Social Isolation
Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
Social isolation can occur for a variety of reasons; with the pandemic an aspect of this has been forced on us; sometimes it happens after a difficult experience; one where he felt it affected our sense of self or identity. It can leave a indelible mark on us. It involves going out again, taking some risks; otherwise we don't give ourselves the opportunity for a new experience. Also see resources for Shame. Shame can be incapacitating if not addressed as it thrives on secrecy.

Social Isolation
Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
Many of my clients, to at least some degree, are feeling isolated and crave more connection in their lives. We’re nearly all impacted by cultures of disconnection, over-work, domination, and hyper-individualism. Our personal identities—how we're generally treated in society—and our past experiences in relationships may also be shaping that disconnect. Relational Therapy is especially well suited to explore how this is happening for you. What's missing in your current connections? What's getting in the way of intimacy and relationship-building?What's your unique way of connecting—how can we grow and appreciate that? How is your relationship with yourself developing?
In my approach, the therapeutic relationship is a core part of healing: the experience of someone being curious, compassionate, and accountable to you can, over time, shift the way you experience yourself and others. I'll be with you in the feelings of isolation—whether that's a painful, stuck, protected, infuriating, or hopeless space—while also holding all the possibilities for finding the connections you're craving and deserve.

Social Isolation
Jeremy Finkelstein, ADHD Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Overwhelm, anxiety, shame, or fear of judgment can make reaching out and maintaining relationships difficult. Over time, withdrawing may increase loneliness and disconnection. I help adults understand what makes connection challenging and take manageable steps toward relationships that feel supportive and authentic.

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.

Social Isolation
Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Social isolation is often about far more than simply “not being around people.”
It can be shaped by trauma, neurodivergence, chronic pain, burnout, anxiety, grief, depression, masking, rejection, or the exhausting feeling that connection has become difficult, unsafe, or not worth the energy it takes.
For many people, isolation is not just loneliness — it can also be protection, survival, overwhelm, or the result of feeling deeply misunderstood.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on understanding what may be beneath the isolation without shame.
Together, we work on rebuilding self-trust, exploring barriers to connection, strengthening emotional safety, and creating more realistic, meaningful ways of relating that actually fit who you are and what you need.

Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Feeling isolated can happen even when you are surrounded by people. You may feel disconnected, misunderstood, unsure how to reach out, or stuck in patterns of withdrawal. Therapy can help you explore what gets in the way of connection, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity concerns, or past relational pain, while supporting steps toward meaningful belonging.
