Michael McGaugh

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


I've spent my career helping people navigate life's challenges. I have been a therapist for over fourteen years. I've worked with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and age groups, and I genuinely enjoy my work. I know that life can be difficult, and there can be times when you feel alone, without anyone who understands you or the situation you are facing. That is why I became a therapist to help those who feel stuck and misunderstood. I will never make you feel like just a number. My approach is client-centered and solution-focused. I will work with you in helping you reach the goals that mean the most to you.

Oscar McKinley

Oscar McKinley

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


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.
