Social Isolation therapists in Ceres, California CA
Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social isolation is a growing problem today. It’s been linked to more than just being alone, though—it can lead to serious health problems like depression and anxiety, in addition to the physical effects of not getting enough social interaction. But what exactly does it mean? Let’s talk about that!
Social alienation (a psychological state) and social exclusion (referring to a structural problem in society) can lead to loneliness, boredom, and even depression. Some people may experience all these emotions when they don’t have meaningful relationships in their lives; they suffer from an empty emotional life that doesn’t add up because it has no value, so it leads them down a path of unhappiness.
What is Social Isolation?
The feelings people get when they’re lonely are typically different than when they’re depressed or anxious – loneliness might be what happens when you feel like no one understands you or wants to be around you no matter how hard you try and change.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social isolation can lead to depression, anxiety, accelerated cognitive decline, low self worth and irritability. I describe "Social Medicine" as a goal in therapy to increase social connections, which leads to a more content lifestyle. In therapy we can discuss ways to increase social interactions as well as improve mood.

Ilah Brock - Central Valley Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht
We have been a world of isolated peoples and now that many areas of this great planet are starting to open and see the world again. Having been required to isolate has created a sense of desire to socialize and it can manifest as a phobia. You are not necessarily feeling lonely as much as just an inner isolation and being around people can be a little scary. Contact me - Let's chat about this.
Some conditions may warrant a medical or menthal health awareness referral.

Having time to ourselves can be most valuable. If it is negatively impacting other parts of our lives, such as work or relationships, it may need to be addressed
