My approach to OCD therapy is to ground us firmly in why we're doing what we're doing. Gradual is the name of the game when it comes to mental health, and even more so with exposure work. We'll take the time to understand how OCD is affecting you and come up with salient and specific exposures that can be gradually approached and will make a difference in your life. My other prime area of focus is trauma, which can encompass depression and generalized anxiety.

Why our members love working with Matthew

Good experienceMatthew McKinley has been great so far in the month I’ve been seeing him and with working with me to really get to the root of my very specific OCD/panic disorder. He’s also great at listening to my troubles that are not things completely related to my OCD. I can already tell a small change in my behaviors and mindset and so have others. Appreciate you, Matthew!

Good experienceMatthew McKinley is amazing! I would give him 10 stars if I could. He is kind, supportive, empathetic, and genuinely cares about helping others become the best version of themselves. I have made tremendous progress in three years. In the beginning, I thought I would never have control over my OCD. It ran my life. But here I am, able to apply exposure and response prevention with the support of a truly wonderful therapist. For the first time in my life, I am in control. I recommend NOCD to anybody struggling. There is hope here!

Good experienceMathew is great! He helps set clear goals, work my way gradually up my hierarchy and stay accountable for homework (gentle, but firm). I like how he helps me navigate my spiritual journey, and that he brings his extensive study of Tibetan Buddhism to the table. He has been great about my gender and sexuality, and helps make me feel safe to do exposures around those topics. He is always on time, and helps me manage our time (I have ADHD lol). He does a good job making sure he understands me. I appreciate we have regularly set appointments, it makes it easy on me. I recommend meeting with him to see if he's a good fit for you, too!

Good experienceERP is challenging. No matter the provider. NOCD is worth considering if you’re in network with them or even out of pocket due to lack of OCD specialists. However, it is expense. Like any mental health service, unfortunately. One thing to keep in mind if you’re out of pocket is that if you go above $1500 in billing, they won’t let the therapist schedule new appointment no matter your financial situation. That’s was the big upside for me. Having progress stalled isn’t fun. Other than that NOCD is a great resource if you’re considering ERP treatment.

Good experienceMatthew conducted it very well, I felt good around him and I thought perhaps at the end we were a bit crunched for time to go through the assessments throughly, he did say we’d touch on it next time so that’s good. Overall, I liked Matthew a lot and look forward to working with him :)
C.S.
Good experienceI’ve only had three sessions, but I can’t imagine life without NOCD. I’m so glad I found help that works!

Good experienceMy therapist listened, validated my thoughts and feelings, and helped me feel confident in a plan for treatment.
