Social Isolation
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in the Arts
Social isolation often stems from social anxiety, and our fear can limit our lives in not being able to connect freely with others in a meaningful way. I can help you to explore your core issues that are holding you back from leading a happy and fulfilling life, so that you can feel more confident and self-assured in your social interactions.

Social Isolation
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Are you held back by social isolation? Everyday we battle with messages that tell us how we should be and lead to feelings of shame and self-doubt. This is my specialization as I find the worst part of social isolation is that it is often misinterpreted by the self and others as a lack of effort or care and can lead to low self-esteem and excessive shame. My style is direct and genuinely non-judgemental so you can explore your history and current situation to build the wisdom and courage to find a new path forward.

Social Isolation
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.
