Michael A. Finch, M.D., PLLC
Hello, I have been a child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist for nearly 20 years. I graduated with an undergraduate degree in Biology from UNC-Chapel Hill before attending medical school at East Carolina University, then finished my residency training in Colorado at University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. I am board certified by the ABPN (American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology) in both Child/Adolescent and Adult psychiatry. I also trained for 2 years at the Denver Psychoanalytic Institute.
After training, I worked in private practice in Denver with children, adolescents and adults. Pursuing my interest in treating PTSD, I also provided care in multiple institutional settings for children and adolescents. These included juvenile justice/ youth correctional facilities, long term residential treatment settings and inpatient acute psychiatric services. I returned home to Western North Carolina in 2013 and have worked at Mission Hospital on the child and adolescent inpatient Copestone units before transitioning back into private practice.

Hometown: Asheville, North Carolina United States
Occupation: Psychiatrist
Interests: My approach to mental health care includes a strong psychodynamic understanding of the individual in the context of their family and community. I feel that helping a person see and understand their life story is a very helpful pathway to envisioning a better future. I also emphasize overall health and wellbeing, the importance of exercise, eating well and other venues such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga and massage.
