Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse or violence, you may feel afraid, confused, ashamed, or unsure of what is normal anymore. Abuse can be physical, emotional, psychological, financial, or spiritual. It often erodes confidence and creates a cycle of fear and self-doubt that is difficult to break. You may question your own perceptions or feel responsible for keeping the peace.
At Selah Counselling, your safety and dignity are our priority. We provide a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and be believed. We help you understand patterns of abuse, rebuild clarity, and strengthen emotional and practical safety planning when needed. Our work focuses on restoring your sense of agency, helping regulate the nervous system after trauma, and rebuilding an identity that may have been diminished over time. Healing is possible, and you do not have to navigate it alone.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Domestic abuse and violence are tragically more common than many realize—and far more common than they should be. It often begins subtly, when one person in a close relationship becomes frustrated or emotionally unsettled, and begins to mistreat the other. At first, the behavior might seem minor—cutting remarks, dismissive tones, or small acts of disrespect. But when left unaddressed, these behaviors can intensify, growing more damaging over time.
Abuse tends to follow a disturbing pattern: pain and frustration in the more powerful individual are often displaced onto the less powerful, creating a cycle of harm marked by confusion, fear, anger, and diminishing well-being for everyone involved. If this cycle continues unchecked, it can escalate into serious physical and emotional abuse—and in the most extreme cases, even torture or death.
Daniel experienced this firsthand. As a youth, he was an innocent bystander in his own home, where unresolved anger and violence ultimately led to his hospitalization. From that experience, he came to understand the madness and tragedy of this cycle—how it is fueled by unprocessed emotional pain and the absence of healthy intervention.
Today, Daniel dedicates himself to helping others break free from the chaos. Through his work, he seeks to unravel the pain and confusion at the heart of abuse, foster understanding, and guide individuals and families toward healing, freedom, and the possibility of a safer, more compassionate future.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Experiencing domestic violence impacts both the mind and the body, often leaving trauma impacts, fear, tension, and hypervigilance. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy provide a safe way to engage body and mind, helping survivors process emotions, release stored stress, reclaim a sense of safety, and gradually restore empowerment and self-trust.
