Emily Davison BA (hons), MSW, RSW

I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree with honours in Psychology and Sexuality Studies in 2019 and a Master of Social Work degree in 2023 from Carleton University. I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSSSW) as well as a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers. I continue to evolve my practice through regular supervision and professional consultation as well as attending trainings focussing on various therapeutic modalities. 

I have certifications in Safe Talk, Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training, and Motivational Interviewing. I also have extensive training in Grief Counselling through Laurier University’s Social Work Professional Development Program.  

Over the past ten years, I have worked with individuals and groups across the lifespan, ranging from children to older adults, in various non-profit, social service, and healthcare settings. 

In my practice, Whole Sum Wellness, I support individuals aged 7+ with mental health issues, anxiety, life transitions, grief/bereavement, stress/burnout, and trauma. I also work with people who are experiencing challenges related to gender identity, sexual orientation, and relationships. Understanding mental health from a (w)holistic perspective, I recognize physical, psychological, social, structural, and spiritual factors impact wellbeing. Using a trauma-informed and collaborative approach, I will work with you to explore your values, priorities, and strengths to figure out how we can integrate them into your healing journey. I incorporate evidence-based treatments, mainly deriving from narrative, ego state/parts work, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), emotionally focussed, Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), and acceptance and commitment therapies. That said, I am open to your feedback, and we can adjust our approach to our therapeutic work as needed. 

I look forward to connecting with you!
