Dissociation
Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Dissociation is more common than many people realize—everyone experiences it to some degree. Everyday moments, like instinctively reaching for a phone in a waiting room to avoid boredom or briefly forgetting where you placed your keys after walking into the house, are mild forms of dissociation. These instances reflect a temporary shift in attention—a momentary disconnection from the present environment in favor of something more engaging or less stressful. Even consciously avoiding unpleasant thoughts or situations can be a subtle form of dissociation, and in these milder forms, it’s not inherently pathological.
However, dissociation can become disruptive when it deepens into a more profound detachment from one’s identity or reality. In these cases, individuals may find themselves acting in ways that feel foreign or out of character, losing chunks of time that others remember, or sensing that different parts of themselves are in conflict. Such experiences can lead to confusion, inner turmoil, and a fragmented sense of self, significantly impacting daily functioning and emotional well-being.
Daniel, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II (CCTP-II), specializes in helping individuals who experience more severe forms of dissociation, including derealization and depersonalization. With deep expertise and compassion, he supports clients in understanding their dissociative experiences and guides them toward greater self-awareness, integration, and emotional stability.
Daniel offers both brief screening for dissociation and comprehensive, customized assessments that evaluate a wide range of personality difficulties, trauma, and commonly co-occurring concerns. He welcomes inquiries regarding this and other psychological testing services he provides.

Living with dissociation can feel confusing, fragmented, and isolating. Our trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential approach helps you reconnect with your body, emotions, and sense of self. Using Attachment-Focused Therapy, AEDP, and IFS, we work together to understand the origins of dissociation, process past trauma, and develop tools for grounding, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. Sessions provide a safe, supportive space to explore identity, heal attachment wounds, and build stability and integration. We offer in-person therapy in Toronto and virtual sessions across Ontario so you can access care wherever you are.

Dissociation
Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Dissociation can be a way the mind copes with overwhelming trauma, including experiences like childhood abuse, domestic violence, or other forms of severe stress. You might notice feeling disconnected from your thoughts, emotions, or even your body, sometimes experiencing memory gaps, “zoning out,” or feeling like an observer in your own life.
In therapy, I provide a safe and grounding space to explore these experiences, understand the connection between trauma and dissociation, and develop strategies to feel more present, integrated, and in control. The goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and reclaim a sense of safety, stability, and self-trust.

Dissociation
Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Dissociation is a behaviour that is automatic and can be incredibly frustrating; one can feel betrayed by their own body, frustrated by the behaviour occurring, and confused as to what triggers it or why it happens in the first place. When I work with clients with dissociation issues, it is imperative to understand why the brain would cause us to dissociate, and how we can retrain the brain to eliminate this very problematic behaviour altogether.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Dissociation is often the nervous system’s way of keeping you functioning when things feel too much. Therapy focuses on safety, stabilization, and gentle integration—helping you feel more present without forcing memories or pushing too fast. We’ll build grounding skills, strengthen internal trust, and reduce the fear of your own experience.

Ariana N. Zeppieri-Makhan
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Through my work with trauma survivors, I have come to work with the dissociative disorders. With a constant eye to safety and grounding, I have guided clients through reflective and experiential exercises to explore their understanding of their experiences and ways in which they may cope or overcome their perceptual challenges.
Since my undergraduate degree, I have been motivated to work with individuals experiencing dissociative disorders. I read a number of first-person accounts, as well as articles, and watched countless interviews with afflicted individuals, expert professionals, and close others in the early days of this pursuit. I continue to read what I can and gain insight from those afflicted, where possible.

Dissociation
Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Often an adaptive response to traumatic experiences, we might unconsciously dissociate in order to cope with the overwhelming impacts. My trauma-informed approach to working with dissociative states involves a phased approach toward healing that seeks to sensitively and safely reconnect us to our bodies, foster reintegration between the mind and body and restore a sense of agency, resiliency and emotional strength.

Dissociation can be a coping mechanism for trauma, but it can also lead to disconnection from emotions, memories, and identity.

Corey Lesperance
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying); RP(Q)
Some clients seek help in living with diagnoses or symptoms of dissociative disorders, that distract them from their life and can be disorienting or even frightening. I help them develop tools to first process this fear and apprehension, and then explore what causes this to happen, and how we can work on increasing their control, or reducing their anxiety.

Dissociation
Hiba Khatkhat @ Under The Oaks Self Care Center
Registered Psychotherapist, MA CMHC, RP
Dissociation is the mind's great ability to protect you and help you get through extreme overwhelm and hardship. We all have the ability to do it. It's on a continuum. When it's not seen as a disorder, it shows up as numbing or being on auto-pilot (like when you forget to take your exit driving and you say "my mind was somewhere else"). When it's a disorder, it can have tremendous impacts on many areas in your life. Focusing on integration and stabilization becomes key. We combine trauma informed care with the structural dissociation theory of personality, along with practices informed by internal family systems to deliver a tailored approach, in addition to trauma therapy that targets the root causes.
