Meet Cynthia Finefrock
LPC Associate, Supervised by Martin Shaw, LPC-S, LMFT
Hi! :)
I am a neurodivergent and disabled clinician who has been working with a neurodiverse clientele since 2021, including people with autism, ADHD, OCD, physical disabilities, and various intellectual acuities. I love to help young adults explore their identity and live an empowering life of meaningfulness and self-worth. Existing in a world which is systemically not set up for neurodiverse and disabled individuals can be challenging, discouraging, exhausting, and downright traumatic; but you don't have to navigate this journey alone. There is hope, and you can find resilience and perseverance within yourself to be the change you want to see.
In addition to working as a therapist, I have assisted as a camp counselor at REACH Inc. in the past, so I have interacted with a variety of individuals, from those who have known they are autistic their whole life to those who are just now discovering their autism as adults. Having studied sociology and women's studies at a multiculturally-friendly university, I have grown to love listening to all perspectives, whether someone is coming from a different racial, ethnic, religious, or cultural background than my own. Because social equality is highly important to me, I strive to advocate for your mental health needs. A former missionary, I can even help you process existential and spiritual concerns, no matter your belief system.
So, if you are a late adolescent, young adult, or a full-grown adult, I would be honored to be your sounding board, providing you with a safe space to be yourself and meet your goals. Trauma, prejudice, discrimination, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, and existential crises make life feel hard to get through day by day. So know that your experiences, thoughts, feelings, desires, needs, and fears are all valid, and you deserve to feel understood through it all. If you want me to give you a guiding hand throughout this season of your life, please feel invited to reach out to me!

This is my primary career where I help adolescents and adults to explore their neurodivergence, process painful life experiences, equip themselves for new challenges, and reflect on their sense of worth and meaning in life. We meet remotely once per week and as needed. I assist with various needs from providing psychiatric referrals, to filling out disability leave forms, to collaborating on safety plans.
