Dr. Elizabeth Richards
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We live in an age of unprecedented connectivity, yet social isolation and loneliness are on the rise. Many people today are facing feelings of disconnection, difficulty forming relationships, or struggles with intimacy. Together, we’ll explore the emotional, relational, and behavioral patterns that contribute to isolation, including past experiences, self-perception, interpersonal dynamics, and the realities of the modern world. I’ll guide you towards increasing awareness of these patterns, while supporting the cultivation of meaningful connections and healthy boundaries. By combining reflective insight with practical strategies for social engagement, therapy provides a space to practice connection safely and intentionally. My goal is to help you feel more supported, engaged, and connected — both to yourself and to others — fostering a sense of belonging and emotional well-being. Feel free to reach out for a complementary 15-minute consultation if you think I might be the right therapist for you.

Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who feel isolated, disconnected, lonely, or as though they struggle to find a genuine sense of belonging and connection with others. Together, we explore the emotional, relational, and protective patterns that may contribute to withdrawing from others, difficulty trusting, fear of rejection, or feeling safer alone. My work helps clients develop greater awareness of their needs and boundaries while building a stronger sense of safety and connection within themselves and with others. Through a trauma-informed, somatic, and relational approach, we work toward creating more meaningful relationships while honoring the parts of you that may have learned that disconnection was necessary for protection.

Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults overcome social isolation and build meaningful, fulfilling connections with others. Feelings of loneliness and disconnection can arise from anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, chronic health conditions, or past experiences of rejection and loss. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), interpersonal strategies, and mindfulness-based techniques, I help clients increase confidence in social situations, strengthen communication skills, address barriers to connection, and develop supportive relationships. My goal is to help clients cultivate a greater sense of belonging, improve emotional well-being, and create a more connected and satisfying life.

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.
