I am trying to use my Adobe Photoshop Editor and it's not doing anything, it just says "loading adobe photoshop elements editor workspace" and then does nothing.
I've tried reinstalling several times, and restarting and shutting down my Mac but nothing.

you can try resetting your preferences, but your os is not compatible with pse 2019, https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/system-requirements.html so that may not succeed.

you may not have installed the program correctly, if you already had it for a long time you can restore your information or check if your payment is still valid, greetings.

One other thing to try:
Click System Preferences in the dock and open Security & Privacy
Choose the Privacy tab and the choose Accessibility
Click the lock to unlock (you may be prompted for your Apple system login password)
Then click the plus button to add the Editor and/or Organizer app. If already listed ensure it has a checkmark. See image below.
Navigate to:
To add the Editor:
Macintosh HD >> Applications >> Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019 >> Support Files
Choose (highlight) Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app and click open
To add the Organizer:
Macintosh HD >> Applications
Choose (highlight) Adobe Elements 2019 Organizer.app and click open
Re-lock and try launching Elements again. Even if not added to the control list, this often makes a difference after closing Security & Privacy.
Let us know if it works.

Did you also trash the prefs? PSE 2019 is running OK for me on Mojave. Try deleting manually.
Quit Elements
Launch Finder and go to your Username >>Library >> Preferences
Send the following files/folders to the trash:
Adobe Photoshop Elements 17 Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 17 Settings
com.adobe.Elements Organizer.17.plist
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
The library is hidden in recent versions of Mac OS. To get to your user library quickly, from the top menu in Finder, click “Go” whilst holding down the Option (Alt) key and your user Library will appear for you to choose.
After deleting the above, reboot by clicking the apple logo (top-left) and choosing restart. Then try launching Elements again. Let us know if that improves things.
