Social Isolation
Julie Millman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Loneliness is a much more common experience than most realize. Statistics indicate three out of every 5 adults complain of loneliness. That is ALOT of loneliness! Here we are experiencing this phenomenon in our individual houses and cubicles at work. We find ourselves at home "doing social life" on our computers instead of in person. All of course amplified/aggravated since the pandemic. Lets develop some goals to reduce the loneliness in your life. Lets strategize the steps you may be willing to consider to change this experience!

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.

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 can be challenging and has gotten significantly worse since COVID. Sometimes with social isolation is social anxiety. Although it can feel overwhelming, it can be improved with a trained therapist.

Social Isolation
Raquel Molina
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social isolation can lead to depression, anxiety, accelerated cognitive decline, low self worth and irritability. I describe "Social Medicine" as a goal in therapy to increase social connections, which leads to a more content lifestyle. In therapy we can discuss ways to increase social interactions as well as improve mood.
