Social Isolation
Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Social isolation can occur for a number of reasons with effects on people ranging from distressing to crippling. Following a thorough assessment, I apply one of several contemporary forms of psychodynamic or cognitive-behavior therapy to help people become more engaged with others.

Social Isolation
Norma J. Perez
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.

Social Isolation
Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Social isolation and loneliness can become significant concerns in adulthood. Demanding schedules, remote work, relocation, life transitions, changing relationships, or limited opportunities to meet people can make connection difficult to establish or maintain. You may also feel lonely even when other people are present if your relationships do not provide the understanding, belonging, or closeness you need. Though social connection involves vulnerability and can bring uncertainty, rejection, disappointment, misunderstanding, or conflict, it is still important and still worthwhile. While those risks can make withdrawing or avoiding connection feel safer, isolation comes at a real cost.
Therapy can help you understand the practical, emotional, and relational barriers to connection in your life; identify the kinds of relationships and community you want; and take manageable steps toward building new connections or strengthening existing ones. Our work may also involve developing greater comfort with vulnerability, navigating conflict and boundaries, and responding to setbacks without giving up on connection.

Social Isolation
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for social isolation and related concerns, including loneliness, disconnection, difficulty forming or maintaining relationships, withdrawal from social contact, and feeling emotionally distant from others. Social isolation can significantly impact mental health, contributing to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and a reduced sense of meaning, belonging, and connection.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to social isolation, helping clients understand the emotional, psychological, and relational factors that may be contributing to withdrawal or disconnection from others. For many individuals, social isolation is connected to past trauma, attachment wounds, rejection experiences, social anxiety, or long-standing beliefs about safety, trust, or self-worth in relationships.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process underlying emotional pain, reduce avoidance patterns, and rebuild the capacity for safe and meaningful connection with others. Therapy focuses on strengthening emotional resilience, improving self-awareness, and gently increasing comfort in relational and social environments.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to identify barriers to connection, explore past experiences that may have contributed to isolation, and develop practical, individualized steps toward rebuilding relationships and social engagement at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
Therapy is supportive, non-judgmental, and tailored to each client’s needs, with an emphasis on emotional safety, empowerment, and sustainable change. The goal is not forced social engagement, but helping clients reconnect with others in ways that feel authentic, manageable, and aligned with their personal comfort level.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond isolation, rebuild meaningful connections, and experience greater belonging, emotional well-being, and quality of life.
