About me
I am licensed in California with 26 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. My inner 13 year old (that is a spazzy, nerdy, budding athlete with all the trappings of a hormone addled mind) and immature inner voice have been a big help when using humor with teen patients: As always my goal is to meet my patient where they are, each and every day and frequently humor, sarcasm and properly utilized immaturity really help relating to and connecting with teen patients. I utilize personal and professional life experiences to distill and dissect issues into more easily manageable pieces, as I listen for teachable moments. Let me help you ( or your teen in need ). Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! Let’s set a date for change and progress. Thank you for reading this.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joseph F Dolowy III. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
I am incredibly grateful for Joseph's insightful and compassionate counseling for my son. His expert advice and understanding approach have been invaluable in helping us navigate a challenging time, as my son has been facing possible depression. Joseph's guidance has not only helped us better understand the situation but also pointed us in the right direction for support and healing. His empathy and professionalism have made a meaningful difference in our lives, and we are truly thankful for his continued support.
I find Joseph to be a very competent therapist. We’ve had two sessions now and due to my situation, he has been extremely flexible in fitting me into his schedule. He’s a very good listener and has a good grasp of what I’m going through in my marriage of 41 years, offering timely insights which have already made an impact in my life. I highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking for help.
Joey Dolowy has been one of the most laid back and insightful therapists I have ever had. He meets you where you’re at, listens to you and provides solid advice through his authentic and genuine personality. He doesn’t beat around the bushes and reminds me of a wise sage you run into at the bar after a bad day, to help you realize what you need to do in order to achieve your goals and happiness.
