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.

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.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Dissociation is often a protective response developed when experiences feel overwhelming or unsafe. Using an IFS and somatic approach, we’ll gently explore the parts of you that hold pain, fear, or protective responses while building greater connection, grounding, and safety within yourself. Therapy can support you in feeling more present, integrated, and connected to who you are.
