Dissociation
Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Dissociation is more common than many people realize—everyone experiences it to some degree. Everyday moments, like instinctively reaching for a phone in a waiting room to avoid boredom or briefly forgetting where you placed your keys after walking into the house, are mild forms of dissociation. These instances reflect a temporary shift in attention—a momentary disconnection from the present environment in favor of something more engaging or less stressful. Even consciously avoiding unpleasant thoughts or situations can be a subtle form of dissociation, and in these milder forms, it’s not inherently pathological.
However, dissociation can become disruptive when it deepens into a more profound detachment from one’s identity or reality. In these cases, individuals may find themselves acting in ways that feel foreign or out of character, losing chunks of time that others remember, or sensing that different parts of themselves are in conflict. Such experiences can lead to confusion, inner turmoil, and a fragmented sense of self, significantly impacting daily functioning and emotional well-being.
Daniel, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II (CCTP-II), specializes in helping individuals who experience more severe forms of dissociation, including derealization and depersonalization. With deep expertise and compassion, he supports clients in understanding their dissociative experiences and guides them toward greater self-awareness, integration, and emotional stability.
Daniel offers both brief screening for dissociation and comprehensive, customized assessments that evaluate a wide range of personality difficulties, trauma, and commonly co-occurring concerns. He welcomes inquiries regarding this and other psychological testing services he provides.

Dissociation
Teo Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, CCC, RP (Qualifying)
Dissociative disorders can often arise as a coping mechanism when individuals experience overwhelming stress or trauma. When emotions or memories become too intense to process, the mind may "shut down" or "disconnect" as a way to protect itself. I specialize in helping individuals with dissociative disorders, utilizing techniques that help expand their window of tolerance—the range of emotional intensity a person can experience before feeling overwhelmed. By using EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness, I support clients in processing past trauma, increasing emotional regulation, and integrating fragmented aspects of the self, ultimately promoting healing and emotional stability.

Dissociation
Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
When life has been overwhelming, sometimes the mind protects you by disconnecting: from your feelings, your body, your memories, or the moment you're in. Dissociation can feel frightening and isolating, but it makes sense as a survival response, and it can change. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space where we move at your pace, build safety and grounding first, and gently work with the experiences underneath. The goal isn't just to manage the fog, it's to genuinely understand yourself, help the disconnected parts of your experience feel safe again, and come home to your own life. Together we'll work toward feeling more present, more whole, and more equipped to navigate your world.
