Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you have been told you have a personality disorder, or you recognize long-standing patterns that affect your relationships, emotions, and self-image, you may feel discouraged or misunderstood. You might notice recurring conflict, difficulty trusting others, intense emotional reactions, or rigid coping patterns that once protected you but now create strain.
At Selah Counselling, we approach personality disorders with respect and clinical care. These patterns often developed over time as adaptations to early experiences, attachment wounds, or chronic stress. They are not a reflection of your worth. Together, we work to increase self-awareness, strengthen emotional regulation, build healthier relational skills, and gently challenge patterns that no longer serve you. Change takes time and consistency, but growth is possible within a safe therapeutic relationship where you are seen with both honesty and compassion.

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.
