Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Daniel, a 59-year-old ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) with combined-type ADHD, brings a lifetime of firsthand experience and professional insight into developmental disorders, including ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and personality disorders, many of which intersect with trauma—a connection he understands deeply from his own family history. ADHD has presented him with a complex mix of advantages and challenges that have shaped his character and career.
As a child, Daniel faced severe hyperactivity, chronic inattentiveness, and developmental delays that made his maturity level noticeably behind his peers. These challenges impacted his academic and social life significantly. He spent many of his school years in the “Learning Resource Room” with other students who struggled academically, a placement that reminded him daily of his differences. Socially, he found it difficult to keep up with the expectations of his age group, often feeling out of sync with those around him. Yet, growing up on a farm provided him with unique opportunities that helped him manage his ADHD’s more difficult symptoms. With the freedom to explore vast open spaces, he was able to expend his energy in healthy, constructive ways, and he developed a variety of creative outlets, which allowed him to express himself and channel his high energy.
Despite these outlets, his academic journey was far from easy. He grappled with setbacks and failures, struggling to maintain focus in conventional learning environments. But amidst the difficulties, Daniel exhibited remarkable creativity, frequently approaching problems from unique perspectives that others overlooked. He also demonstrated an unusual capacity for attention to detail, albeit intermittently, which revealed itself in moments when he was deeply engaged with a topic. Additionally, his emotional intuition grew as he navigated the social challenges of ADHD, making him attuned to the feelings and needs of others—a quality that would later become central to his work.
As he matured, Daniel found ways to blend his natural abilities with discipline and perseverance, eventually transforming his academic record. He not only completed his master’s degree but did so with nearly a perfect GPA, an accomplishment that underscored his intellectual capabilities and resilience. This academic success marked a turning point, allowing him to merge his creativity, attention to detail, and empathy into a thriving career.
Now, as a clinician, Daniel continues to face the challenges of living with ADHD, a condition that remains part of his daily life. Yet he has learned to harness its strengths, such as quick thinking, creativity, and empathy, which have become integral to his character. His personal and professional experiences have fostered a deep understanding of the complexities of developmental and personality disorders, equipping him to help others with similar struggles. In many ways, Daniel has transformed the mixed blessings of ADHD into a source of strength, enabling him to become a person of profound capability, insight, and resilience.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
From a trauma-informed perspective ADHD is understood as an inability to quiet all of the noise internally and externally which creates difficulty in directing focus, starting, switching, and completing tasks, and organizing information in clear ways. ADHD is not a maladaptive brain, it is a response to trauma that has changed the way the brain and nervous system receive information. The work we can do will be to help you better understand your ADHD, learn how to work with your brain and body in ways that are more functional for your ADHD, and resolve the root of what is driving the executive dysfunction in the first place.
