Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, SFW, LPC
As much as we may think we don't want to be around anyone, we truly are social creatures. The more we give in to our desire to isolate the lower we may feel when the image comes to mind that others do not want to be near us. By isolating, we may be giving others the message that we are happy being alone, when in reality we may not know how to get out and live life to the fullest. We can figure it out together.

Psychologist, PhD
Wow, post COVID there is a lot of social isolation. Some of it may be fear of infection, but most of it is just because we lost our routine social activities and the friends we used to see all the time. I can help you figure out how to purposely find good matching friends who have similar values, are like-minded, and who enjoy doing the things you like to do. When anxiety sets in I can help you manage that so you can still live your best life. I have helped many people develop new social networks, whether because of relocation. change in life circumstance, or just because they outgrew their old social network. It's scary but so worth it when you find your tribe.

I view social isolation and the societal oppression resulting from capitalism as being closely intertwined. Capitalism causes burn-out, guilt, and exhaustion. It alienates us from ourselves, from one another, and from what makes us feel creative, productive, and respected. The COVID pandemic in particular has revealed the layers of oppression and isolation that we have difficulty addressing; we have forgotten how to reach out for help, how to provide care, and how to develop a network of people that we can turn to for support and love. I believe that people are essentially good and desire community, and that the pain that comes from social isolation can be overcome by relearning skills and identifying what we need to lead a richer life. Therapy is a wonderful space to practice those skills.
