Everyone Experiences Life Challenges

Many people are walking through life wondering how to get through the next day.

They feel the need to find strength, stability, and happiness again in their lives.

“I’ll do anything to stop feeling so disconnected and isolated.”

You’re desperate to fix your relationships or find love.

More than anything you want to fall back in love with your life again.

And that’s an inside job.

You Don’t Have to Do it Alone

This is a journey that will bring you into deeper connection with yourself and your surroundings.

Something has brought things to a head and it is time to lean into this challenge.

Make the decision to take the first step in your journey back to you.

Our office is a place for you to feel relaxed, secure, and safe.

When you are handed everything you thought you wanted in life, but still feel isolated and alone, those feelings can be overwhelming. When you are going through a difficult transition, life can feel like it will break you.

You deserve to be treated with kindness, care, and respect. These are the ingredients that develop a strong connection to work together.

This deep connection of respect and trust anchors the exploration and discovery.

Life is All About Relationships

We can help you create a safe place to explore how to be your true self.

Our greatest teaching moments happened in the school of life.

We have had to traverse our own loss and grief through life which has enabled us to be an unparalleled support to our clients. We’ve helped our clients learn how to navigate the challenges of starting a family, getting divorced, the death of loved ones, and all of life’s transitions.

In working together, we cultivate growth by understanding the obstacles that you face and developing the tools for creating loving relationships and feeling more connected to life.

We’ve worked in inpatient, outpatient, and residential treatment programs, in addition to having developed and managed clinical programs, provided clinical supervision, in-services for staff and interns, and provided trainings throughout the county.

Having a background as a clinician and hospice director has a given us a unique perspective on the healthcare system.

A Little About Jacqueline Rasmussen

Over the years, I’ve continued to find success in helping people feel comfortable and cared for through some of the darkest hours in their lives.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCS17083), Certified RLT Trainer, Bootcamp Facilitator and Therapist, who has been practicing for over 30 years, utilizing Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and an Attachment-Based couples’ approach (EFT).

These approaches have allowed clients to address the past and focus on the future in a systematic and straightforward way.

I’m a therapist, wife, daughter, mother, and regular person who likes going to the movies, walking on the beach, and loves hiking outdoors.

 

A Little About Mike Rasmussen

For years, I have been helping couples deepen their relationships and gain insights on the subconscious patterns running in the background of their lives.

I am an RLT Certified Relational Coach and RLT Bootcamp Facilitator who is passionate about supporting others to enrich their lives through a better understanding of themselves and their relationships.

By developing the client’s bond with themself and teaching relational tools, they bring even more themselves to, and improve, every relationship in their life.

I am a husband, and father who loves hiking in nature, cooking, travel. When I’m not with clients you will likely find me outdoors with my family.

 

A Little About Trish Fadem

I facilitate the growth and transformation of individuals and couples, helping them move from suffering into the life they choose.

I am a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT 143098, supervised by Jacqueline Rasmussen, LCSW LCS17083). I received my master’s in Counseling at Palo Alto University. As part of my master’s program, I completed advanced training in grief and couples counseling. Little did I know that I would experience my own loss and grief with the unexpected death of my husband.

This has only made me more resilient, compassionate, and available to support people through their own life transitions.

When I am not working, I love dancing, riding my bike, doing Yoga, and creating art.

 

A Little About Ernie LeDuc

I bring genuine warmth and curiosity into every session, honoring the unique story each couple and individual carries with them. My hope for every person I work with is that they leave with greater clarity, a sense of healing, and the freedom to truly thrive in their closest relationships and in their broader lives.

As an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC 22331, supervised by Jacqueline Rasmussen LCSW LCS17083), I hold a master’s degree from the Townsend Institute at Concordia University Irvine. I have clinical experience working with both couples and individuals, drawing from a range of evidence-based approaches, including EFT, CBT, Attachment Theory, Strengths-Based work, and ACT, to meet people where they are in a way that feels natural and real.

When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll find me making music at local gigs, biking, chasing after my little ones with my wife, or stealing a quiet moment at a neighborhood coffee shop.

 

A Little About Dina Nasry

I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative, empowering, and tailored to who you are. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel genuinely seen and from there, we work together to build healthier communication, stronger boundaries, and more connected relationships.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT 165015) and CADTP certified Substance Use Disorder Counselor, I hold a master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant University. Over five years of clinical experience, I have worked closely with couples, families, individuals, and adolescents, with a particular focus on helping people strengthen their relationships, rebuild trust, and navigate life’s most challenging transitions. My background also includes supporting clients through substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions, as well as those from diverse cultural backgrounds. I draw from EFT, CBT, and DBT to help clients understand patterns of disconnection and develop more fulfilling ways of relating to the people they love.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me outdoors with family and close friends, camping, walking the beach with my kids, or exploring somewhere new. I love to travel and discover places I’ve never been.
