Transforming Emotions

David McNeill,

MSW, RSW (he/him)

Registered Social Worker

(Please note that I am unable to provide services to current Toronto Metropolitan University students due to my affiliation with the university.)

I am a Registered Social Worker with and have been providing individual Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to young adults and adults since 2017, both at Toronto Metropolitan University and in private practice. My goal is to help you access, accept, express, regulate, understand, and transform how you feel. Together, we will help you shift from being held back by stuck painful emotions to being guided by healthy emotions that help you better understand what you need in daily life.

I recognize the importance of long-term therapy where safe and careful exploration of painful experiences can take place. I believe the ultimate goal of helpful and responsible therapy is to help you feel independent, confident, and capable in your life. My practice is predominantly grounded in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and also incorporates Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and other experiential and relational psychotherapies.

In addition to providing psychotherapy, I supervise therapists in training, aiming to empower supervisees to feel both competent and confident in their work with clients, while also normalizing the continuous process of learning and growth that is inherent to being a therapist.

I have completed EFT for Individuals Level 1 and 2 certified training, and have participated in group supervision with Dr. Leslie Greenberg. At Transforming Emotions, I have been facilitating clinician training in Emotion Focused Therapy since 2021.
