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.

Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and a major retirement destination, giving it an older demographic profile than most Canadian cities — one that generates consistent demand for therapists working with aging, loss, caregiver stress, and the psychological dimensions of life transitions in later years. The city's government-worker culture, combined with the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, creates a well-educated population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Island Health provides public mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Oak Bay, Saanich, and the Inner Harbour area. Victoria's separation from Metro Vancouver by water means specialist therapist access can be limited in some areas, with telehealth filling an important gap for clients seeking a specific type of match.
