Today we’d like to introduce you to Cindy Finch
Hi Cindy, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Life didn’t exactly hand me an easy script, but I think that’s the point. I’m a therapist, an author, and a young adult cancer survivor. I’m also a mother, a wife, and someone who’s been through a divorce, bankruptcy, and even foreclosure. I’ve been on welfare and fought to rebuild my life brick by brick. These aren’t just badges of honor—they’re the things that cracked me wide open and let the light in. Each step of the way, I learned how to stand back up, and now I help others do the same.
It all started when I was battling cancer while pregnant and raising preschoolers. It was one of those moments where life comes at you fast, and you realize you have no choice but to dig deep. After I survived that chapter, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life being the support for others that I needed back then. I went back to school, became a therapist, and wrote a workbook to help people come back from the hard things life throws at us. My mission now is to help others rebuild after loss, illness, or devastation, and I know firsthand that it’s possible.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road has been anything but smooth. I’ve faced gut-wrenching losses, like the deaths of dear friends and family. There were times when I thought my body was betraying me—between cancer and long-term health issues like open heart surgery followed days later by open lung surgery (in my 30’s!)—and times when it felt like my heart might not recover from the blows of life. Financial strain led to welfare, starting over, and then slowly rebuilding. Throw in relationship struggles, and let’s just say it’s been a wild ride.
But here’s the thing: every hard moment taught me something. I became more resilient, more determined, and—dare I say it—more hopeful. Even when I felt like I couldn’t catch a break, I realized that life was chiseling me into something stronger. Those struggles gave me a deep empathy for others going through their own crises. And that’s where I am today—using my story to help others pick up the pieces and make their own comebacks.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At Cindy Finch Therapy, my focus is on helping individuals and couples heal, grow, and reclaim their lives. I specialize in working with people facing tough life events—whether it’s grief, trauma, or relationship struggles—by providing a safe, compassionate space where healing can happen. My approach combines years of experience with a deep commitment to my clients’ growth, guiding them through life’s challenges with tools that promote resilience, transformation, and lasting peace. Together, we’ll work toward creating a life worth living.
At Finch Consulting, my husband Darin and I work with families and couples to foster deeper connections and resolve long-standing challenges. Our approach blends therapy and coaching, combining my expertise in trauma and post-crisis growth with Darin’s PIVOT method for building stronger, healthier relationships. Together, we guide clients toward more authentic, fulfilling lives—whether it’s navigating family dynamics, relationship recovery, or personal growth. We believe that everyone deserves a thriving, connected life, and we’re here to help make that a reality.
Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that resilience isn’t about bouncing back—it’s about transformation. We don’t get to control what life throws at us, but we do get to choose what we do next. The crisis taught me to lean into the discomfort, to radically accept what I couldn’t change, and to get creative about how to rebuild. I learned that self-reliance doesn’t mean doing it all alone—it’s about knowing when to reach out and when to trust yourself to stand in your power.
Above all, I’ve come to understand that life isn’t happening to us; it’s happening for us. Every setback is a setup for something greater. My work now is about helping others realize that, too, and giving them the tools to rewrite their own stories. Because no matter what you’re facing, you can always make an epic comeback.
