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!

Social isolation can lead to feelings of depression and anxiety, causing increased negative ruminations and avoidance of family and friends. Therapeutic interventions can work to identify negative patterns of behaviour and build positive thoughts to engage with others comfortably.

This pandemic had forced us to isolate for so long! No wonder we feel socially isolated! This pandemic has brought to light the weaknesses of our support systems, has created distances between people that seem unsurmountable. Through therapy I can help you share your feelings and help you nurture old and new relationships. I will help you find solutions to any barriers or difficulties - whether there are internal or external - that may be keeping you from having a satisfying social life.
