Is the communication in your relationship broken? Over the past decade, I’ve developed a structured, data-driven approach while working with over 2,500 couples to break through major issues in relationships. My method of working with couples is based on 50 years of research and gives couples the skills they need to succeed usually in less than three months.
Call my receptionist or use the easy calendar tool below to book a free 20 minute consultation with me.
I learn about you and share insights to give you confidence that my protocol will work for you and your partner.
Our sessions are usually held over zoom from the comfort of your own home or office (in-person available as well).
3-Step Framework for Success
Unfortunately, over 80% of therapists lack advanced training in couples therapy
resulting in ineffective treatment due to a generic intake process. If you've had little progress with past therapists, you're not alone.
For over a decade, I've used a structured system to collaborate with couples that uses a data & research-driven assessment process to create a custom treatment plan.
I conduct two separate one-hour sessions with both partners to understand your situation, goals, and relationship history. Although consistent patterns exist, each couple's struggles are unique, enabling us to focus on the most significant obstacles.
Each partner meets individually with me for an hour, fostering open communication without the need to filter thoughts. These sessions uncover insights to enhance your relationship quickly and address personal issues like depression or anxiety, equipping you with lifelong skills for happiness.
I invest 5-6 hours crafting a treatment plan based on gathered information, consulting with one of my retired mentors who have over 40 years experience in the field at no extra charge to you. We then implement the plan over six sessions, tailored to your specific needs, with flexibility for individual or couples sessions as required.
I've created a comprehensive 10-week educational video-based training course with over 68 lessons and a companion book aimed at enhancing your relationship. This course covers a wide range of topics including trust-building, communication strategies, conflict resolution, personality types, and more. You get lifetime access for both you and your partner.
As my patient, you receive my personal line for 24/7 access via call or text, bypassing the reception desk. It's not uncommon for people in my neighborhood to see me on the phone walking my dog late at night as I talk to patients. My hands-on availability enhances the effectiveness of our sessions. My aim is to assure you that you're not alone, and part of my role is to alleviate some of the burdens your relationship may bear.
Not Your Average Couples Counselor
Dr. Jonathon Dabach
My name is Jonathon Dabach, PhD. Most of my patients call me "Dr. Jon." I started in the religious world and was an ordained rabbi offering counseling services to members of my community. I realized that while there was a lot of wisdom in my spiritual background that there was much to be learned from the clinical world which pushed me to pursue my doctoral degree in interpersonal counseling.
I dove into several different therapeutic modalities specific to couples as that has been my sole area of focus for over a decade. I pride myself on basing my work on research-driven methods that have been shown to help couples succeed in their marriage like the Gottman Method and Attachment Theory.
To me working with people on their marriages for the past decade has been more than just a job - it's been a life mission.

Have a Quick Look at Just a Few of Our 5-Star Reviews
Working with Dr. Jon on our marriage was literally a life-saver. His approach was so dialed in and something that he clearly has spent years doing. He knew how to address individual issues I was bringing into the marriage and do the same for my husband without ever feeling like he was taking sides. He is someone we go to on a regular basis when their are issues and I know that we will rely on him from time to time for years to come.
If you don't have experience working with therapists you might not appreciate just how amazing Dr. Jon is at this work. I've been to over a dozen therapists in my life and none of them can even touch Dr. Jon. Does he have the clinical know-how? Yes. Does he have a structured, focused approach? Yes - but really what sets him apart is an instinct he has about what to say, how to say it, and how to motivate you to make changes. He is the best.
We had to wait a couple weeks before an availability was open to work with Dr. Jon and we almost worked with someone else but my wife and I just felt a good connection with him over the phone and boy are we glad we waited. He has been able to point to things in our relationship so quickly and with such clarity that it almost made my head spin. Why my own therapist didn't point things out like this for the years I've been seeing her, I'll never know. I'm just glad that I now know what I need to do to get my relationship working again whenever it breaks.
