Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are experiencing social isolation, you may feel disconnected, unseen, or unsure how to re-engage with others. You might spend long periods alone, withdraw after hurt or disappointment, or feel that forming or maintaining relationships takes more energy than you have. Over time, isolation can quietly affect mood, confidence, and overall well-being.
At Selah Counselling, we approach social isolation with understanding and care. Disconnection often develops as a protective response to stress, rejection, trauma, or life transition. Together, we explore what led to the withdrawal and gently build steps toward a safe, meaningful connection. We focus on strengthening self-awareness, emotional regulation, and communication skills so that relationships feel less overwhelming and more supportive. Our goal is to help you move from isolation toward healthy connection at a pace that respects your capacity and your story.

Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Feeling cut off, lonely, or profoundly disconnected from others can weigh heavily on both your mental and physical well-being. Whether social isolation has crept in gradually over time due to life changes, remote work, health challenges, or a deep sense of not fitting in, living without meaningful connection can make the world feel gray and exhausting. You do not have to bridge that gap alone. Using a collaborative, evidence-based approach, we will work together to explore what is keeping you stuck, gently address the barriers or fears surrounding connection, and build practical, low-pressure steps to help you re-engage with a supportive community and bring warmth back into your daily life.

Angela Popovici
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, B.Sc Psych, MACP
I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for individuals experiencing social isolation or loneliness. I understand how isolation can affect mental health, relationships, and overall well-being, and believes that building connection and self-confidence is key to fostering emotional balance.
Using an integrative approach I helps clients identify barriers to social engagement, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop practical strategies to increase meaningful connection. My approach emphasizes self-compassion, empowerment, and small, achievable steps toward building supportive relationships.
I offer a compassionate environment where clients can reduce feelings of isolation, strengthen social confidence, and cultivate more fulfilling personal connections—one thoughtful step at a time.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Social isolation is rarely just about a lack of opportunity; it is often a profound survival strategy—a way for your system to create safety by retreating from a world that has felt overwhelming or unsafe. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in trauma and mental health, I help you understand the 'parts' of you that have chosen isolation as a form of protection.
We move beyond the pressure to 'just get out more' to exploring the underlying fears of rejection or exhaustion that keep you withdrawn. By using a Parts Work lens, we work to build internal safety and self-compassion, helping you gradually bridge the gap between isolation and authentic connection. My goal is to help you move at your own pace toward a life where you feel secure enough to be seen and known by others.
