Social Isolation
Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Whether you have experienced a prolonged season of loneliness, feel disconnected from the people around you, or find it difficult to step back into the world, social isolation can take a profound toll on your mental health. Anne provides a exceptionally warm, welcoming, and collaborative space designed to help you safely bridge that gap. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, she partners with individuals to explore the emotional barriers, anxiety, and low self-esteem that keep them feeling cut off, helping them gently rebuild a sense of belonging and community.
Anne’s integrative approach is uniquely gentle for those navigating isolation. Recognizing that jumping straight back into heavy social interaction or intensive talk therapy can feel overwhelming, she blends evidence-based psychotherapy with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and creative art therapy. These tools provide a low-pressure, expressive outlet to process feelings of loneliness and regulate an anxious nervous system. Whether your isolation stems from a major life transition, trauma, deep grief, professional burnout, a chronic medical diagnosis, or the isolating landscape of early parenthood, Anne is dedicated to helping you move from survival to meaningful connection at your own pace.

Social Isolation
Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social isolation can feel both protective and painful—offering relief from stress or overwhelm while also leading to loneliness, disconnection, and a sense of being cut off from others. In therapy, we take time to understand how this pattern developed and what it’s been helping you manage. Together, we’ll explore the barriers to connection, gently expand your comfort with reaching out, and work toward building relationships that feel more supportive, meaningful, and sustainable over time.

Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
It’s possible to be around people and still feel deeply alone. You might find yourself wanting connection but not knowing how to get there, or feeling like you don’t quite fit in.
If you’re experiencing that sense of isolation, you’re not alone. In therapy, we’ll work together to understand what’s making connection feel difficult, build your confidence, and help you feel more at ease being yourself so relationships can begin to feel more natural and genuine.

Social Isolation
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who feel socially isolated or disconnected, even though they want closer relationships. Many of the people I see are thoughtful, highly self‑aware, and sometimes feel out of sync with typical social norms. From the outside, it can look like you are doing fine; inside, you may feel alone, peripheral, or hard to really know. You may enjoy connection once it is happening, but getting there can feel complicated, effortful, or uncertain.
Social isolation can look like drifting away from friends without meaning to; keeping conversations on the surface because a deeper connection feels risky or confusing; or feeling invisible or on the edges in social settings. It can also look like wanting closeness but not knowing how to move toward it, feeling disconnected from your own needs or preferences, or carrying a sense that other people have an ease with relationships that you somehow missed. You may often feel judged, misread, or like people do not really understand you, which can make it even harder to risk reaching out.
I work extensively with adults navigating this kind of disconnection and know how heavy it can feel when most of your life is lived on your own. For many people, there can also be a long history of masking, camouflaging, or adapting to others that leaves you unsure what you actually want. Over time, this can lead to loneliness, self‑doubt, or a sense of being on the outside of your own life.
In our work together, we look closely at how these patterns developed and what they have been protecting you from. We make room for the part of you that has learned to be fiercely self‑sufficient, to rely on yourself because that has felt safest. From there, we explore small, meaningful steps toward connection that feel authentic and sustainable for you, with relationships where you can feel met and genuinely seen. You don’t have to manage this alone. This kind of work is central to my practice, and I approach it with a great deal of care.

Social Isolation
Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Feeling alone and being alone can be similar and different. Social isolation is painful even if we don't realize it. Leaving the house is hard. Getting out of your comfort zone can feel wrong. Doing what is unfamiliar can be anxiety provoking. And yet, when we are isolated, our hearts get lonely. Alone time isn't bad but being so far off from others in a consistent way often means there is something else going on. Being introverted or extroverted is not good or bad. They're just unique and different. Maybe your social isolation comes from where you live, life circumstances, an illness, depression, your schedule, or something else entirely. Let's unpack it together. We will go at your pace.

When you’re outwardly successful but internally disconnected, isolation becomes a lonely companion—even in crowded rooms or surrounded by colleagues. Perhaps you’re adept at appearing socially engaged, but deep down you feel unseen or profoundly alone. Dr. Jenny Shields supports driven professionals to gently explore the roots of their isolation through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based techniques, and interpersonal therapy. With warmth and genuine understanding, she helps clients rebuild meaningful connections, move through barriers to intimacy, and regain a sense of authentic belonging—both personally and professionally.
