Personality Disorders
Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
If you've been told you have a personality disorder—or suspect you might—you've likely spent years feeling misunderstood, stigmatized, or blamed for patterns you don't know how to change. These aren't character flaws; they're trauma responses that became your survival blueprint. Once we've built trust, we'll explore how your early experiences shaped how you see yourself, others, and relationships. You'll receive deep understanding for the specific symptoms you struggle with—the emotional intensity, the relationship chaos, the identity confusion. Through compassionate modeling and support, you'll learn new patterns, regulate what feels uncontrollable, and discover that change is possible. You're not broken; you're surviving.

Personality Disorders
Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
A diagnosis of a personality disorder can sometimes bring clarity, but it can also leave people feeling reduced to a label or defined by their most difficult patterns. I take a non-pathologizing approach, viewing longstanding emotional and relational patterns as understandable adaptations that developed in response to particular experiences, needs, and environments. Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity rather than shame, including how they affect relationships, self-worth, trust, boundaries, and emotional regulation. The goal is not to erase parts of who you are, but to build greater awareness, flexibility, self-compassion, and choice in how you relate to yourself and others.
