Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Living with a personality disorder (PD) can be profoundly challenging and emotionally painful. Individuals with PDs often struggle with persistent difficulties in how they see themselves, interpret the world, and relate to others. These challenges can lead to unstable emotions, unpredictable behaviors, and deeply strained relationships. Feelings of emptiness, intense fear of abandonment, and a fragmented sense of identity are common and can make everyday life feel overwhelming.
The impact of a personality disorder often extends into many areas of life—causing interpersonal conflict, difficulty maintaining employment, and even challenges with stable housing. On top of these struggles, individuals with PDs frequently face stigma and misunderstanding, which can further deepen feelings of isolation, shame, and hopelessness.
Despite these hurdles, meaningful recovery is possible. With the right support—including evidence-based therapy, skill-building, and, in some cases, medication—individuals can learn to manage their symptoms and build a more stable, fulfilling life. Healing involves navigating conflict, clarifying personal identity and values, developing effective coping strategies, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating supportive relationships.
Daniel, a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider (C-PD), specializes in helping individuals with PDs reclaim their lives. His compassionate and structured approach empowers clients to move beyond survival and toward a deeper sense of self-awareness, connection, and emotional resilience.
Daniel offers both brief screening for personality disorders and comprehensive, customized assessments. He welcomes inquiries regarding this and other psychological testing services he provides.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
A diagnosis of a personality disorder can sometimes bring clarity, but it can also leave people feeling reduced to a label or defined by their most difficult patterns. I take a non-pathologizing approach, viewing longstanding emotional and relational patterns as understandable adaptations that developed in response to particular experiences, needs, and environments. Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity rather than shame, including how they affect relationships, self-worth, trust, boundaries, and emotional regulation. The goal is not to erase parts of who you are, but to build greater awareness, flexibility, self-compassion, and choice in how you relate to yourself and others.
