Becoming Who We Are
Psychotherapy is a time-limited endeavor leading, at its best, parties inward and forward toward fuller embrace of respective lives.

About Me
Dr Ed Mendelowitz, a Ph.D. from the California School of Professional Psychology, offers profound insights into mental health. Drawing from his close work with psychotherapist Rollo May, he helps individuals explore life's deeper questions. His unique approach guides those seeking to understand their struggles through a thoughtful, existential lens. Resources like the Rollo May Consortium on Substack further support this journey, bringing clarity and a renewed sense of purpose.
Approach
Influenced by years alongside Rollo May, I attend to meaning as the doorway to change, shaping sessions around curiosity tempered by clear, paced reflection. I meet adults in Los Angeles and online, working in English with a calm tempo that balances listening, focused inquiry and occasional philosophical prompts. Work often moves from mourning and identity questions into practical experiments—short writing, shifts in relationship habits or reflective tasks between sessions—to test what enlarges your life. People seeking thoughtful, grounded exploration of loss, purpose or self often find this way helpful.
