Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Isolation is rarely just introversion. It's often a protection strategy — a way of avoiding rejection, judgment, or the vulnerability of being known and still left. At Simple Empathy we work with the parts of you that have decided connection is too risky, and we get honest about what experiences taught you that. This isn't about forcing you into social situations. It's about understanding the wall, who built it, and whether it's still keeping you safe or just keeping you alone.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Social isolation can occur for a number of reasons with effects on people ranging from distressing to crippling. Following a thorough assessment, I apply one of several contemporary forms of psychodynamic or cognitive-behavior therapy to help people become more engaged with others.

We provide psychotherapy for individuals experiencing social isolation and difficulty maintaining meaningful social connections. Our approach focuses on understanding the emotional, cognitive, and situational factors that contribute to withdrawal and disconnection, while helping clients develop practical skills to build and sustain supportive relationships. Through evidence-based strategies, we work on increasing comfort in social situations, improving communication and interpersonal effectiveness, and addressing barriers such as anxiety, low mood, or past relational experiences. Treatment is tailored to each individual, with the goal of fostering greater connection, support, and a stronger sense of belonging.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I work with individuals experiencing social isolation from a trauma-informed, strengths-based perspective. Feeling disconnected can arise from life transitions, mental health challenges, systemic barriers, or past relational trauma, and it often affects both emotional and physical well-being. In therapy, we explore the factors contributing to isolation, the impact on your sense of self, and the patterns that may keep you disconnected.
Our work focuses on building meaningful connection, fostering self-compassion, and developing strategies to navigate social environments in ways that feel safe and authentic. Therapy becomes a space to reconnect with yourself and others, strengthen relational skills, and cultivate sustainable ways of belonging that honor your needs, boundaries, and values.
