      <image:title>About - David Grand, MSW, RSW, PhD(c)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hi, my name is David. I’m a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist practicing virtually across Ontario and living in Toronto. Over the past decade, I’ve worked as a frontline clinician facilitating support in intensive hospital and community-based mental health settings. I know firsthand how heavy the weight of trauma and stress can be, and my practice is built on a blend of evidence-based clinical strategy and real-world lived experience. My work with men is collaborative, practical, and depth-oriented. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, we work together to look at the bigger picture, understand the mechanics of your stress, and build lasting psychological resilience. My clinical foundation is deeply rooted in science and research. I completed my undergraduate degree in Biology and Psychology at Western University, followed by a Master of Social Work (MSW) at Wilfrid Laurier University—where I now teach part-time within the undergraduate and graduate programs. Currently, I am in the final months of my PhD studies, with a research specialization focused entirely on traumatic loss. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a high-integrity space that respects your unique worldview, strips away the pressure to perform, and helps you navigate your life on your own terms. Ready to get started? Healing begins when you decide to step out of survival mode. If you are ready to do the deeper work, I invite you to reach out. Let’s connect for a brief, confidential consultation to see how we can work together.</image:caption>
