Social Isolation
Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Isolation is often misunderstood as a choice, but for many people it’s a form of protection. When relationships have felt unsafe or draining, pulling back can feel like the best option. Over time, though, it leads to disconnection and the world you live in becomes smaller and smaller. In therapy, we focus on understanding what’s driving that pattern and helping you rebuild connection in a way that feels manageable instead of overwhelming.

Progressable

The session includes how to plan for new social encounters and connection. The therapy session/s is followed up by an deeply encouraging email with a customized meditation to be listened to for 21 days to embed the new core beliefs and replace looping thoughts.

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.

Social Isolation
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
When you’re outwardly successful but internally disconnected, isolation becomes a lonely companion—even in crowded rooms or surrounded by colleagues. Perhaps you’re adept at appearing socially engaged, but deep down you feel unseen or profoundly alone. Dr. Jenny Shields supports driven professionals to gently explore the roots of their isolation through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based techniques, and interpersonal therapy. With warmth and genuine understanding, she helps clients rebuild meaningful connections, move through barriers to intimacy, and regain a sense of authentic belonging—both personally and professionally.

Madison is home to the University of Wisconsin — one of the top research universities in the country — and serves as Wisconsin's state capital, giving it an unusually high concentration of academics, researchers, and government professionals who collectively represent one of the most therapy-positive demographics in the Midwest. The city's progressive political culture and high rate of higher education strongly correlate with high therapy utilization and acceptance across multiple demographics. UW Health and SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-developed private practice community serving Willy Street, Atwood, and the Near East Side. Madison's growing Latino and East African communities — particularly Hmong and Somali residents — are increasing demand for multilingual and culturally grounded therapists.
