counseling

COUPLES / MARRIAGE COUNSELING

The Number One factor in life satisfaction is a happy primary relationship. Research shows that people with loving relationships live healthier and longer lives.

Couple problems are bad for you and can cause unhappiness, depression, anxiety, overeating, alcohol and drug abuse, and insomnia. But even if you’re fighting, there are ways to calm things down, repair the damage, and reignite the friendship, passion and love.

Stop having unproductive discussions and reliving the same old fights. Get to the bottom of the problem! Understand and change the negative patterns, learn the skills you need to have the loving, happy, intimate relationship you both really want.

I’ve had over 30 years of professional experience helping couples, and been married over 30 years. I know the secrets to success both personally and professionally, and can help you have a successful relationship too. My wife and I are the co-authors of Why Men Don’t Get Enough Sex and Women Don’t Get Enough Love (Simon & Schuster).

My professional style is caring, supportive, honest, helpful, practical, and results oriented. I’ll help you better understand yourselves as a couple, and learn the skills and secrets you need to know to have a successful, loving relationship.

"I highly recommend Dr. Kramer...he is a true professional and the most effective therapist I could have hoped to find. He is intuitive, incredibly kind and wonderfully direct. The tools he provided me for navigating an emotionally challenging upcoming event were priceless. He helped me turn my fear into gratitude and strength...I was able to find the peace that had eluded me for a very long time. I thank Dr. Kramer from the bottom of my heart. He is truly the best!!" Katherine R.

"Spoiler Alert: The following is a *10* Star Review, (5 stars each awarded from both me and my husband), for Jonathan Kramer, PhD, who is, without question, the “Top Gun” when it comes to precisely targeting and effectively resolving relationship issues. Even tough ones. With experience, knowledge, determination and caring, Jon has a brilliantly engaging method he employs, sometimes with humor, for drilling to the core of marital problems resulting from the frustration, aggravation and disappointment that strangle the life and love out of a relationship on a daily basis. We had tried many months of couples counseling before with other therapists, to no avail. Recurring issues continued to plague us. We know other friends/couples who have had similar experiences and agree that finding a psychologist with the ability to effectively facilitate meaningful change in a relationship is difficult at best, and finding the best, nearly impossible. This was to be our final make-it-or-break-it deal, since we had reached a stage where most conversations between us seemed to devolve into virtual, verbal combat. To our relief, in our first session with Jon, we could feel an air of change emerge between us as ‘understanding’ began to creep in. Following our second session, and for the first time in many years, my husband of 24 years and I found ourselves walking arm and arm to our car after leaving Jon’s office, a sign of affection that for us, sadly had disappeared many moons ago. If you have been hoping and searching for wildly-effective help to repair or improve a love relationship, or any relationship for that matter, regardless of its degree of descent, we would strongly suggest that you look no further. You’ve found the best here. We highly recommend Jon Kramer, Ph.D. to you as the “Top Gun” for relationship help, and as someone for whom we forever will be grateful to have found. With Jon, be prepared to be amazed by what he does, and to be grateful for having found him too." -Gigi D.

"Jon has all the qualities that I look for in a counselor: objectivity, empathy, patience, attentiveness, and intelligence. He has helped me tremendously with a variety of issues: grief, anxiety, career enjoyment and advancement, communication, and intimate relationship issues. I highly recommend Jon whether you are wishing to hone some skills, find a new job or career, heighten your self-awareness, or smooth out the rough edges of a relationship." Harold R.

"I highly recommend Dr. Kramer. I began seeing him individually and then as a couple, with my husband, to help us with better managing stress. [He] continues to impress us with his professionalism, experience, practical and sound guidance. He has helped us to develop a better marriage and individual/family plan. Dr. Kramer was especially helpful in assisting us in better understanding stress triggers and appropriate coping skills to avoid conflicts. We have become greater friends and role models for our children." - Stacy C.

"I can’t express enough how helpful your advice and guidance have been on everything from parenting to extended family to getting back to work. It has been a huge game changer for me." -Patricia S.

"One word comes to mind as I reflect on the results my wife and I had with Dr. Kramer, "revolutionary" That's a big statement of course, but that's exactly what we experienced in our endeavor to make improvements to our relationship. We couldn't be happier with the improvements we've experienced and they have stuck with us, and were achieved in a very short order to boot. I give a five star rating without hesitation. Many thanks for making our lives so much better Dr. Kramer...a huge thank you!" -Grant M.

"Dr. Jon Kramer is a 5-star Psychologist whose highly effective strategies and techniques helped me recover from clinical depression, and guided me to self-acceptance and self-esteem, learning to love myself and others. Thanks to Jon's brilliant therapy, and his patience, kindness, wisdom, and generosity, I found my true career and interpersonal path in life. After working with Jon, I married the person of my dreams and after that, we were blessed with two bright and healthy children, whose emotional health I attribute to my work with him. I would recommend that you run to his office if you experience any issues, including anxiety, stress, depression, confidence or relationship problems.. Let Jon help you to also achieve greater life enjoyment, relationship success, and inner peace." -Lawrence M.
