Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Farmington, MO covered by Cigna

If you keep finding yourself in the same arguments, the same shutdowns, or the same loop of feeling more reactive than you want to be, you are not broken. There is often a younger version of you driving the bus in those moments. I work with teens, adults, and women navigating relationship strain, family of origin patterns, anxiety, and grief, including the kind that does not involve a death. Clients describe me as warm, steady, and easy to talk to, and they often say I notice what they did not realize they were sharing.

Do you feel like you have to “keep going” and “ignore it”? Do you beat yourself up for every little mistake or feel like you’re living by rules you never wrote or agreed to? I can help.

My name is Mudar, and I am a nationally-certified licensed professional counselor. I am experienced in helping people with issues related to self-esteem, boundary-setting, career/life changes, anger, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I offer virtual sessions and use approaches tailored to your therapy goals, including EMDR, IFS, ACT, and DBT skills.

As a graduate of Missouri State University’s Counseling program, I am a person-centered counselor. I believe that all those who seek therapy have a desire to bring themselves back into balance. Although I see individuals of all ages, I specialize in children between the ages of 3 and 10 addressing their needs using child-centered play therapy.

I'm Oscar McKinley, a doctoral-level therapist with 13 years of experience helping people cut through the noise and get to what's actually going on. I'm a Black man licensed in Kansas and Missouri, and I work with a wide range of people — individuals, couples, families, and children from infancy through adulthood. I'm trained in evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma, PCIT for parent-child relationships, CBT, Gestalt, and family systems therapy. My style is direct without being rigid, and warm without being soft. I earned my EdD from Nova Southeastern University and my master's from Liberty University. I believe that good therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a performance.

I offer a relaxed non judgemental environment. I earned my Masters in Social Work at The University of Missouri- Kansas City campus. My clinical education and experience began in foster care, adoption and working with families. Then it branched out to Veteran care and a Dementia specialty. I have always enjoyed offering end of life care as it is sacred work. I have a lot of experience working with couples navigating various relationship problems. I believe it all comes down to having a caring, competent provider to walk along side you when you need one, regardless of the situation. If together we find that I can be that therapist for you...we will get busy helping you feel relief and gain confidence in whatever you are dealing with.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're managing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, physical health concerns, or trying to navigate a major life transition. You may feel stuck, emotionally exhausted, uncertain about the future, or disconnected from yourself and the life you want to create. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors facing anxiety, depression, women's issues, identity concerns, family stress, physical health challenges, grief and loss, panic symptoms, trauma, and major life changes. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking a supportive space where they can better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, and develop healthier ways of coping. Together, we'll explore what's weighing on you, identify strengths that may have been overlooked, and build practical tools that support healing, resilience, and meaningful personal growth. My goal is to help you feel more confident, empowered, and capable of navigating life's challenges while creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

My therapy space is warm, inviting, and open which mirrors what you will experience working with me. My approach comes from a curious and compassion space to effectively help make change happen. I am a clinically licensed marriage and family therapist. I have over 5 years experience working with individuals, couples, and families.
