I am a clinical psychologist and researcher whose research focuses on ensuring complementary and integrative health interventions (e.g., non-pharmacologic mind-body interventions such as mindfulness) are available for Veterans with co-occurring mental and physical health conditions. I also study existential self-regulation (e.g., meaning in life) and how to better incorporate existential perspectives into healthcare systems.
My work is based on the idea that we are human, first and foremost. Veterans, no matter what diagnoses they may have, deserve care that aims to ensure they reach their potential in every aspect of their lives.
I hope that my work leads to better access to mind-body interventions for Veterans, continued improvement in Veteran care, and a greater acknowledgement that existential concerns should be a focus of psychological treatment among patients and clinicians.

Evaluating the Role of Virtual Whole Health in PC-MHI
The COVID-19 pandemic facilitated simultaneous paradigm shifts in healthcare delivery: virtual care (telehealth and videoconferencing) and the need for “Whole Person” healthcare that targets mind, body, and spirit, per recent US Surgeon General and National Academy of Medicine calls-to-action.
The pandemic also highlighted treatment delivery inequities involving rural Veterans.
The current proposal will address these trends, assessing virtual VA Whole Health care use in Primary Care-Mental Health Integration (PC-MHI) for rural and non-rural Veterans with chronic pain and co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health
The current proposal positions the candidate as a leading independent investigator focused on developing and evaluating systems-based approaches for effectively delivering complementary and integrative health (CIH) interventions (e.g., non-pharmacologic mind-body interventions such as mindfulness meditation) for common chronic conditions.
The proposal focuses on chronic pain and co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a population of patients who often seek treatment in primary care, where effective CIH interventions may not be available due to limited resources or patient access (e.g., community care in rural settings).
The current proposal utilizes user-centered design strategies to incorporate CIH interventions into proven stepped-care approaches designed for primary care settings and then pragmatically tests the novel approach.

Award & Honors
Society of Behavioral Medicine: 2023 Integrative Health and Spirituality Award
David was named the Outstanding Trainee for 2023. The Integrative Health and Spirituality SIG (IHS SIG) focuses on spiritual and integrative health approaches as they relate to behavioral medicine. They are a multidisciplinary group dedicated to promoting the understanding of several domains that are not generally considered part of conventional Western medicine, including: mind and body practices; religious and/or spiritual practices; natural products; and nutritional approaches. The IHS SIG seeks to encourage and support well-designed empirical research to contribute to our understanding of the efficacy of these approaches as well as which biopsychosocial processes underlie specific spiritual and/or complementary and integrative health practices.
K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health
David Reed, a clinical psychologist and postdoctoral fellow with the VA Puget Sound Seattle-Denver COIN, was recently awarded a K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. The coveted career development award seeks to help outstanding postdoctoral researchers transition from mentored to independent research positions and is composed of two phases: a mentored phase (K99) lasting 1-2 years and an independent phase (R00) lasting up to 3 years. Dr. Reed’s K99/R00 proposal aims to develop a complementary and integrative health (CIH)-based stepped care approach for treating patients with co-occurring chronic pain and PTSD, and to then test it in a pragmatic clinical trial. This proposal aligns well with one of Dr. Reed’s research interests, namely the development and evaluation of CIH interventions which impact the mind-body connection and seek to improve both physical and emotional wellbeing. His prior work has demonstrated that Veterans with co-occurring chronic pain and PTSD were more likely to engage in CIH therapies than Veterans with chronic pain only. With this award, Dr. Reed hopes to build upon these findings and improve health and well-being outcomes for this group of Veterans.
Dr. Reed’s research efforts have also recently been recognized by the Society of Behavioral Medicine, as the Integrative Health and Spirituality Special Interest Group (SIG) awarded him their 2023 Postdoctoral Trainee Award. The Integrative Health and Spirituality SIG is a multidisciplinary group which focuses on spiritual and integrative health approaches as they relate to behavioral medicine. Dr. Reed’s interest in investigating self-regulatory mechanisms of the mind-body connection, his scholarly accomplishments and contributions, and his work to promote equitable hiring practices for attracting a diverse workforce all played roles in his selection for this award.
Beyond his research activities, Dr. Reed also maintains a clinical presence as a study therapist for a clinical trial focused on examining moderators of hypnosis and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for chronic pain. When he’s not working, you may find him out for a run or cheering for the South Carolina Gamecocks.
