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.

Ciara Shellman
Therapist
As a therapist, I’ve focused on the profound impact of social isolation on mental and emotional well-being. Understanding that isolation can stem from a variety of sources—whether it’s life transitions, remote work environments, or personal challenges—I offer a compassionate, empathetic approach to therapy. My aim is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can openly discuss your experiences and feelings of disconnection. Together, we’ll explore underlying causes, develop strategies for building meaningful connections, and work towards integrating more fulfilling social interactions into your life. I’m here to support you in breaking the cycle of isolation, guiding you towards a sense of community and belonging that enriches your life.
