Sarah Kaleem
Counsellor/Therapist, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist
Do you feel low and disconnected from others? Do you feel like it takes a great effort to see others or carry on a conversation? Does it feel easier to stay at home, although you know that this may not be healthy for you? Has the pandemic impacted your ability to be more comfortable in social situations? Perhaps, you feel like relationships are difficult in general to maintain. You don't always have to feel this way. I am here to help. I have worked extensively with individuals that struggle with social isolation. We will work together to get at the root of the cause and move forward towards change. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), both treatments that can be helpful to address isolation. In CBT, we may focus on how your emotions are connected to what you may be thinking and how this impacts your behaviours. Sometimes, we may get stuck in a cycle of isolation. CBT will help break that cycle and allow you to become more aware of how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are more important than you think. In IPT, we may consider your current relationships, communication styles, as well as relationship patterns to understand why you may be isolating yourself. Reach out for help so we can begin the journey for you to feel more connected.

Susanna Damiani di Vergada
Registered Social Worker
This pandemic had forced us to isolate for so long! No wonder we feel socially isolated! This pandemic has brought to light the weaknesses of our support systems, has created distances between people that seem unsurmountable. Through therapy I can help you share your feelings and help you nurture old and new relationships. I will help you find solutions to any barriers or difficulties - whether there are internal or external - that may be keeping you from having a satisfying social life.

Social isolation can lead to feelings of depression and anxiety, causing increased negative ruminations and avoidance of family and friends. Therapeutic interventions can work to identify negative patterns of behaviour and build positive thoughts to engage with others comfortably.
