Social Isolation therapists in Herndon, Virginia VA
Social Isolation
Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer a compassionate and understanding approach to those experiencing social isolation. I recognize the deep sense of solitude and disconnection that can envelop your world, leaving you feeling as though you're on the periphery of life’s tapestry. With warmth and empathy, I journey with you to explore the underlying emotions and circumstances that contribute to this sense of isolation. Our work together is focused on rebuilding connections — with yourself and others — and rediscovering the joy and fulfillment of meaningful relationships. It’s a pathway towards re-engaging with the world, not just physically, but with a heart open to the richness of shared human experiences.

Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Social Isolation can occur for many reasons but over time creates a sense of loneliness and disconnection from the world. I work with clients to process the "why" behind their isolation and support them as they take steps to increase socialization.
