Social Isolation
Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults overcome social isolation and build meaningful, fulfilling connections with others. Feelings of loneliness and disconnection can arise from anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, chronic health conditions, or past experiences of rejection and loss. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), interpersonal strategies, and mindfulness-based techniques, I help clients increase confidence in social situations, strengthen communication skills, address barriers to connection, and develop supportive relationships. My goal is to help clients cultivate a greater sense of belonging, improve emotional well-being, and create a more connected and satisfying life.

Isolation often reflects deeper experiences of disconnection, burnout, or emotional overwhelm. We work to understand what led to withdrawal and help clients rebuild meaningful, safe relationships at a sustainable pace. Healing begins with connection.

Social Isolation
Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Isolation was a concern even before the pandemic - some of it blamed on social media and living online, which became the norm for many people over the past year. And yet isolation existed before this, sometimes because of self esteem and lack of confidence or difficulty with connecting with other people for different reasons.

Social Isolation
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who feel socially isolated or disconnected, even though they want closer relationships. Many of the people I see are thoughtful, highly self‑aware, and sometimes feel out of sync with typical social norms. From the outside, it can look like you are doing fine; inside, you may feel alone, peripheral, or hard to really know. You may enjoy connection once it is happening, but getting there can feel complicated, effortful, or uncertain.
Social isolation can look like drifting away from friends without meaning to; keeping conversations on the surface because a deeper connection feels risky or confusing; or feeling invisible or on the edges in social settings. It can also look like wanting closeness but not knowing how to move toward it, feeling disconnected from your own needs or preferences, or carrying a sense that other people have an ease with relationships that you somehow missed. You may often feel judged, misread, or like people do not really understand you, which can make it even harder to risk reaching out.
I work extensively with adults navigating this kind of disconnection and know how heavy it can feel when most of your life is lived on your own. For many people, there can also be a long history of masking, camouflaging, or adapting to others that leaves you unsure what you actually want. Over time, this can lead to loneliness, self‑doubt, or a sense of being on the outside of your own life.
In our work together, we look closely at how these patterns developed and what they have been protecting you from. We make room for the part of you that has learned to be fiercely self‑sufficient, to rely on yourself because that has felt safest. From there, we explore small, meaningful steps toward connection that feel authentic and sustainable for you, with relationships where you can feel met and genuinely seen. You don’t have to manage this alone. This kind of work is central to my practice, and I approach it with a great deal of care.
