Social Isolation
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Isolation may feel protective but often deepens loneliness and shame. I use IFS, attachment work, and integrative approaches to help clients explore the parts that fear connection and slowly build safety in relationships. Somatic and mindfulness practices support regulation in social settings. My diagnostic expertise clarifies overlap with depression, trauma, or personality disorders, and I work with prescribers when needed.

Social Isolation
Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Isolation was a concern even before the pandemic - some of it blamed on social media and living online, which became the norm for many people over the past year. And yet isolation existed before this, sometimes because of self esteem and lack of confidence or difficulty with connecting with other people for different reasons.

Social Isolation
Dr. Lindsay Perrin

Many people experience loneliness or a sense of disconnection, even when they are surrounded by others. While technology and social media have made it easier to stay connected in some ways, they can also leave us feeling isolated and longing for more meaningful relationships.

Together, we'll identify practical, personalized ways to expand your support system, strengthen existing relationships, and create a greater sense of belonging in your community and everyday life.

Social Isolation
Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Social isolation is rarely a logistics problem. People who feel deeply isolated often have people around them. The isolation lives in the gap between being seen and feeling truly known, a gap that is usually held by subconscious beliefs like "I do not belong", "people will leave" or "the real me is not safe to show". RTT works directly with those beliefs. Once the underlying pattern updates, reaching out tends to feel less effortful and connection starts to land where it used to bounce off. I work online via Zoom with adults around the world and offer a free 20-minute discovery call as the first step.

Social Isolation
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Isolation is rarely chosen. It accumulates — one declined invitation, one more evening alone, one more year of the gap between you and other people widening until crossing it feels impossible. The loneliness is real, but so is the protection: being alone means no one can see you, which means no one can find you lacking. The work begins by taking the isolation seriously — not as a problem to be solved by forcing yourself into the world, but as something that made sense once and may no longer be serving the life you actually want.

Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I help individuals address social isolation and the loneliness that often accompanies it, easing distress while rebuilding pathways to connection. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we make sense of what is happening at and beneath the surface—protective distance, discouragement, and meanings carried from past experience—and turn that understanding into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less withdrawal and resignation, more ease, choice, and a felt sense of belonging.

Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
