Let’s Get Your Relationships Back on Track
Cindy Finch, LCSW
California-Based Therapist, Author & Leadership Coach
I live my passion every day… to serve and help others overcome the struggles that are straining their life, relationships, and finances.
After completing my Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work and my training at Mayo Clinic, I went on to develop specialties in marriage and healthy family relationships, parenting today’s teens and young adults, post-trauma growth, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, complex-high-need-family interventions, traumatic loss, and grief work for sudden death, and the management of a life-altering illness, all for the benefit of my clients. I have worked with thousands of successful people, just like you. Let’s connect and make a plan for what’s ahead. You can reach me directly at 507-319-9348.

Guest interview on According to Jimmy
Cindy Finch on walking with God through illness*
From the depths of my own trials. This interview juxtaposes what it was like then, going through my own trying time dealing with illness and trying to hold onto anything to steady me as I went forward. *Contains emotional content.
When I’m not working
I am now enjoying the richest time of my life as I celebrate the hard fights I’ve won. I am happily married to Darin, and we are just about to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. I am also a proud mom to my three adult children, Jordan, Zach, and Brandon. : )
I love spending time with my family and being active with friends. I love taking our pups, Bella and Buddy, to Huntington Dog Beach, hiking all the great trails in Orange County, reading a good book, and trying new restaurants.
Love to read? Me too! These are some of my favorite books.
