Meet Dr. Alec Mendelson
Licensed Clinical Psychologist

With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Alec Mendelson has helped countless individuals overcome their mental health challenges to achieve increased contentment and satisfaction. In addition to his long-established psychotherapy private practice, he has worked as a psychologist and consultant with several school districts and two Job Corps centers.  At Positive Impact Psychology, we believe everyone deserves to live a happy and fulfilling life. Our virtual therapy sessions are conducted on a confidential and secure platform. Utilizing concepts from cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and narrative-based approaches, Dr. Alec promotes skills and perspectives that produce a strong foundation supporting better physical health and emotional well-being.  While symptom reduction can bring about short-term relief, it is the development of positive strategies and behaviors that bring about the confidence that "better" can be present for the longer term.​ Choosing a therapist and getting started are difficult first steps. We are focused on engaging our clients with warmth, compassion, respect, and appropriate guidance throughout the course of  psychotherapy.

Symptom reduction such as quieting one's inner critic can often be an important initial step. In our sessions, we aim to instill alternative ways of thinking and behaving stemming from a healthier narrative. Learning how to use your awareness to your benefit rather than your detriment is an example of the power and authority you could develop in promoting a more satisfied sense of self.
