We need human connection and yet social isolation is increasingly common. I work to help individuals build the types of connection they want to create a more meaningful life.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I address social isolation with a compassionate and faith-centered approach, integrating psychological insights with Christian principles to guide individuals toward connection and community. Recognizing the emotional and spiritual impact of social isolation, I create a supportive environment that incorporates prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on the importance of fellowship. Encouraging individuals to draw strength from their faith, I collaborate to explore the root causes of social isolation and develop strategies for building meaningful connections. This may involve integrating into church or faith communities and fostering a sense of belonging. By emphasizing Christian values such as love, compassion, and community, I aim to empower individuals to overcome social isolation, cultivate relationships, and experience the transformative power of connection within the context of their Christian beliefs.

Social Isolation
Bethany Anderson
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.

Social Isolation
Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Wow, post COVID there is a lot of social isolation. Some of it may be fear of infection, but most of it is just because we lost our routine social activities and the friends we used to see all the time. I can help you figure out how to purposely find good matching friends who have similar values, are like-minded, and who enjoy doing the things you like to do. When anxiety sets in I can help you manage that so you can still live your best life. I have helped many people develop new social networks, whether because of relocation. change in life circumstance, or just because they outgrew their old social network. It's scary but so worth it when you find your tribe.
