Let’s make this the year you shine!

I'm Cindy Lineberger, a Licensed Therapist with certifications in Integrative Mental Health, Mindfulness, and Sex Therapy. I help women stop overworking themselves and living in fear, especially those dealing with Lichen Sclerosus, menopause, and sexual health issues.

Having faced chronic illness and midlife changes myself, I know how they affect work, relationships, and confidence. I use both my professional skills and personal experience to offer support that fits your needs and helps you regain joy and alignment in your life.

I’ve been where you are—overdoing and people-pleasing—until health problems, divorce, and career changes helped me realize I needed strong boundaries and self-care. Now, I help other professional women do the same.

Does this sound familiar?

  • 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.

What to expect.

  • During our first few sessions, we will spend time getting to know each other and discussing your reasons for seeking therapy. I'll ask questions about your current challenges, values, past experiences, and personal goals to help me understand your unique strengths, needs, and challenges and together we will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific priorities, needs, and goals.

  • In our therapy sessions, we will work together to identify patterns of behavior and thought that may be causing or contributing to your challenges. Expect both laughter and tears. I bring both humor and frankness with a big does of empathy. I will be fully invested in your success. We'll also explore your feelings and emotions in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. I'll use a variety of evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Integrative Practices for Mental Health to help you build skills and strategies to gain clarity, confidence, and more effectively cope with life’s challenges.

  • When you feel that you have made the progress you were seeking and are ready to end therapy, we will work together to develop a plan for maintaining your gains and continuing to work on your personal growth. I will also provide resources and support to help you continue to thrive beyond our therapy sessions. We will also discuss possible need for booster sessions to provide additional support while discontinuing routine weekly sessions. Depending on your priorities Coaching from our sister company Soulshine Coaching may be a natural next step once you have met your therapy goals.
