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.

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.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Social isolation comes when the external world no longer seems a viable investment of your Self. The people, places, things and events do not feed you. Or you may be afraid of something or some part of what they represent. And yet in the end we are social creatures, and crave connection. Let's shine a light into the dark spaces with you and mend what needs mending.

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.

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.

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.
