Feeling socially isolated can be painful and lonely, often leading to sadness, anxiety, or disconnection from others and even from yourself.

With Christ-centered guidance, clients learn to overcome loneliness, foster healthy relationships, and experience greater emotional and spiritual well-being.

Feelings of loneliness and isolation can be deeply painful and often affect emotional well-being, self-esteem, and relationships.

Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Isolation can be both a protective response and a painful experience. If connection has felt unsafe or disappointing, withdrawing may have been your nervous system's way of coping. Together, we explore what makes connection feel difficult while gradually building capacity for meaningful, authentic relationships.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Loneliness and disconnection are among the most painful human experiences and they're far more common than people realize. Whether isolation crept in gradually or followed a major life change, therapy helps you understand what's keeping you stuck and begin building the connections and sense of belonging you're looking for. You were made for relationship and we help you find your way back to it.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I work with both adults and adolescents on an individual basis. Individual psychotherapy helps clients deal with particular issues, symptoms, and stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore who you are, how you relate to others, and what supports you on your journey to become your best self. I lean into, listen, understand, and enhance authentic expression. Together we create a collaborative process of transformation. What that means and what that looks like is different for everyone...
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
Third wave interventions also promote well-being through developing coping skills, personal values, and metacognition that complement traditional CBT interventions. I provide flexible, customizable approaches that look different with each patient. I empower my clients to discover their strength, clarity, creativity, autonomy, resilience, motivation, and confidence in meeting whatever happens next. I provide individualized tools to use in everyday decision-making that will help those changes last. With these modalities I treat individuals who are impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, burnout, divorce, loss, uncertainty, stigma, and other life experiences, diagnoses, and stressors. We explore the sources, experiences, and beliefs that impact how you relate with the world and implement change in your life. You are the expert on you, but are you your most effective and content self?

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
One word. Pandemic. For many of us it rattled us to our core, oftentimes leading to paralyzing anxiety about an unknown future. Humans don't deal well with so much uncertainty, and having someone to talk through it with can be very comforting, humanizing and help reduce the isolation. Also, you need sun on your skin and regular soothing and uplifting activities to break the isolation/depression cycle.

Jennifer Masters
Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Grief can make social connection feel exhausting. Many grievers are already physically and emotionally drained from grief brain, poor sleep, racing thoughts, nightmares, grief overload, or the constant effort of getting through the day. When other people ask how they are, judge how long grief is lasting, offer unwanted advice, or expect them to “get back to normal,” it can feel easier to pull away.
I support adults who feel isolated, disconnected, or too tired to keep up with friends, family, hobbies, or social plans after a loss. I explain why this can happen in grief, why it makes sense, and why it is not a personal failure. I also offer practical tools to help clients manage exhaustion, soften isolation, set boundaries with others, and slowly reconnect with people, routines, and interests in a way that feels possible for them.

Ben Leddick
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It can be difficult to take the first step in connecting with others around you. While alone, you can be fully in control but this lacks the fundamental part of life: relationship. Overcoming social isolation takes the first step of reaching out to address the patterns that have kept you alone and continue the courageous step of reconnecting with those around you.

Psychologist, PsyD
In my practice, I assist individuals experiencing isolation by integrating therapeutic approaches that promote acceptance of emotions and encourage engagement in meaningful social activities. We work to reduce avoidance behaviors and work towards goals aligned with their personal values. Additionally, by exploring past experiences and unconscious patterns, clients gain insight into the root causes of their isolation, enabling them to overcome the internal obstacles in the way of their goals.

San Francisco's extreme housing costs and the psychological toll of the tech industry — characterized by intense performance pressure, rapid layoff cycles, and boom-bust uncertainty — have made burnout, anxiety, and economic grief among the most common presenting concerns. The city has a historically significant LGBTQ+ community, and affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, queer relationships, and HIV-related concerns remain an important part of the local therapy landscape. UCSF Health provides world-class institutional mental health resources, while the city's dense network of independent practitioners reflects a culture that has long embraced therapy as a normal and valued part of life. Telehealth has expanded access significantly for Bay Area residents commuting from Oakland, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.
