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.

Surrey is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous and rapidly growing cities, with a large and diverse immigrant population — particularly from South Asia, the Philippines, and East Africa — creating strong demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists who understand the pressures of settlement, family expectations, and bicultural identity. The city faces significant challenges around substance use, gang-related trauma, and concentrated poverty in some neighborhoods, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery and community mental health serve an important role. Surrey Memorial Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, with a growing private therapy community reflecting the city's expanding population. Many Surrey residents access care through the wider Metro Vancouver ecosystem via transit and telehealth.
