Psychologist, PsyD
Isolation is rarely chosen. It accumulates — one declined invitation, one more evening alone, one more year of the gap between you and other people widening until crossing it feels impossible. The loneliness is real, but so is the protection: being alone means no one can see you, which means no one can find you lacking. The work begins by taking the isolation seriously — not as a problem to be solved by forcing yourself into the world, but as something that made sense once and may no longer be serving the life you actually want.

Psychologist, PhD
Social isolation and loneliness can become significant concerns in adulthood. Demanding schedules, remote work, relocation, life transitions, changing relationships, or limited opportunities to meet people can make connection difficult to establish or maintain. You may also feel lonely even when other people are present if your relationships do not provide the understanding, belonging, or closeness you need. Though social connection involves vulnerability and can bring uncertainty, rejection, disappointment, misunderstanding, or conflict, it is still important and still worthwhile. While those risks can make withdrawing or avoiding connection feel safer, isolation comes at a real cost.
Therapy can help you understand the practical, emotional, and relational barriers to connection in your life; identify the kinds of relationships and community you want; and take manageable steps toward building new connections or strengthening existing ones. Our work may also involve developing greater comfort with vulnerability, navigating conflict and boundaries, and responding to setbacks without giving up on connection.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who feel socially isolated or disconnected, even though they want closer relationships. Many of the people I see are thoughtful, highly self‑aware, and sometimes feel out of sync with typical social norms. From the outside, it can look like you are doing fine; inside, you may feel alone, peripheral, or hard to really know. You may enjoy connection once it is happening, but getting there can feel complicated, effortful, or uncertain.
Social isolation can look like drifting away from friends without meaning to; keeping conversations on the surface because a deeper connection feels risky or confusing; or feeling invisible or on the edges in social settings. It can also look like wanting closeness but not knowing how to move toward it, feeling disconnected from your own needs or preferences, or carrying a sense that other people have an ease with relationships that you somehow missed. You may often feel judged, misread, or like people do not really understand you, which can make it even harder to risk reaching out.
I work extensively with adults navigating this kind of disconnection and know how heavy it can feel when most of your life is lived on your own. For many people, there can also be a long history of masking, camouflaging, or adapting to others that leaves you unsure what you actually want. Over time, this can lead to loneliness, self‑doubt, or a sense of being on the outside of your own life.
In our work together, we look closely at how these patterns developed and what they have been protecting you from. We make room for the part of you that has learned to be fiercely self‑sufficient, to rely on yourself because that has felt safest. From there, we explore small, meaningful steps toward connection that feel authentic and sustainable for you, with relationships where you can feel met and genuinely seen. You don’t have to manage this alone. This kind of work is central to my practice, and I approach it with a great deal of care.
