A refuge for broken hearts and wounded parts

Heal relationship stress and come home to your authentic self

So many of us are struggling in our inter-personal relationships.

Share your story on the Ask Dr. Cindy Hotline.

Your call helps others know they aren’t alone.

Dr. Cindy, (adoptee, single mother, mindfulness teacher, somatic psychotherapist, leadership coach) offers relationship advice and somatic healing practices for surviving attachment wounds and recovering yourself from heartbreak.

Are you feeling like you’ve lost yourself?

Ask Dr. Cindy and start your journey home.

Submit your questions:

If you would like for your question or relationship challenge to be aired on a podcast episode, you can submit to Dr. Cindy by leaving a voicemail at (719) 759-9471. Your recording time will be limited to three minutes on this line, and you are welcome to use the entire time to share any relevant background or context that will help listeners connect to your story. Please remain anonymous, or use only a first name in this recording.

You are also welcome to submit questions or longer voice recordings via email to help@askdoctorcindy.com. I’ll make every effort to respond to every inquiry, either by email, in the blog, or during an episode. Please be patient, as it may take me a few weeks to get back to you.

Thank you so much for being willing to share your story and to ask for help. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to be able to reach out in times of distress, and your willingness to do this helps other survivors know they are not alone.

For now, please know that you are worthy of care and attention and that you deserve kindness and compassion.
