Newark YouTuber makes mental health trendy, connecting it with pop culture, true crime

Date

A video about a conspiracy theory is Todd Grande’s most popular to date on his YouTube channel.

The video, “David Icke Coronavirus Conspiracy Theory | The Danger of COVID Misinformation,” has 1.3 million views.

Dr. Grande, a Newark man, is a licensed professional counselor of mental health and a licensed chemical dependency counselor. He has been making YouTube videos for nearly a decade. But it’s been only since 2019 that he’s framed his videos around topics like pop culture, politics and true crime, viewed from his perspective as a mental health professional. 

This niche has helped him boost his channel (“Dr. Todd Grande”) to more than 700,000 subscribers as of this month.

Dr. Todd Grande, 49, of Newark, is the star of the "Dr. Todd Grande" show on YouTube, which has over 700,000 subscribers on YouTube.

“It’s been a wild ride,” Grande said to Delaware Online/The News Journal. “It can definitely take some time to build up kind of an influencer …  social media type of business like that. And [there’s] a lot of mistakes and retooling.”

In May 2020, Grande quit his associate professor job at Wilmington University and began making YouTube videos full-time. YouTube is now Grande’s primary source of income, he said.
