Jon Dabach, PhDReviews 

The best recommendation I can give to Dr. Jon is the fact that we are still married. I was one foot out the door, ready to pack things up and never look back but it has all changed. We don’t even have children so really there was nothing stopping me from leaving in the way a couple with kids would have some pause…and still Jon found the things in the relationship that were buried for both of us that made us want to try in the first place. The motivation was clear, the exercises he gives you are challenging at times but very helpful and above all you really get a sense that he just gives a crap about your success and that makes everything go smoother.

I obviously can’t go into too much of the intimate details that happened with us in session because they’re very private but what I can say is that both of us instantly connected with Jon. He clearly cares and makes a very comfortable environment for everyone to take a chance and get things off their chest that are normally really really uncomfortable. Once you get them off your chest he’s able to reframe it and repackage it as something you can actually handle. He takes your problems and makes them small enough that you can actually get somewhere with them and that’s what happened to us. It was an absolutely amazing experience working with him and I’ve since recommended him to three of my closest friends and two family members who have all said he’s been great with them as well.

Most couples therapists suck. I know because my parents were therapists and got divorced and all of their friends were therapists and they all had the worst advice and usually ended up divorced and unhappy themselves. Working with Jon was a completely different experience. There was little to no time spent on psychotherapy talk or analyzing things that happened to me as a child - it was about the here and now and things we could try today to actually make life better and it worked. I can’t thank Dr. Jon enough for everything he’s the best.

Working with Dr. Jon on our marriage was a literal game-changer. After 23 years of holding on to resentment, disappointment and issues that started stacking up so high we started to lose track we needed a reset. In our first session months ago he was able to look me in the eye and tell me that I have never lived life for myself and that lack of healthy selfishness was the root of all of my distance and resentment in the marriage. I had been to three other therapists in the past and nobody even hinted at this - let alone have the balls to say it in the first session. He didn’t do it in a mean way or anything but it was a wake up call I needed to hear. That was just the start. There were lots of sessions after and here we are, still married and actually able to connect in a way we haven’t in over a decade.

Working with Dr. Jon on my anxiety was life-changing experience. After struggling to find a therapist who offered in-person sessions post-pandemic. I was relived when Dr.Jon accommodated my schedule. He even allowed me to bring my dog, which made a huge difference in my comfort level. His dedication and understanding were truly remarkable.

Prior to starting couples counseling, I faced several challenges in my previous relationships, including being betrayed, which caused deep trust issues, I didn't think I could move past these problems, but working with Jon was much easier and more straightforward than I anticipated. The empowerment and gratitude I feel now truly amazing.

My partner was initially hesitant about couples therapy, fearing it would one-sided and blame them. During our first session, I was anxious, but Dr. Jon quickly created an atmosphere of peace and clarity. In subsequent sessions, we tackled our issues effectively, feeling like we were smashing problems with a baseball bat. Unlike horror stories I've heard from others, Dr. Jon is a master at his craft, knowing exactly what to say at every turn. I highly recommend him to anyone struggling in their relationship.

During a challenging time in my life, Jon quickly identified issues that other therapist had missed. His tailored approach and the ability to reach him between sessions have been incredibly supportive , helping me navigate both personal and professional upheavals.

Working with Dr. Jon on my anxiety issues was a really amazing experience. It was hard enough to find someone in person who would actually work with me because so many therapists have gone virtual only since the pandemic but Dr. Jon really did go above and beyond when it came to making sure there was a time that worked for me. He even let me bring my dog into sessions which I was not expecting at all.

I’ve had many experiences with different therapists throughout my life - some okay and some really bad but Dr. Jon has a quality that the others don’t. He gets actively involved with the discussion, has amazing advice to offer and really cares. He checks up on me between sessions from time to time and is always available for a text message or a quick call when things get a bit hard to deal with.

I can’t recommend Dr. Jon enough to anyone who is looking for someone with real expertise and compassion. He has been an integral part of my healing process.

My partner was really hesitant to go into couples therapy they thought that it would be one sided. They felt they would be blamed for everything and suspicions were at an all-time high. It was hard enough to get them to come in and I sat on pins and needles the first time we were on the couch wondering if it would go well but all of those fears and anxiousness went away quite quickly when I watched as Dr. Jon was able to create an atmosphere of peace, tranquility and clarity. In the next several sessions we had we were able to punch through issue after issue after issue in our relationship like there was a baseball bat in our hands smashing problem after problem.
I've heard horror stories from other people about therapists or couples counselors they've worked with and I can't say that I've tried anyone else, but Dr. Jon is a master at his craft. He is someone who knows exactly what to say at just about every turn and I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone who is struggling in their relationship

We were a little suspicious of doing telehealth over Zoom for couples therapy but Dr Jon was kind enough to have an initial consultation over Zoom so we could see how comfortable it was for us and that was incredibly helpful. We were able to do it later in the evenings after work and our sessions were always enlightening and allowed us to get through a lot of our issues and then we were able to go straight to bed without having to have that awkward drive home we both secretly dreaded. Dr. Jon is really incredible at what he does and even if you aren't local I would suggest giving a zoom session a try as there are actually a lot of benefits to it that you might not realize in terms of convenience.

A few years ago we had lost a child to a tragic accident and there was a lot of issues that came up in our marriage as a result. Both of us had been to our own individual therapists but the grief kind of stuck with us because of the nature of how shocking it all was and there was a lot of blame and guilt and shame that we had to process through. I was told that finding the right therapist was going to be challenging because marriage therapists who also know how to handle grief in the appropriate way are incredibly hard to find.
I feel very fortunate that we stumbled upon Dr. Jon and were able to develop a relationship with him before his caseload was full. The compassion that he has for people while also pushing people to grow just slightly out of their comfort zone so that it's not too scary was the key ingredient of what was missing in other therapists we had tried. Although you never get over losing a child Dr. Jon was able to help us forgive each other and to look at this new chapter of our life as something we can embark on with confidence while still holding on to the cherished memories we have from the past.

What can I honestly say about someone who saved our marriage? Working with Dr. Jon was a best experience. I was able to dig deep down into some of the trauma I was feeling that I couldn't verbalize. It allowed my partner and I to really understand where the blocks and the hurdles were in our relationship and then he went above and beyond in giving us told and exercises to make sure that we had everything we needed to be self-sufficient. It is not easy to find someone who clearly cares about his work as much as Dr. Jon does and I'm honored to call myself a patient and dare I say friend of someone who has such integrity.

My parents' marriage provided an absolutely horrible example for me and created an unnatural fear of commitment that I could not get over. Even though we had two children together I did not see myself getting married because somehow the label of marriage was a paralyzing word and concept I could not wrap my head around. Within just a few months of working with Jon I was able to do a hard rest to my brain and understand that i could define marriage in a way that was meaningful and significant to me and cut ties with any concept of what it was from the trauma I had in my childhood. I am honored to say that i'm now married very happily and love being part of a family in away that was always missing for me growing up and I owe a large debt of gratitude to our therapist, Dr. Jon for being able to say that.
