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.

Kate Hollowell Sheldon
Psychologist, MC, R.Psych.
I work with survivors of narcissistic and emotional abuse caused by a parent or partner who is diagnosed with a personality disorder. I have advanced training in assessment and treatment of personality disorders. I like to work with family members or friends of a person who has a personality disorder as well. This type of concern utilizes DBT, CBT, sometimes trauma focused therapy.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
If you've been told you have a personality disorder—or suspect you might—you've likely spent years feeling misunderstood, stigmatized, or blamed for patterns you don't know how to change. These aren't character flaws; they're trauma responses that became your survival blueprint. Once we've built trust, we'll explore how your early experiences shaped how you see yourself, others, and relationships. You'll receive deep understanding for the specific symptoms you struggle with—the emotional intensity, the relationship chaos, the identity confusion. Through compassionate modeling and support, you'll learn new patterns, regulate what feels uncontrollable, and discover that change is possible. You're not broken; you're surviving.
