DEPTH THERAPY FOR LASTING CHANGE
Depth‑oriented psychodynamic psychotherapy and consultation, offered in person and online. Work that goes beyond symptom relief.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
Welcome.
I’m Kenton Klassen, a Registered Clinical Counsellor and psychodynamic psychotherapist based in Vancouver, BC. I work with clients in a relational, exploratory, and non‑directive way.
People seek therapy for many reasons — persistent anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, the impact of trauma, or a sense of uncertainty about where they are headed. My practice offers a place to slow down and look closely at the emotional and unconscious patterns shaping your inner life.
My work is grounded in the understanding that we develop in relationship, are wounded in relationship, and heal in relationship. Psychodynamic psychotherapy provides a way of working beneath the surface, attending to the deeper layers that influence how we feel and relate.
Depth‑oriented therapy can be hard to find in a culture focused on quick solutions and standardized treatments. I offer a space where your story is taken seriously and where the work unfolds at a pace that supports lasting psychological change.
If you would like to explore whether this approach feels right for you, I offer a free 20‑minute consultation for clients seeking psychotherapy in Vancouver or online throughout BC.

HOW TO GET STARTED
STEP 2: Intake Session
The initial session will focus on getting to know one another, exploring the specific reasons you are seeking therapy, and assessing whether working together may serve you well.
STEP 1: Book a Free Consult
If you would like to meet me, hear a little bit about how I approach therapy, or ask any questions, I provide a free 20 minute consultation.
STEP 3: Regular Therapy
We set shared goals together and schedule a period of regular talk therapy sessions. These are typically once per week, and last 50 minutes. We check in regularly to assess the process and schedule accordingly.
“It’s a joy to be hidden and a disaster not to be found.”
