Social Isolation
Shana Burns, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist
We understand that when feeling disconnected and socially isolated, it can seem an insurmountable hurdle to overcome. Whether you’re struggling to connect with others, feeling lonely despite being around people, or unsure how to start building more meaningful relationships, we are here to compassionately support you in exploring the underlying factors contributing, build self-confidence, and develop the skills for stronger, more fulfilling connections. Together, we’ll identify patterns or barriers that might be keeping you isolated and work on ways to gently reintroduce connection into your life in a way that feels safe and supportive.
Our goal is to help you not only manage feelings of loneliness but also to create a foundation for deeper relationships and a renewed sense of belonging. With the right guidance and tools, it’s possible to open up to new connections and experiences that enrich your life.
If you’re ready to start this journey, we’re here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Social Isolation
Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
When working with clients who experience social isolation, I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help them develop healthier social connections. Through CBT, we identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs that contribute to isolation. With ACT, we focus on accepting uncomfortable emotions while encouraging actions aligned with values, such as engaging in meaningful social activities. This combined approach helps clients build resilience, improve social skills, and create more fulfilling relationships.

Social Isolation
Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social isolation is a growing problem today. It’s been linked to more than just being alone, though—it can lead to serious health problems like depression and anxiety, in addition to the physical effects of not getting enough social interaction. But what exactly does it mean? Let’s talk about that!
Social alienation (a psychological state) and social exclusion (referring to a structural problem in society) can lead to loneliness, boredom, and even depression. Some people may experience all these emotions when they don’t have meaningful relationships in their lives; they suffer from an empty emotional life that doesn’t add up because it has no value, so it leads them down a path of unhappiness.
What is Social Isolation?
The feelings people get when they’re lonely are typically different than when they’re depressed or anxious – loneliness might be what happens when you feel like no one understands you or wants to be around you no matter how hard you try and change.
