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.

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
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).
