Trust. It’s the very foundation on which The Roots Of Loneliness Project is built. In fact, we feel that the LAST thing you should ever do is wonder if what you are reading is accurate or medically correct.
Whether you’re resonating with an article about feeling lonely after the loss of a loved one, or reading one of our studies or surveys on loneliness, our first priority — even before writing our first sentence — is ensuring medical correctness and accuracy.
Upholding this mission means that:
- All content is fact-checked, vetted and reviewed for medical accuracy by one or more members of our medical review team
- Information is sourced from trustworthy media and medical publications
- Medically peer-reviewed studies and research are utilized whenever possible
- Articles are updated on a frequent and regular basis as new, credible information becomes available
To help us ensure this vision, we also invite you to please contact us if you feel any of the information on our site is inaccurate or needs review. Finally, we’re always looking for passionate experts to join our team — just reach out to us via our contact page.

MEET OUR TEAM
Hello, my name is Christie Hartman.
I'm a psychologist, author, and coach who specializes in helping people have awesome relationships. I have an M.A. in clinical psychology and my Ph.D. – both from the University of Colorado – is in behavioral genetics, which is the study of the genetic underpinnings of behavior.
I've worked on research projects that examine developmental disability, ADHD, criminal behavior, and addiction.
In my post-science career, I've focused on relationships: how to find the right person, what makes a relationship work, and why they fail. I’ve also written 5 dating advice books on the subject.
Believe it or not, science can explain a certain amount of behavior regarding love, sex, and relationships, and I enjoy exploring those topics.

I have extensive experience and expertise in the education, healthcare, leadership, and business sectors. I enjoy all levels of creation and help companies medically review their content, ensuring accuracy.
My favorite fun time is writing and playing with my dogs. I am the author of the Rosy Posy Papillion children’s series and a foster mom for PapHavenRescue.org I live in California with my dogs and pasture pets, in their forever home.
