Timothy Long
Registered Psychotherapist
I suffered from social isolation for many years. I also had severe social anxiety. And I had severe chronic blushing. For many years I had very little social life and my career suffered terribly. I truly understand this issue of social isolation from the point of view as person, a client, and as a coach and therapist. Please reach out to me by scheduling a free 30 minute complimentary consultation so we can discuss how I can help you. It won't be as difficult as you imagine. You deserve a full life, and it is totally possible.

Chris Davis
Counselor/Therapist, M.A.
Isolation isn't always the same as being alone. You can have people around you and still feel disconnected, unseen, or unable to let others know you deeply. I work with clients to understand the patterns that make connection difficult—including withdrawal, fear of vulnerability, past relational experiences, or simply not knowing how to reach for what they need—and to develop more meaningful ways of relating to themselves and others.

Susana Levy, Makaua Art Therapy
Art Therapist, LPCC, ATRP
My specialty is supporting people experiencing social isolation through mindfulness-based, person-centered practices that foster connection and belonging. Drawing on rituals and rites of passage, along with my work as a cacao facilitator and yoga teacher, I create warm, grounding spaces where shared humanity, creativity, and expression are welcomed. I value compassionate presence and embodied awareness as ways to gently explore thoughts, emotions, and sensations in the here and now, helping restore a sense of connection to self and others.

Social isolation can be difficult and lonely, but support and connection are possible. I help clients understand the factors contributing to isolation, build meaningful relationships, and develop strategies to engage with others while maintaining balance and self-care.

David Redbord
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MPH, LPCC
Social isolation is its own vicious cycle. You’re by yourself so you feel sad and lonely.
You get in the habit of not connecting with others, so then when the opportunity to connect arises, you feel irritable and out of sorts.
Then you judge yourself for not connecting well enough with that other person.
This keeps you isolated.
To deal with social isolation, there are a couple of key approaches:
1. Change your habits. Get out of the rut. Start to identify opportunities to socialize. Take action to follow through on those opportunities.
2. Connect with yourself. Learn additional skills to make connection with others easier. The more willing you are to connect to yourself; to your feelings, needs, wants, etc. the easier it becomes to connect with others.
I’d welcome the opportunity to support you in socializing more, and to create meaningful connections with yourself and others. Please reach out to see how we can work together.

Kim Colna
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social Isolation is a complete or near complete lack of contact between society. This is caused by an underlying mental health disorder. With my expertise, we can find the underlying issue and use CBT, DBT, ACT, TFCBT, and solution focused therapy as our treatment approach.

Let's work together to explore ways to increase your social connections, healthy coping strategies, and build more outlets to reduce your 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.

Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC
Psychologist
Social isolation can affect emotional well-being, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. I work with adults who feel lonely, disconnected, or unsure how to re-engage with others. Whether you have experienced recent life changes, anxiety, loss, or long-standing patterns of withdrawal, therapy can provide a supportive space to explore your experience and move toward more meaningful connection. I use evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychoeducation, and mindfulness-informed strategies to help clients reconnect with others and with themselves. If you are feeling isolated or stuck, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.

Boulder is home to the University of Colorado Boulder and has one of the highest educational attainment rates and most progressive cultures of any American city, with exceptional access to therapy—CU's graduate programs produce many trained clinicians—alongside the specific pressures of a city with extreme housing costs, intense social comparison around physical fitness and achievement, and a large university student population. The 2021 King Soopers mass shooting created community-level trauma that remains present in Boulder's collective consciousness, and local therapists have significant experience with trauma-informed care. The city's outdoor recreation culture and emphasis on wellness are genuine assets but can also create pressure around physical appearance and lifestyle perfection that feeds anxiety and disordered eating. Common therapy concerns include academic perfectionism, housing insecurity anxiety, trauma, the psychological pressure of an exceptionally high-achieving and health-conscious culture, and student mental health.
