David Walden, PhD (Hamilton College - Emeritus)Hello! I am an emeritus member of AUCCCD, having recently "retired" after 26 years in higher education. In higher ed, I worked in three very different contexts- mid-sized public, very large public, small private- in a variety of roles, and served as a consultant to institutions varying in size from 1,500-30,000. My work now is a small private practice focused on providing spaces for reflection, reconnection, and meaningful transformation. I bring over two decades of experience supporting individuals and systems to help create safe, soul-centered spaces where people can realign with themselves, their work, and one another. Whether in therapy or consultation, I strive to meet the complex things we navigate with clarity and heart.
