21 Years Experience
Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
Social isolation can quietly take root in our lives, leaving feelings of loneliness and disconnection that weigh heavily on the soul. In my practice, I offer a compassionate ear to those who feel adrift and disconnected from the world around them. Together, we explore pathways to reconnect with oneself and others, fostering meaningful relationships and a sense of belonging, step by gentle step.
16 Years Experience
Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer a compassionate and understanding approach to those experiencing social isolation. I recognize the deep sense of solitude and disconnection that can envelop your world, leaving you feeling as though you're on the periphery of life’s tapestry. With warmth and empathy, I journey with you to explore the underlying emotions and circumstances that contribute to this sense of isolation. Our work together is focused on rebuilding connections — with yourself and others — and rediscovering the joy and fulfillment of meaningful relationships. It’s a pathway towards re-engaging with the world, not just physically, but with a heart open to the richness of shared human experiences.

Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Removing ourselves from our lives can be a result of many things that we may feel conflicted by. The desire to understand these tendencies is very important to restore what we might hope for in living a meaningful and connected life.
Cameron Staley
Psychologist, Ph.D.
We need human connection and yet social isolation is increasingly common. I work to help individuals build the types of connection they want to create a more meaningful life.
