Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
When working with clients who experience social isolation, I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help them develop healthier social connections. Through CBT, we identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs that contribute to isolation. With ACT, we focus on accepting uncomfortable emotions while encouraging actions aligned with values, such as engaging in meaningful social activities. This combined approach helps clients build resilience, improve social skills, and create more fulfilling relationships.

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.

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! :) ).

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.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Feelings of loneliness or disconnection often develop alongside anxiety, trauma, or long-standing relational patterns. Therapy can help uncover the barriers that make connection feel difficult, including fear of rejection, past relational wounds, or chronic self-protection. Together we work toward building relationships that feel more authentic, reciprocal, and emotionally safe.

Jeremy Rhoades
Counselor/Therapist, MFT, LPCC, Harm Reduction Specialist, Psychedelic Integration Consultant
Social isolation is not always a bad thing. If you enjoy solitude, I am not here to tell you that you need a roommate. However, if you are looking to connect with others, we can discover what kinds of people you want to attract, and what kinds of boundaries you want to set in relationships.
