Another possibility would be to arrange a group thing (4 people?). That might be less intimidating for both of you. Or if there is a cafeteria where you work maybe the two of you could eat lunch there (this is less formal than going out).
How long ago was the counseling? Would you ever want to see her as a counselor again? This is the only area that seems complicated to me. Finding the line between friends and counselor/client could be tricky. You are correct to think that you shouldn't "suck her into the vortex of my bottomless need" - what a great sentance! I can truly relate!
I'm happy to hear you talk about doing something with someone else.
You Go Girl!
P.S. I think your "rejection" is imagined
