Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Choosing social isolation is often a very intuitive protection mechanism that your system relies on when the external world feels too overwhelming or unsafe. I offer a slow, compassionate online relational space for clients across Vancouver, BC, and Canada where you can experiment with human connection at a pace that respects your boundaries. We won't push you into uncomfortable situations; instead, we will explore the roots of this withdrawal until your nervous system feels genuinely ready for community.

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.

Jennifer Ritchie Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CYW
*Welcoming new clients for immediate booking* What does feeling 'connected' mean to you? Together, let's explore how loneliness affects you and create a plan for getting you back on your path to connection today. Perhaps you're feeling isolated after moving countries or after a relationship breakdown, or you're no longer feeling close with your partner, family, or your friends. Perhaps you are part of a group, but never really feel 'part' of that group. Or maybe you are finding that your role as a new parent or caregiver is more isolating than you ever imagined. Social interaction is a part of life and it's human nature to crave companionship and connection. If you're feeling lonely and isolated or feel like you have no one to talk to, I am here for you. I can help.

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.

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!

Jeremy Finkelstein
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Social isolation can feel painful, discouraging, and hard to break out of, especially when avoidance, anxiety, low mood, or ADHD patterns get in the way of connection. I help clients understand what keeps them feeling disconnected and take small, realistic steps toward more meaningful relationships, community, and support.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
