Julie Millman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Loneliness is a much more common experience than most realize. Statistics indicate three out of every 5 adults complain of loneliness. That is ALOT of loneliness! Here we are experiencing this phenomenon in our individual houses and cubicles at work. We find ourselves at home "doing social life" on our computers instead of in person. All of course amplified/aggravated since the pandemic. Lets develop some goals to reduce the loneliness in your life. Lets strategize the steps you may be willing to consider to change this experience!

Social Isolation
Lisa 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! :) ).

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Humans are social animals. We are not the fastest animals nor the strongest, but one of our greatest strengths is that we are able work together and coordinate. People tend to be more emotionally healthy when they are connected to others. When cut off from social support people tend to not do as well in many areas of functioning. A variety of factors can result in isolation, including situational factors, as well as personal factors. Not everyone has the same social needs. Some people like to have one or two people very close to them, and others like to have a broad and active social life. As a clinician, taking into account people's relationships and social supports is a very important dimension in understanding what may be holding them back from thriving. Then understanding what is interfering with them having the relationships that would serve them well to have becomes another important step in the therapeutic process, and then this understanding can be used to support the client in taking the steps necessary to overcome those barriers. Quite often I help clients with this through what is called Interpersonal Psychotherapy, which involves making room in the therapy for hearing about the clients social interactions and relationships and then helping my clients to consider more effective ways of responding to others. Other times I help my clients become involved in new activities and communities which will provide opportunities to form new relationships.
