David Grand, MSW, RSW, PhD(c)
Hi, my name is David. I’m a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist practicing in London, Ontario. I have over a decade of experience facilitating support in hospital and community-based mental health settings. I draw upon an eclectic integration of evidence-based therapeutic interventions along with my own lived experiences to help individuals heal from the impacts of trauma, anxiety, and depression. My work with clients is collaborative and non-pathologizing, focusing on supporting the psychological growth of individuals and couples throughout the therapeutic process.
I completed an Honors undergraduate degree at Western University in Biology and Psychology, and a Master of Social Work (MSW) at Wilfrid Laurier University where I currently teach part-time within the undergraduate and graduate programs at the Faculty of Social Work. I am also in my final year of PhD studies, writing a dissertation on the relationship between trauma, loss, and poverty.
My work is inclusive, queer-friendly, and honours the diverse experiences that every client brings with them into therapy. I intend for my work to facilitate healing in ways that are client-centred and accepting of the diverse worldviews that we each hold.
