PTSD/Trauma
Charlie Young
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC #22791
Trauma counselling here goes at the pace your nervous system can tolerate — trauma's effects are what your system learned to do for protection, and those mechanisms often linger long after the threat has passed, leaving people unable to rest even when nothing is wrong, or unsafe in their own body. I work with both single-event trauma and the kind that accumulates over a childhood, a relationship, or years of discrimination, and the pacing is the same either way: stability first, then slowly stepping into what feels safe at your own pace. Trauma lives in the body as much as in memory, so somatic work — attention to breath, tension, and what your nervous system is doing in the room — is part of how I work, and I check in constantly about pace so you never have to touch anything you don't want to. I'm a queer and trans RCC providing virtual therapy across BC, so if you've tried trauma therapy that pushed too hard too fast, or want to do this work with someone who understands the queer and trans context it happened in, that's what I offer — and I'll use your name and pronouns from our first contact. Sessions are 50 minutes by secure video and for trauma work I recommend starting weekly or every other week; during the free 15-minute consult we'll talk about what brings you to counselling and how I can help.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Trauma refers to any deeply distressing or disturbing experience that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope. These experiences can range from physical or sexual assault to natural disasters, serious accidents, or witnessing acts of violence. When trauma remains unresolved, it can lead to lasting psychological effects, including the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Complex PTSD (CPTSD).
PTSD typically emerges after a single traumatic incident and is characterized by symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, heightened anxiety, and intrusive thoughts. In contrast, CPTSD results from prolonged or repeated trauma—especially during times when escape or protection is not possible, such as in childhood or in abusive relationships. Those living with CPTSD often grapple with emotional dysregulation, persistent negative self-beliefs, and enduring difficulties in forming or maintaining relationships.
Dissociation—a state in which a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories, or even their sense of identity—is also a common response among trauma survivors. This protective mechanism can make individuals feel emotionally numb, detached from their surroundings, or as if they are observing their life from outside their body.
Daniel, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level 2 (CCTP-II), has advanced training in treating trauma, CPTSD, and dissociative symptoms. He works with clients to process and resolve trauma, address emotional wounds, and develop healthier, more adaptive coping strategies. His integrative approach may include therapy, medication, and other supportive interventions—empowering individuals to reclaim control, restore inner balance, and rebuild their lives with renewed strength and resilience.
Daniel offers both brief screening for trauma, PTSD and CPTSD and comprehensive, customized assessments. He welcomes inquiries regarding this and other psychological testing services he provides.
