Social Isolation
Alistair Highet
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LP, NCPsyA
We need other people to tell us who we are. We discover the value of ourselves in relation to those who value us. When we get isolated, we can literally get lost. In therapy you can perhaps find your core self again. I can help you ease the distortions that follow social isolation, help you to re-discover your warmth, and help you open a door to more fulfilling relationships.

Social Isolation
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for social isolation and related concerns, including loneliness, disconnection, difficulty forming or maintaining relationships, withdrawal from social contact, and feeling emotionally distant from others. Social isolation can significantly impact mental health, contributing to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and a reduced sense of meaning, belonging, and connection.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to social isolation, helping clients understand the emotional, psychological, and relational factors that may be contributing to withdrawal or disconnection from others. For many individuals, social isolation is connected to past trauma, attachment wounds, rejection experiences, social anxiety, or long-standing beliefs about safety, trust, or self-worth in relationships.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process underlying emotional pain, reduce avoidance patterns, and rebuild the capacity for safe and meaningful connection with others. Therapy focuses on strengthening emotional resilience, improving self-awareness, and gently increasing comfort in relational and social environments.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to identify barriers to connection, explore past experiences that may have contributed to isolation, and develop practical, individualized steps toward rebuilding relationships and social engagement at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
Therapy is supportive, non-judgmental, and tailored to each client’s needs, with an emphasis on emotional safety, empowerment, and sustainable change. The goal is not forced social engagement, but helping clients reconnect with others in ways that feel authentic, manageable, and aligned with their personal comfort level.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond isolation, rebuild meaningful connections, and experience greater belonging, emotional well-being, and quality of life.

Social Isolation
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.

Social Isolation
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Social isolation is a very real problem of our modern age. As much as we think we can go it alone, humans were built to be part of the herd, and we need connections with others of our species. If left untreated, it can lead to all kinds of physical, mental and emotional conditions. When tackling social isolation with hypnosis, we program in new commands that make it feel safe again to be around others. We hardwire in new commands that program you to enjoy socialization and give you the tools to make it a reality. By exploring the underlying emotions and beliefs, we develop a new way to reframe with healthier ways of being, so you always feel safe in the presence of others. We get you there with a nervous system reset and provide the tools needed to use in case you spiral. Within a few moments, you will be equipped to emotionally regulate yourself and proceed into a social situation with calm and ease. We may use hypnosis, regression, breathwork, EMT, Gestalt, and other modalities.
