Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Self-centeredness—even narcissistic behaviors—often show up in subtle ways throughout our inner and outer lives, even in individuals who do not meet the criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). These behaviors are frequently coping mechanisms, rooted in deep emotional wounds and an attempt to fill a persistent inner void. In cases of NPD, the drive for control, validation, or dominance is often a way to avoid confronting profound insecurity and vulnerability. When left unexamined, these patterns can create long-term difficulties, both for the individual and for those in their lives.
At its core, narcissistic behavior acts as a shield—guarding against the pain of unmet needs, past betrayals, or unresolved emotional trauma. Beneath the surface lies unspoken anger, shame, and a deep fear of not being enough. Therapy creates a safe space to peel back these layers and explore the emotional wounds that have been hidden for too long.
Daniel approaches clients with narcissistic traits not with judgment, but with compassion and insight. His goal is to help them confront the pain, denial, and unresolved emotions driving their behavior, and to gain true mastery—not over others, but over the internal chaos that fuels their defenses. Through this process, clients begin to release the armor of self-protection, develop healthier coping strategies, and reconnect with a more balanced and authentic sense of self.
This journey not only fosters personal growth and emotional resilience, but also opens the door to deeper empathy, more meaningful relationships, and a life guided by connection rather than control. In helping clients reclaim this path, Daniel supports both the healing of the individual and the restoration of peace in the lives they touch.
Daniel offers both brief screening for NPD 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.

Karen Davaz
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)
I support individuals who have been affected by narcissistic relationships, offering a safe and understanding space to work through challenges in personal relationships, family dynamics, and difficult life experiences.
Together, we focus on helping you understand how these experiences have impacted you, recognize your feelings, set healthy boundaries, and rebuild a strong sense of self.
My approach is supportive and non-clinical, centered on emotional care, practical coping tools, and helpful strategies. Please note that I do not diagnose or treat narcissism. If your needs fall outside my scope of practice, I will gently guide you toward the appropriate professional support.
