Martin A. Rasmussen, LPCC/ Rasmussen Counseling LLC

"Mr. Rasmussen has helped me through the years deal with painful family issues and provided the concepts and skills to cope, heal, and grow. It was not an overnight process and Mr. Rasmussen proved to be committed to progress and helping me deal with issues as they are, and gave constructive and beneficial feedback and tools to not only accept seemingly unchangeable circumstances (at the moment) but to grow amidst them. Mr. Rasmussen has been honest, professional, and down-to-earth. If someone is serious about self exploration and is willing to take an honest look at their position in life and want the help to grow, then counseling with Mr. Rasmussen should bring much reward and change. As the famous adage goes: what you (and me) put into something, is what we get out of it. Counseling with Mr. Rasmussen has proven this to me."

"I visited Marty following a traumatic life event from my childhood. However, he shockingly told my mom that I was simply "faking it" when it came to my anxiety. Such dismissive words had a profoundly negative impact on my well-being, and I strongly question his suitability as a healthcare professional."

"Marty is great. It really is that simple but I will share a little of my story. I have been seeing Marty for over a year now, seeking help for a highly contentious and volitile co-parenting situation with my son’s mother. It started as a court order and has evolved into a very looked forward to weekly session. That’s how bad my situation has been, seeing Marty every week to resolve issues I have been dealing with for over 12 years and in the court system for almost 3 years. Marty has been just as tenacious and involved as I have been in resolving these issues. Even going as far as to take personal calls outside of his office. I couldn’t say enough good things about Marty and the progress I have made not only in my situation but in myself as well. It’s disheartening and maddening, but not surprising, to see 2 very shallow and weak reviews from 2 very bitter individuals who seem to be out to attack and discredit a person who’s very profession and nature is to help people. To help the very people leaving such toxic reviews is ironic and sad. My heart goes out to them but discuss your grievances with your new therapist in private. These highly emotional situations that bring you to Marty in the first place are understandable and probably explain your behavior and comments but that doesn’t give you the right to try and discredited an honorable man doing his best to resolve YOUR issues. Remember....your kids are a reflection of you. Shawn"

"As cliché as it sounds, I can genuinely say that working with Marty Rasmussen both saved and changed my life. Marty led me through a very challenging period of my life and for that I will forever be grateful. Marty is an incredibly gifted counselor and advisor; a remarkable therapist. He knew when to probe, when to listen, what questions were likely to get me thinking. He showed me how to release my worry and pain so that I could be free to work on changing my perspective and approach. He has a wealth of experience and offered amazing strategies to better deal with my difficult past and my resultant circumstances. He taught me to see things in a completely new light which brought me hope and a calm sense of being throughout the sometimes difficult years of therapy. Before I met Marty, I'd been through my fair share of counseling with poor results. Now, it has been almost 4 years since my therapy concluded and I'm extremely thankful for this positive experience to fall back on as I truly enjoy the rest of my life! If you're feeling lost, trapped, stuck, like you're drowning...do yourself a favor: please, go see Marty, commit to doing the work, and stick with it, even when it gets hard. You will be forever satisfied!"

"Words cannot begin to express how grateful I am to Marty at Rasmussen Counseling for helping me put my life back together after my wife died. 3 years ago I lost my wife of 10 years to a tragic accident; the crime scene of which I discovered in our home. It was Christmas-time, and we had a 7 month old baby and a 2 year old. I was utterly devastated. I needed help processing what had happened, the images I saw, and needed to learn how to cope with trauma, and adjust to the new normal of my life. At the recommendation of friends, I found Marty at Rasmussen Counseling. Over a period of 1.5 years Marty worked with me weekly. He helped me frame the situation in a healthy perspective. He helped me develop coping skills. In some conversations, Marty's dose of frank honest opinion, helped steer me away from adopting a victim mentality. My situation did not, and still does not define me! A conversation that I had with Marty that I remember with crystal clarity, is when he asked me if I really even needed him anymore after 18months! Together, we had done so much productive work, that Marty believed that I was well enough to discontinue sessions! I think of it fondly as the day I was booted from therapy because I was healthy enough mentally and emotionally to be on my own again! I whole-heartedly believe that because of Marty's expertise, honesty and patience, I have been able to not only live happily again, but thrive! I am happily remarried and my children are excelling in life! Choosing to work with Marty Rasmussen at Rasmussen counseling for any family counseling related matter would be a very wise decision with lasting results. Nathan Neidigk"
