Your past does not have to be your future. Dissociation is a common response to trauma. While dissociation may seem alarming, it is possible to work through it with a knowledgeable therapist. I have experience and training in working with dissociation and I can help you understand and work through it. Please contact me if you would like to set up a free intake and we can get started on the process of helping you move forward with your future.

Dissociation
Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Do you lose time, feel disconnected from yourself, or struggle to remember parts of your life? Dissociation isn't a sign you're broken—it's how your mind protected you when pain was too overwhelming to face. Whether from childhood abuse, ongoing trauma, or adverse experiences your younger self couldn't process, these gaps and disconnections served a purpose. This work is deeply personal to me through both training and lived experience. Together, we'll help your nervous system feel safe enough to stay present, gently reconnect fragmented parts of yourself, and transform survival mechanisms into conscious choice. You'll learn to be here, fully, without fear.

Dissociation
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Dissociation as a protective, adaptive response to trauma rather than a conscious choice. When emotions are suppressed or invalidated, especially in childhood, the mind may disengage to maintain safety. I guide clients to reconnect with their bodies, explore their emotions, and be curious and compassionate to reintegrate the self.

Dissociation
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you experience dissociation, you may feel disconnected from your body, emotions, or surroundings. There may be moments where you feel numb, spaced out, or as though you are watching yourself from the outside. At times, you may experience memory gaps or feel that different parts of you hold different emotions or reactions. These experiences can feel confusing or frightening.
At Selah Counselling, we approach dissociative disorders with care, patience, and clinical expertise. Dissociation is often a protective response to overwhelming stress or trauma. Your mind learned how to survive. Our work focuses first on safety and stabilization. We help you strengthen grounding skills, build nervous system regulation, and gently increase awareness at a pace that feels manageable. Over time, we support integration, helping the different parts of your experience feel more connected and cohesive. The goal is not to remove protection abruptly, but to provide sufficient safety that you no longer need to disconnect to cope.
