Social Isolation
Lauren McCarley
Registered Psychotherapist, RP(Q), BSc, MA
Human beings are naturally social creatures, despite many people struggling to navigate social relationships and interactions with comfort and ease. Taking time to be alone can be an act of self-love, but too much alone time can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation. Finding the right balance between alone time and social engagement is key to maintaining emotional health and well-being. My goal is to empower you to lead a life that is filled with meaningful connections and a sense of belonging.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
Naturally humans are social creatures yet social relationships and interactions, for many people, can be a source of discomfort and pain. There's a huge difference between taking time to be alone and feeling isolated - when we chose to spend time alone we find joy and comfort in this. When we're isolated, we either feel we have no one to turn to, we might get the feeling that nobody cares about us, or going out or spending time around others might cause us great levels of stress, worry, or fear.
In a modern and post-pandemic world, social isolation is becoming more and more common. While it can be a side effect of the fast paced life style and shift to virtual work, social isolation is often a symptom of another mental health condition and an attempt to find relief from it. For example, people who have experienced a traumatic event might choose to self-isolate to protect themselves, or someone who is experiencing depression might self-isolate because they have lost joy in social interactions.
Our therapists can help you get to the root of what is causing the desire to isolate socially and can provide you with evidence-based support to heal and create a meaningful and fulfilling social life.

Social Isolation
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.
