Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
When you’re outwardly successful but internally disconnected, isolation becomes a lonely companion—even in crowded rooms or surrounded by colleagues. Perhaps you’re adept at appearing socially engaged, but deep down you feel unseen or profoundly alone. Dr. Jenny Shields supports driven professionals to gently explore the roots of their isolation through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based techniques, and interpersonal therapy. With warmth and genuine understanding, she helps clients rebuild meaningful connections, move through barriers to intimacy, and regain a sense of authentic belonging—both personally and professionally.

Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Isolation is often misunderstood as a choice, but for many people it’s a form of protection. When relationships have felt unsafe or draining, pulling back can feel like the best option. Over time, though, it leads to disconnection and the world you live in becomes smaller and smaller. In therapy, we focus on understanding what’s driving that pattern and helping you rebuild connection in a way that feels manageable instead of overwhelming.

Sarah Rollins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Feeling disconnected from others can impact your emotional health, self-esteem, and overall well-being. Social isolation may happen gradually through depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, or major life changes. Therapy can help you process feelings of loneliness, strengthen emotional connection, and take steps toward building meaningful relationships and support systems.

Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
When we struggle mentally, emotionally, physically, or spiritually, we often withdraw. It’s important to examine and understand these irrational beliefs and patterns. All of these aspects can be rewired and transformed.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who feel socially isolated or disconnected, even though they want closer relationships. Many of the people I see are thoughtful, highly self‑aware, and sometimes feel out of sync with typical social norms. From the outside, it can look like you are doing fine; inside, you may feel alone, peripheral, or hard to really know. You may enjoy connection once it is happening, but getting there can feel complicated, effortful, or uncertain.
Social isolation can look like drifting away from friends without meaning to; keeping conversations on the surface because a deeper connection feels risky or confusing; or feeling invisible or on the edges in social settings. It can also look like wanting closeness but not knowing how to move toward it, feeling disconnected from your own needs or preferences, or carrying a sense that other people have an ease with relationships that you somehow missed. You may often feel judged, misread, or like people do not really understand you, which can make it even harder to risk reaching out.
I work extensively with adults navigating this kind of disconnection and know how heavy it can feel when most of your life is lived on your own. For many people, there can also be a long history of masking, camouflaging, or adapting to others that leaves you unsure what you actually want. Over time, this can lead to loneliness, self‑doubt, or a sense of being on the outside of your own life.
In our work together, we look closely at how these patterns developed and what they have been protecting you from. We make room for the part of you that has learned to be fiercely self‑sufficient, to rely on yourself because that has felt safest. From there, we explore small, meaningful steps toward connection that feel authentic and sustainable for you, with relationships where you can feel met and genuinely seen. You don’t have to manage this alone. This kind of work is central to my practice, and I approach it with a great deal of care.
