Dr. Craig Kramer, Psychologist in Pembroke Pines, FL
I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and completed my APA-accredited internship at Children’s Institute, Inc. in Los Angeles, California. I received advanced training in psychoanalysis, phenomenology, and existentialism through the Florida Psychoanalytic Center and the Existential Logotherapy Institute. I work with children, adolescents, families, and adults in psychotherapy, addressing a broad range of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and life transitions. My practice centers on understanding how experiences of trauma, loss, and disappointment—and the shame, guilt, regret, and passivity that often follow—can constrict a person’s inner world and limit their sense of possibility. In addition to psychotherapy, I provide psychological assessments for neurodevelopmental conditions, mood and thought disorders, and personality disorders. Drawing from an existential, phenomenological, and psychoanalytic perspective, clients can expect a thoughtful, steady therapeutic space where their experiences are taken seriously and explored with care. Together, we examine the stories, emotional themes, and relational patterns that contribute to clients’ struggles, including the sources of trauma, disappointment, shame, regret, and despair that may be holding them back. My goal is not only to help reduce immediate symptoms, but to support a deeper, more enduring shift in how individuals live with themselves, others, and the world around them. Through this process, clients develop greater emotional freedom, authenticity, and self-direction, with an increased ability to make choices that align with their values, desires, and hopes for the future—allowing them to engage with their lives in amore meaningful and genuinely authentic way.
