Social Isolation
Ciara Shellman
Therapist
As a therapist, I’ve focused on the profound impact of social isolation on mental and emotional well-being. Understanding that isolation can stem from a variety of sources—whether it’s life transitions, remote work environments, or personal challenges—I offer a compassionate, empathetic approach to therapy. My aim is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can openly discuss your experiences and feelings of disconnection. Together, we’ll explore underlying causes, develop strategies for building meaningful connections, and work towards integrating more fulfilling social interactions into your life. I’m here to support you in breaking the cycle of isolation, guiding you towards a sense of community and belonging that enriches your life.

Social Isolation
David A. Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Usually, when people become depressed, they isolate themselves from important relationships with others. I work empathically and non-judgmentally with my clients to help them see ways they may be isolating themselves and keeping themselves from getting comfort from others that would help their depression.

It is not difficult in today's world to feel a sense of isolation - either because you live on your own, or because it can be a challenge to really connect with others around you. We will examine and work to overcome what may drive your social isolation, whether that is not finding a place to fit in, lacking ways to connect with like-minded others, or other physical or mental health barriers to being connected.

Social Isolation
Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel calm and confident in social situations, but instead you are so afraid that you will look stupid or be rejected that you have started avoiding spending time with others altogether. It has been hard for you to manage this level of social isolation on your own. Each day it becomes more difficult to focus on anything other than those worst-case scenarios that your mind so quickly creates. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus, and I help women find relief from social isolation. I can help you, too. Online psychotherapy is particularly helpful in the early stages of treatment for social isolation. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.
