Together Let’s Break Through Stuck Cycles and Embrace New Possibilities.
Meet Your Therapist
Greetings, kind soul! I’m Cindy Lineberger, a Licensed Therapist, Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP), Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional (CMIP), and Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP). I’m passionate about helping women break free from overdoing and fear-based living, with a special focus on those navigating Lichen Sclerosus, menopause, and sexual health challenges.
Having lived through chronic illness and midlife transitions, I understand the profound impact these experiences can have on your work, relationships, and self-esteem. My approach combines professional expertise with personal insight, offering tailored support to help you reclaim your life.
What sets me apart is my own journey of turning struggle into strength. I was once a serial overdoer and people pleaser until a health crisis, divorce, and career upheaval forced me to wake up. I realized I had been abandoning myself in service of others who couldn’t match my investment. Living with chronic illness has taught me the importance of boundaries and self-care. Now, I help other professional women break free, too!
Does this sound familiar?
You’re a chronic illness warrior struggling with low libido, painful sex, or health anxiety.
Menopause is affecting your self-esteem, sexual satisfaction, and overall confidence.
You’re a fellow therapist or professional overwhelmed by overcommitting and work-life balance struggles.
You doubt your decisions when saying "yes" instead of "no," leaving you with guilt and shame.
Been diagnosed with chronic illness and know you need better balance but aren’t sure how.
You stay way longer than you know you should in jobs, relationships, and endeavors hoping things will finally change only to wake up with the reality they haven’t.
You’re struggling with guilt of “should” based living and are ready to break free.
I specialize in solving these challenges by helping you:
Prioritize yourself and offer the best version of yourself.
Confidently say "no" and create space for a resounding "yes" to what truly matters.
Find your authentic voice, clarify values, and live in alignment with your values and priorities.
Learn to feel safe in your body regardless of your medical condition so you can befriend your whole self again.
Additionally, I can assist you in:
Building healthy boundaries to protect your time and energy.
Developing effective communication skills to express your needs and desires.
Cultivating a positive mindset to overcome self-doubt and boost self-confidence.
Reclaiming intimacy and sexual pleasure when living with painful sex conditions, chronic illness, or menopause.
If you're tired of remaining stuck in the struggle cycle and ready to make a positive change, let's start a conversation! I like to say it’s not a problem until it’s a problem so is this a problem for you? When you find yourself saying, "Yes! I'm ready to invest in myself," please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here for you! Click here to get started today!
