Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in social isolation, I provide compassionate and effective treatment for adolescents and adults experiencing loneliness and unwanted isolation. In our increasingly connected world, social isolation remains a silent crisis affecting communities—from older adults dealing with seclusion to younger generations facing unexpected challenges. My approach, grounded in evidence-based therapies such as CBT, is tailored to address the unique needs of each individual in a post-pandemic world.

Dr. Elizabeth Richards
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We live in an age of unprecedented connectivity, yet social isolation and loneliness are on the rise. Many people today are facing feelings of disconnection, difficulty forming relationships, or struggles with intimacy. Together, we’ll explore the emotional, relational, and behavioral patterns that contribute to isolation, including past experiences, self-perception, interpersonal dynamics, and the realities of the modern world. I’ll guide you towards increasing awareness of these patterns, while supporting the cultivation of meaningful connections and healthy boundaries. By combining reflective insight with practical strategies for social engagement, therapy provides a space to practice connection safely and intentionally. My goal is to help you feel more supported, engaged, and connected — both to yourself and to others — fostering a sense of belonging and emotional well-being. Feel free to reach out for a complementary 15-minute consultation if you think I might be the right therapist for you.
