Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Mountain View Counseling, LLC
There are many reasons for social isolation. Once a person is isolated it can be hard to break out of that situation, or to even realize that there may be benefits from breaking out of isolation. Learn how to slowly and safely reintegrate yourself into the world without intense fear, self doubt and/or regret.

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.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Wow, post COVID there is a lot of social isolation. Some of it may be fear of infection, but most of it is just because we lost our routine social activities and the friends we used to see all the time. I can help you figure out how to purposely find good matching friends who have similar values, are like-minded, and who enjoy doing the things you like to do. When anxiety sets in I can help you manage that so you can still live your best life. I have helped many people develop new social networks, whether because of relocation. change in life circumstance, or just because they outgrew their old social network. It's scary but so worth it when you find your tribe.
