David Lubert

With well over 25 years of experience, David is a seasoned clinician who has worked in multiple clinical settings with children and youth, and their caregivers. His passion has always been fostering strong families.

David offers individual, couple and family therapy, specializing in caregiver-led, therapist guided treatment which empowers caregivers so they can help their child manage and overcome anxiety, depression, loss, grief and trauma, as well as behaviour problems. Caregivers attend regular sessions without their children, allowing them to concentrate on parenting. Treatment combines caregiver and therapist knowledge to enhance their individual strengths, empowering them to support their children at home.

David also has expertise in treating children and youth with problematic sexual behaviour, and their families.

David initially trained in Montreal where he studied Psychology, before moving to Social Work. He has occupied diverse roles in community, child welfare, and schools before joining SickKids, where he has been an advocate for patients and their families, and counseling them through emotional crises, trauma, and loss for the last 10+ years.

David enjoys spending time with friends and family. He loves travelling and movies, especially Sci-Fi movies and “B-Rated” movies from the 70s. David enjoys reading books with magic, fantasy and history, and spending time with his amazing dog.
