Family Therapy in Newport Beach, CA

Hello! I’m Cindy Finch, LCSW. Are you struggling with relationship challenges, navigating a difficult family dynamic, or facing life transitions? I’m here to help you transform your life, build resilience, and find clarity. With training from the world-renowned Mayo Clinic and years of experience, I specialize in improving relationships, managing life transitions, and guiding you through parenting challenges with today’s teenagers and young adults. My approach is client-centered and empathetic, focusing on your unique needs and goals.

When you have tried to resolve issues on your own, and things just aren't changing, it is time to seek professional help. Perhaps your or your significant other's past and unresolved issues are what is creating the distress; an inability to trust, to feel joy and happiness, to pursue dreams. It is important to seek help early on so that things do not worsen. Whether you are seeking marriage counseling, individual therapy, or therapy for your teen, I can help you get on track to a healthier more fulfilling life.

Oftentimes people face issues which feel so overwhelming and whose consequences seem so far-reaching that the individual may not be able to access the internal strength to solve the problem on their own. In a sense, they may become trapped in what is known and familiar. A person may come to the conclusion that they are worthless, or that there is no hope, or become mired in a feeling of uselessness. These thoughts may come from familial, social or cultural experiences and can cause people to live a life where they feel out of place or unable to achieve to their fullest potential.

I believe that healing becomes possible when individuals are truly seen, heard, and supported. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and work with individuals, couples, and families who are looking for relief and solutions. I value creating trust and comfort early in the therapy relationship and work collaboratively with my clients to open new avenues and perspectives.

Are you waking up every day and realizing that your life is not where you want it to be? Are you feeling stuck in certain areas of your life and not able to find a solution? I am able to help you by providing you a safe environment where you can express yourself without feeling judged or criticized.  I have been helping people find peace, calm, and hope in their lives. 

You’re nervous, worried and feel like you’re living in the past. It feels like it is haunting you. Relationships feel scary because of how you’ve been hurt or let down by people in your life. You know you are ready for the next chapter but you just aren’t sure how to get there or move on. Feelings of overwhelm, being “stuck” and anxiety are feelings that you have come to know too well. You remember a time when you didn’t feel this way, but that was before “that” happened. While it is hard to imagine now, I want you to know there is a reality where you can move on from past hurt and thrive.

Well-being may seem like a fantasy. The reality is everyone experiences struggles and pain that feel insurmountable. Well-being and peace may feel far away. Therapy isn't a magic wand, but it offers a path towards well-being, a way we can unravel where we're stuck and identify blind spots hindering us. As an individual, within a relationship, or amidst a family, we can become very tangled in our thoughts and circumstances. Sometimes it becomes hard to see that we have options and new possibilities. My goal is to support each client to reach this well-being.
