About

Joseph F Dolowy III notes that his name rhymes (Joey Dolowy) and that his primary motivation in life is to help people. He values being of service and approaches his work with enthusiasm and dedication.

He has practiced as a therapist in California since 1998 and brings 26 years of professional and life experience to his clinical work. His background includes a wide range of personal and professional learning accumulated over those decades.

Joseph has specialized experience addressing depression, anxiety, chemical dependency and addiction issues - an area he has pursued intensely since a friend overdosed when he was 13 and has spent decades reading and learning about. He also works with self-harm, teen concerns, life-phase challenges, bullying, self-esteem and self-image difficulties, grief and loss, and marital and relationship issues.

He listens carefully and tailors sessions and treatment plans to meet each person’s needs. Joseph offers traditional and nontraditional session formats, including therapy while hiking, biking, skating, and even surfing, to accommodate different styles and preferences.

Based in California, he holds a license to practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist in the state. He appreciates the time people take to consider therapy and invites prospective clients to reach out so he can begin supporting their work toward change.
