Felicia Cocq-Rasmussen

Felicia has always been fascinated by human behavior and the deeper reasons behind why we are the way we are. Born and raised in Northern New Mexico to immigrant parents, she spent her teenage and young adult years in Copenhagen, Denmark before returning to New Mexico to pursue her passion for working with people.

She holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a neuroscience focus and a Master's degree in Social Work. Her clinical specialties include complex trauma, neurodiversity, and self-esteem. She is a strong believer in creating meaningful accommodations and approaches her work with compassion, curiosity, and acceptance at the forefront.

She works especially well with individuals who intellectually understand the "why" behind their patterns but find themselves unable to shift into alignment with who they want to be or how they want to live. Whether that misalignment shows up as anxiety, depression-related lack of motivation, unresolved trauma, or ongoing painful dynamics, she supports clients in breaking cycles that feel stuck or overwhelming.

Her therapeutic approach is integrative and grounded in both cognitive and somatic work. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with evidence-based bottom-up processing approaches designed to release and transform deeply stored emotional and physiological responses. She is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Mindfulness-Based Somatic Emotional Processing. In her work, clients first explore and understand the "why," then move into processing the "how," and ultimately work toward releasing and accepting the "what was" so they can move forward with greater clarity and freedom.

In addition to individual work, she believes humans are wired for connection and that unhealthy relationship dynamics are often learned rather than chosen. She enjoys working with couples and recognizes that committed relationships can be more challenging than they need to be. Through strengthening communication skills and expanding emotional capacity, she helps couples build a strong sense of self while fostering healthy, reliable, and trustworthy bonds.

Outside of her clinical work, she is an avid outdoors enthusiast. She enjoys mountain biking, fly fishing, snowboarding, and hiking, and has a talent for discovering hidden New Mexico watering holes, especially desert oases perfect for a swim. She appreciates fashion, music, art, and creative self-expression, and is currently renovating and restoring a 100-year-old adobe woodworking shop into her home.
