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.

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Richards
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We live in an age of unprecedented connectivity, yet social isolation and loneliness are on the rise. Many people today are facing feelings of disconnection, difficulty forming relationships, or struggles with intimacy. Together, we’ll explore the emotional, relational, and behavioral patterns that contribute to isolation, including past experiences, self-perception, interpersonal dynamics, and the realities of the modern world. I’ll guide you towards increasing awareness of these patterns, while supporting the cultivation of meaningful connections and healthy boundaries. By combining reflective insight with practical strategies for social engagement, therapy provides a space to practice connection safely and intentionally. My goal is to help you feel more supported, engaged, and connected — both to yourself and to others — fostering a sense of belonging and emotional well-being. Feel free to reach out for a complementary 15-minute consultation if you think I might be the right therapist for you.
