Ms Cindy Blank-Edelman

Psychotherapist

“I help survivors of trauma and oppression accept themselves as they are and create the changes they want in themselves and the world.”

About Me

Navigating the impact of trauma or oppression can feel isolating. I provide a compassionate, collaborative space where you can explore your experiences without judgement. We work together to cultivate deep self-acceptance, helping you embrace exactly who you are. From this foundation, we identify practical steps to create the meaningful changes you envision for yourself. Our sessions unfold at your unique pace, building resilience for your world.

Approach

Accepting yourself and shaping meaningful change happens through steady, practical work matched to your pace and priorities. In-person sessions in Cambridge, conducted in English, feel anchored and unhurried—we use breath- and body-based noticing alongside talk to make sense of identity, relationships, and past hurts. Between sessions you may try short, doable experiments that test what feels possible and build confidence in everyday settings. This way of working often fits adults who want to heal trauma while tending to body image, faith, or queer and gendered experiences.
