Social Isolation

Philip Starkman

Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW

In my practice, I extend a compassionate and understanding hand to those experiencing social isolation, creating a space where they can feel seen and heard. Through the integration of holistic strategies like Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I support clients in understanding the roots of their isolation and developing strategies to reconnect with the world around them. This tailored approach not only addresses the immediate feelings of loneliness but also empowers individuals to build meaningful relationships and enhance their social networks. Focusing on personal growth, self-awareness, and emotional resilience, we work together to overcome the barriers to social engagement, paving the way for a more connected and fulfilling life. My role is to guide you through this journey, providing the tools and support needed to break free from the cycle of social isolation and embrace a life rich with community and connection.

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.
