“The provider i selected was unavailable so I was seen by someone else who was nice, i did not mind the change but it was confusing as there were many portals and questionnaires to fill in and then it was hard to find the link to join as i had received multiple emails from different platforms and I did not know what name or company to search in my email. ”

Getting to know Ella Rasmussen
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MHC-LP) with a Master's in Forensic Mental Health Counseling from John Jay College of Criminal Justice, I specialize in trauma recovery, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I commend you for taking the courageous first step toward finding the care and support you deserve.
I deeply value the opportunity to grow alongside my clients, both professionally and personally. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where healing can unfold. At the same time, I am committed to gently challenging my clients to push beyond their limits and achieve their goals.
Trust is the foundation of my therapeutic approach, and I prioritize building strong, authentic connections with each individual I work with. I am attuned to the evolving needs that arise throughout the healing journey, adapting my approach to ensure these needs are met with compassion, empathy, and respect. My goal is to help clients embrace their true selves, develop self-assurance, and move forward with confidence.
In addition to my foundational training, I hold an advanced certificate in victim services and specialize in trauma-informed therapy. Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy, I work with clients to understand the role of their past in shaping their present, integrate this awareness into their sense of self, and build a personalized toolkit for healing and growth.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe in creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. I use a person-centered approach to therapy, which means that I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first session, we'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and your history. I'll also answer any questions you have about the therapy process. From there, we'll work collaboratively to develop a treatment plan that meets your specific needs.
A typical therapy session may involve exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as identifying patterns that may be contributing to your challenges. I may also offer coping skills and strategies to help you manage your symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
Additional Information:
I offer telehealth services, so you can access therapy from the comfort of your own home.
I am a certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT).
I have experience working with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds.
Please note: I do not provide medication management services. If you are interested in medication management, I can provide referrals to qualified psychiatrists.

Ella has been an incredibly helpful therapist for me. Not only is she sympathetic and creates a safe, warm environment for our conversations, but she does an excellent job giving me tools to work out things on my own and in my own life. She does a great job supporting me and also pointing out the places that need some change. I highly recommend.
