About
Deborah Finch is a Family Therapist specializing in Acquired Brain Injury at Shepherd Center, where she brings a unique, multidisciplinary perspective to her work, combining clinical expertise with a strong background in business and global experience.
At the core of Deborah’s approach is a commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment where clients can explore their experiences without judgment, shame, or anxiety. She believes deeply that every individual deserves to be heard, supported, and empowered — especially during life’s most overwhelming moments.

Outside of her professional life, she enjoys hiking, watching cheesy Korean dramas, reading, gardening, volunteering at an animal shelter, and eating chocolate.
