What Current Projects and Contact Information Are Listed on E.T. Margolis's Website?
Updated
E.T. Margolis's site (etmargolis.com) is the personal site of Eliezer T. Margolis, PhD, ABPP, a rehabilitation psychologist who practiced independently in Evanston, Illinois, from October 1, 1992 to July 1, 2013. The site lists two current projects—his October 2025 board membership with the Harm To Healing Collaborative and the Redirected Lives project—plus a Contact section for reaching him. It does not publish a direct email address, phone number, or contact form in the page text shown.
Who the Site Belongs To
The site identifies Dr. Margolis as a rehabilitation psychologist whose practice focused on adults dealing with chronic or serious medical illness, trauma, physical disability, sexual difficulty, or death and dying. He also worked with people and families affected by brain injury or other neurological conditions, using a collaborative, existential psychotherapeutic approach.
Since retiring from active practice as a licensed psychologist, the site says he has divided his time between studying rehabilitation in the carceral context and directing The Returning Wealth Philanthropic Fund.
Current Projects
Harm To Healing Collaborative
In October 2025, Dr. Margolis accepted an invitation to join the board of directors of the Harm To Healing Collaborative. The organization had been providing rehabilitation programming in San Quentin State Prison as the Transformative Justice Institute for more than 20 years.
The Collaborative facilitates, in a number of formats:
- Restorative justice dialogues
- Circles
- Structured programs
These serve individuals and groups who have been harmed, those who have caused harm, and parties in conflict. The site directs readers to harmtohealingcollaborative.org for more information.
Redirected Lives
Redirected Lives grew out of volunteer teaching. Starting with the Spring 2022 semester, Dr. Margolis taught at Mount Tamalpais College in San Quentin Rehabilitation Center (formerly San Quentin State Prison) and continued for another five semesters. Through that work, he applied his training and experience as a rehabilitation psychologist to understand the rehabilitation process specific to the behavioral ecology of prison—an understanding that motivated him to spearhead the project.
The site links to a pitch document for Redirected Lives. It does not state the project's current stage, funding status, or how outside parties can participate.
The Returning Wealth Philanthropic Fund
The fund is a donor advised fund administered by the Jewish Communal Fund of New York, which Dr. Margolis began directing in 1994. Its early objectives were to support American Indian education and environmental organizations. Since 2016, its chief mission has been to support "peace camp" organizations.
Contact Information
The site includes a Contact section, but the page text provided does not list an email address, phone number, mailing address, or form. If you need to reach Dr. Margolis, check that section directly on etmargolis.com, since the details may appear there even though they are not captured in the text above.
