Social Isolation
New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
Naturally humans are social creatures yet social relationships and interactions, for many people, can be a source of discomfort and pain. There's a huge difference between taking time to be alone and feeling isolated - when we chose to spend time alone we find joy and comfort in this. When we're isolated, we either feel we have no one to turn to, we might get the feeling that nobody cares about us, or going out or spending time around others might cause us great levels of stress, worry, or fear.
In a modern and post-pandemic world, social isolation is becoming more and more common. While it can be a side effect of the fast paced life style and shift to virtual work, social isolation is often a symptom of another mental health condition and an attempt to find relief from it. For example, people who have experienced a traumatic event might choose to self-isolate to protect themselves, or someone who is experiencing depression might self-isolate because they have lost joy in social interactions.
Our therapists can help you get to the root of what is causing the desire to isolate socially and can provide you with evidence-based support to heal and create a meaningful and fulfilling social life.
Contact us today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation with our therapists. During this call you can ask any questions that you might have and learn how we might be able to help!

Andrea Rowell
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
It takes courage to reach out! Certain conditions like a busy city or a life transition can lead to feeling alone and isolated. The meaning of life and your values may even she shaken. I center our relationship as a priority when we work together, and learning the IFS (internal family systems) approach may even support you to feel the long-lasting sense of connection within yourself. I'd be glad to meet you for a free consultation so you can start with getting a feel for how we would work together.

Whether it be due to self-esteem, geography or physical/ mental health issues, feeling isolated and alone can be a detriment to our overall wellness and health. Learning to pinpoint the roadblocks, problem solve the solutions and practice skills necessary to overcome them are all important steps to finding our folks and creating strong, healthy connections.

Sarah Elizabeth McMillan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
Mental health support for physical illness, pain and uncertainty. Dealing with ongoing pain, physical discomfort and fatigue, whether stemming from an illness, disability or injury, can be a lonely experience. We may struggle to plan our daily activities, not knowing how we will feel at any given moment and fulfilling long term goals may feel out of reach. Because pain is often invisible and subjective, people in our lives (including healthcare providers!) may not understand what we’re going through. Our lives can start to feel very restrictive and small as the activities we used to enjoy or did easily are increasingly difficult. Much of our focus goes to seeking treatments and strategies to get rid of the pain yet relief tends to be temporary and it's hard to imagine any other option.

Social Isolation
JP Robichaud
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Social Isolation experiences are more common now than they've ever been. The Pandemic has resulted in a significant amount of (in many ways) non-consensual social isolation. For some people, the distance from friends and family has resulted in a great deal of unhappiness, uncertainty, and depression. For others, who experienced social isolation even before the pandemic, finding a way to connection has always been challenging. We can talk about why that is, how it affects you, and what choices you might have to move through these experiences.

Social Isolation
Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
A felt sense of belonging and of feeling connected to others is a key component of overall psycho-emotional well-being and health. We will work together to understand areas of loneliness, difficulties being alone with oneself (while still feeling connected to others) and factors that contribute to a sense of feeling disconnected from individual and community relationships and supports.
