Christine Rice (She / Her) Every person who enters my office comes with their own unique history, identity, strengths and therapy goals. With this focus, I employ a variety of therapeutic approaches including existential therapy, emotion focused therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Gottman Method so I can tailor our sessions to your needs. In our sessions, I will use compassion and unconditional positive regard to create a space where you can bring your whole self. I welcome all clients (both couples and individuals).

I specialize in sexual & relationship concerns including infidelity, intimacy, desire & couples therapy for individuals or CNM partners with a focus on rebuilding connection, communication, and conflict skills. My treatment approach is based on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). This includes exploring self-talk, relationships, and patterns to help you better understand yourself and achieve your goals. I focus on educating the client, utilizing your strengths and providing techniques to overcome conflicts. My goal is not to diagnose you but to improve your life and your relationships to manage future concerns independently.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy: Do fights with your spouse happen so often that you can't even tell when one ended and the next began? And somehow the things that you used to admire about each other are now the jabs that you throw out during the latest fight? You're probably exhausted of feeling resentful and unappreciated, and also discouraged that your marriage could be better because every time you work up the courage to honestly try and listen to each other it seems to blow up into an argument anyway.

Clients seek counseling wanting to be understood and know what to do about their problems. Fighting in circles without resolution, struggling to communicate or feel understood, and arguing or shutting down are all symptoms of relationship struggles. Low desire, affairs, and trust violations are symptoms of deeper relationship problems. I like helping people get down to business so they can understand and correct problems at the core. Clients love my genuine, straightforward approach and learn a lot in sessions. They leave feeling safe, with increased hope, and tasks to work on to improve their lives and achieve their goals.

The client/therapist relationship is one of the strongest indicators of client success and the therapy hour is that rare occasion where one can feel safe sharing their thoughts, feelings, fears, disappointments, and dreams without judgment. My strengths as a therapist begin with my ability to make clients feel comfortable while being fully engaged and invested in their progress. My clients regularly comment on my ability to remember even the simplest of details from previous sessions even upon returning to therapy years later. I'm also continually adding to my knowledge base which allows me to add new dimensions to the therapy hour.

Do you want more out of life? Do you have hopes and dreams that seem unattainable? You have come to the right place. Many people spend their lives wishing for more, but fear change. If you are ready to make positive changes in your life, contact me, lets get started. I look forward to meeting you. Openings for new clients: Tues/Fri 9-5pm only.
