I’m Dr. Matthew Free, PhD, a licensed psychologist and the owner of the Columbus OCD and Anxiety Clinic. My clinical work has largely been devoted to the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based practices. I have extensive experience using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I am committed to approaches that are practical, skills-based, and grounded in current research.
Although I remain actively involved in supervising clinical work and guiding the direction of our practice, I'm not currently accepting new patients.
I have helped build a team of clinicians who share a deep commitment to high-quality, evidence-based treatment for OCD. Each clinician is thoroughly trained in ERP, CBT, and related modalities, and any member of our team would be happy to assist you in beginning treatment. If you are seeking care for OCD, we would be glad to help you find the right fit
