Social Isolation
Anneka Gavrin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Feeling isolated can happen even when you're surrounded by people. Whether you've drifted away from relationships, struggle to feel understood, or find it difficult to reach out, loneliness can take a real emotional toll. Therapy offers a place to explore what's keeping you disconnected, strengthen your relationships, and cultivate a greater sense of belonging—with others and with yourself.

Struggles with coping with social isolation can lead to problems with relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can explore how to address your feelings of social isolation and how these struggles may impact your happiness and ability to get what you want. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.

Social Isolation
Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Isolation can be both a protective response and a painful experience. If connection has felt unsafe or disappointing, withdrawing may have been your nervous system's way of coping. Together, we explore what makes connection feel difficult while gradually building capacity for meaningful, authentic relationships.

Social Isolation
Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I work with both adults and adolescents on an individual basis. Individual psychotherapy helps clients deal with particular issues, symptoms, and stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore who you are, how you relate to others, and what supports you on your journey to become your best self. I lean into, listen, understand, and enhance authentic expression. Together we create a collaborative process of transformation. What that means and what that looks like is different for everyone...
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
Third wave interventions also promote well-being through developing coping skills, personal values, and metacognition that complement traditional CBT interventions. I provide flexible, customizable approaches that look different with each patient. I empower my clients to discover their strength, clarity, creativity, autonomy, resilience, motivation, and confidence in meeting whatever happens next. I provide individualized tools to use in everyday decision-making that will help those changes last. With these modalities I treat individuals who are impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, burnout, divorce, loss, uncertainty, stigma, and other life experiences, diagnoses, and stressors. We explore the sources, experiences, and beliefs that impact how you relate with the world and implement change in your life. You are the expert on you, but are you your most effective and content self?

Social Isolation
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD

Social isolation often reflects both a longing for connection and a need for emotional protection. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and relational understanding to examine the internal conflicts that shape withdrawal and distance. This process supports renewed openness to relationship and belonging.

Social Isolation
Michael Nakhla

Social isolation has profound effects on mental and physical health, yet breaking patterns of withdrawal can feel overwhelming. I help clients understand the factors contributing to their isolation—whether anxiety, depression, past trauma, or other challenges—and develop a gradual, sustainable plan for rebuilding connection. My approach emphasizes self-compassion while helping you take small steps toward more meaningful social engagement.

Staten Island's suburban character and strong Italian-American and Eastern European heritage shape a therapy culture that has historically carried some skepticism about mental health treatment, even as demand has grown substantially. The borough was among the hardest hit in New York City by the opioid epidemic, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery, grief, and trauma from loss remain a central part of the community's mental health infrastructure. Staten Island University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while private practices are concentrated in Stapleton, Todt Hill, and the North Shore. Many residents also access therapy in New Jersey or Manhattan, reflecting the borough's geographic position at the outer edge of the city.
