Nancy Rice

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and provide therapy in both English and Portuguese. My practice focuses on helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and emotional connection.

My specialties include:

• Trauma treatment using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
• Relationship counseling utilizing the Gottman Method
• Support for anxiety and depression
• Guidance through life transitions and personal growth
• Affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples

I work collaboratively with clients to create a supportive, compassionate, and goal-oriented therapeutic environment where healing and meaningful change can occur.

My focus is to help individuals restore balance by examining all areas of life, reframing situations from a slightly different perspective, and renewing or recharging by implementing coping skills and goals that assist in identifying things one can control and gaining awareness of one’s inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral, safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan that integrates the total person—body, mind, and soul.

Depression, fear, and anxiety are common and challenging emotions that many of us face at some point. You might be experiencing depression or anxiety due to a genetic predisposition without specific triggers. If you’re grappling with your identity and bisexuality, gaining self-acceptance and understanding can be beneficial. Additionally, if you’re dealing with grief, loss, or traumatic events that have hindered your ability to move forward and enjoy life, counseling and treatment can assist you in regaining motivation, perspective, and joy.
