Dissociation
Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Dissociation can develop as a response to overwhelming stress or trauma and may involve feeling disconnected from thoughts, emotions, memories, identity, or surroundings. Therapy provides a safe, trauma-informed approach to help individuals build stability, increase self-awareness, strengthen grounding skills, and support healing from difficult experiences.

Dissociation
Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: Trauma-informed, grounding, and somatic approaches.
I prioritize emotional and physical safety before processing difficult experiences. Therapy may focus on grounding, present-moment awareness, understanding protective responses, and increasing internal awareness. More complex dissociative presentations may require specialized trauma treatment.

Dissociation
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Dissociation as a protective, adaptive response to trauma rather than a conscious choice. When emotions are suppressed or invalidated, especially in childhood, the mind may disengage to maintain safety. I guide clients to reconnect with their bodies, explore their emotions, and be curious and compassionate to reintegrate the self.

Dissociation
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.

Saskatoon is Saskatchewan's largest city and an emerging hub for agriculture technology, mining, and biotechnology — sectors that shape a therapy landscape distinct from more diversified Canadian metros. The city has a significant Indigenous population, with First Nations and Métis residents comprising a larger proportion of urban residents than in most Canadian cities outside Winnipeg, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care — including work on intergenerational trauma from residential schools — are an especially important part of the local mental health landscape. Saskatchewan Health Authority provides public mental health services, while the University of Saskatchewan's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local community. Saskatoon's cold winters and geographic isolation contribute to seasonal mood challenges that therapists here address as a recurring clinical priority.
