Social Isolation
Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Humans are social animals. We are not the fastest animals nor the strongest, but one of our greatest strengths is that we are able work together and coordinate. People tend to be more emotionally healthy when they are connected to others. When cut off from social support people tend to not do as well in many areas of functioning. A variety of factors can result in isolation, including situational factors, as well as personal factors. Not everyone has the same social needs. Some people like to have one or two people very close to them, and others like to have a broad and active social life. As a clinician, taking into account people's relationships and social supports is a very important dimension in understanding what may be holding them back from thriving. Then understanding what is interfering with them having the relationships that would serve them well to have becomes another important step in the therapeutic process, and then this understanding can be used to support the client in taking the steps necessary to overcome those barriers. Quite often I help clients with this through what is called Interpersonal Psychotherapy, which involves making room in the therapy for hearing about the clients social interactions and relationships and then helping my clients to consider more effective ways of responding to others. Other times I help my clients become involved in new activities and communities which will provide opportunities to form new relationships.

Social Isolation
Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we recognize that social isolation is often driven by underlying fears and emotional pain, such as fear of rejection, loss of control, or feelings of inadequacy. Our approach addresses these root causes through the Deconstructing Anxiety™ method, helping clients uncover the “chief defenses” that lead them to withdraw from others—such as avoidance, self-protection, or distrust. By encouraging clients to do the opposite of these defenses, we guide them toward gradually re-engaging with the world around them in a safe and supportive way. This transformative process enables individuals to break down barriers to connection, rebuild their social confidence, and create meaningful relationships. As clients overcome isolation, they experience a renewed sense of purpose and belonging, enriching both their personal lives and relationships.

Social Isolation
Jessica Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
You are not alone in feeling alone. We all have a deep need to be seen and accepted, but that can be hard to find, especially when we have relationship trauma and fears that are blocking that intimacy. Therapy can be a beautiful container for vulnerable, real shares that might not feel possible elsewhere (yet).

Social Isolation
Miriam Adrianowicz
Psychologist, PsyD
Today, especially post-pandemic, we are in a world where we feel more and more isolated. This is why I offer in-person psychotherapy as opposed to Telehealth sessions. The power of connection is incredibly healing. Ideally, a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, welcoming, and secure, is a way to initiate reconnecting with the world. We can explore reasons why you may feel isolated and behaviors that may be perpetuating it, and work together to help you regain a sense of belonging.
