Social Isolation
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.

Social Isolation
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?

Social Isolation
Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Support for experiences of loneliness, disconnection, belonging, and the challenges of finding relationships, communities, and environments where you can show up authentically. This work is particularly relevant for neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, highly sensitive, LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, multicultural, and otherwise marginalized individuals who may have spent years masking, adapting, code-switching, self-monitoring, or feeling unseen, misunderstood, or out of place.
Social isolation is not always about being physically alone. It can also arise from feeling disconnected while surrounded by others, feeling unable to fully express who you are, struggling to find people who share your experiences, or carrying the exhaustion of constantly adapting yourself in order to belong. For many people, experiences of rejection, bullying, exclusion, trauma, discrimination, chronic illness, disability, neurodivergence, or identity-based marginalization can shape not only relationships, but also the nervous system, self-concept, and expectations of connection itself.
This work explores how experiences of belonging, exclusion, attachment, culture, family systems, identity, trauma, and community have influenced the ways you relate to yourself and others. Particular attention is given to the ways masking, people-pleasing, hypervigilance, self-silencing, rejection sensitivity, and other adaptive strategies may have developed in response to environments where authenticity did not always feel safe or welcomed.
My approach integrates mindfulness, somatic therapy, EMDR, parts work, expressive arts, neuropsychotherapy, attachment-focused approaches, and liberation-oriented healing. Rather than focusing on becoming someone different in order to fit in, therapy supports reconnecting with your own voice, values, needs, interests, and authentic ways of relating. Through greater self-understanding, nervous system awareness, and self-trust, space is created for more meaningful connection with yourself, others, and communities where your full humanity can be seen, supported, and understood.
The goal is not simply to reduce loneliness, but to cultivate a deeper sense of belonging—to yourself, to your relationships, to your communities, and to the parts of who you are that may have been hidden, minimized, or left behind in the pursuit of acceptance.

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.

Social Isolation
Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Feeling emotionally lonely? It takes time to find your people, especially when you're new to the area, work long hours, got bullied, or are dealing with a break-up. It's okay to turtle sometimes. You can be a lone wolf — and find a wolf pack. If you have difficulties trusting others or being truly open, then of course, friendships would be tricky. I can help you feel genuinely connected with at least one other person (besides me! :) ).

Dennis Sapire
Psychologist, JD PhD
Working with an older adult population, I find loneliness and social isolation are common among single people. This might be associated with depression (caused or causal) and can be intensely painful. I find great joy in being able to help clients energize their social lives and resolve the pain of loneliness.

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.

Social isolation can be challenging and has gotten significantly worse since COVID. Sometimes with social isolation is social anxiety. Although it can feel overwhelming, it can be improved with a trained therapist.

Social Isolation
David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
Humans are wired for connection and we live increasingly in a world that makes it harder to connect with others, despite technology. My acceptance and commitment therapy approach can support you in understanding why you might not be feeling social, including uncovering how you may be protecting yourself. These then give us the motivation to tolerate the discomfort of moving towards things that are important to us.
