Sam Dylan Finch

Sam Dylan Finch is a writer, content strategist, and daydreamer leveraging the power of digital media to inspire hope and challenge stigma.

Sam is a recognized and trusted voice within mental health media, having reached millions of readers worldwide after his first of many viral articles back in 2014.

Since then, his unique combination of lived experience and authenticity, alongside his journalistic expertise, has led to memorable, culture-shifting moments across the web.

His work has not only shifted attitudes around LGBTQ+ identity and neurodivergence, but has brought compassionate and necessary depth to many stigmatized conversations and communities.

As writer Jenni Berrett described him, “[Sam] is a ray of light. Not sunshine — Sam’s light is more complicated than that. It comes from somewhere else, somewhere that is delicate and ferocious and vulnerable and courageous all at once. We don’t have a word for it in English either. I think the closest we can get is transcendent.“

His career has spanned many roles, including work as a writer, editor, social media strategist, and content marketer for platforms like Alma, Healthline, Psych Central, Teen Vogue, Huffington Post, Inflow – ADHD, Oar Health, Bezzy Depression, and countless others.

Sam currently works on the content team at Alma. You can find his most recent writings for Alma here.
