Social isolation can be a good thing in moderation. However, when social isolation is prolonged and undesired, it can breed loneliness and have detrimental effects on your emotional and physical well-being. COVID-19 lockdowns and associated physical distancing guidelines have caused widespread social isolation and feelings of loneliness.

If you’re feeling chronic loneliness, seeing a therapist can help you manage these feelings and feel happier. Whether you are located in downtown Portage, the suburbs of Portage, other nearby places such as Elkhart, Kentwood, or anywhere else in Michigan, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.
