For over thirty years I have been providing individual, couple, family and group therapy. I bring accumulated experience, skill and knowledge to help people resolve the difficult and complex problems we often face. I am actively engaged with my clients and I will give you suggestions and guidance and help you generate hope.
With couples, I avoid taking sides and teach methods of speaking and listening to one another. Whether you are an individual who has lost a sense of who you are, or a couple feeling distant and lonely, this is an opportunity for you to reach out and change the places you are stuck.

Answers to questions about the counseling process such as how to choose a therapist, how to know when individual, couple or family therapy is best - are answered on the following pages. If you have questions that are not answered here feel free to contact me. Ann Pultz Kramer, LMFT (951) 992-6373 How do I begin to find a counselor?
Usually once a week is helpful, especially if you and/or your relationship are in a lot of distress. Less than that, in my experience, is not helpful for people to feel the benefits. There are studies on couple work that indicate couples make the most changes in the first 4-6 weeks of the counseling process.
Are you confused about how to find the therapist for you? Don't feel as though you are alone; finding a therapist is not a simple task, yet it's an important one. Not every therapist and every client are the right match for one another. Each person may not be looking for the same quality or style in a therapist.
Actually, the relationship itself has been found to be more important in therapy than the approach, and how someone feels about their therapist is extremely important to the outcome of therapy. How the changing is done, is primarily through verbal discussion, emotional support and positive regard. Homework and other tasks may be helpful as part of the process.
Are you feeling a little unsure about what to expect during the first psychotherapy visit? Is it your first time ever coming to see a therapist? Anxiety may be experienced and expressed in different ways by different individuals. Some people feel tense and guarded, finding it hard to relax. Sometimes, the relief of finally beginning to talk about a problem may result in an uncontrollable urge to cry.
