Counseling Services with Eric Rice LMFT

I provide individual counseling for adults and adolescents navigating life's challenges, whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or feeling stuck in patterns that aren't serving you. With over 17 years of experience as a marriage and family therapist, I bring a systems perspective to individual work, meaning we don't just address surface symptoms, but explore the root causes and how different aspects of your life interconnect. My approach is direct and collaborative, focusing on creating meaningful, sustainable change rather than just managing symptoms. In addition to individual counseling, I also offer couples counseling and family counseling to address relationship dynamics. Whether you're facing a specific crisis or working toward personal growth through life coaching or parent coaching, I tailor our work together to your unique needs and goals.    

I provide couples counseling to help partners improve communication, work through conflicts, and rebuild connection when relationships feel stuck or strained. Using a systems-based approach, I guide you in understanding the patterns and cycles that keep you trapped in the same arguments, focusing on breaking those patterns rather than just treating symptoms. Whether you're facing trust issues, communication breakdowns, life transitions, or simply feeling disconnected, I create a supportive environment where both partners feel heard. We emphasize the underlying dynamics that need to shift. My goal isn't to take sides; rather, it's to facilitate individual counseling that allows you to understand each other better and develop skills that strengthen your relationship long after our sessions.

Family dynamics can be complex and challenging, especially when you're dealing with adolescent behavior issues, parent-child conflict, or major life transitions. I offer family counseling to help families improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build stronger bonds by viewing the family as a system, where each person's behavior impacts everyone else. With extensive experience working with families of all configurations and backgrounds, I help you understand the underlying causes of conflict and develop new patterns of interaction that actually work. Whether you're struggling with a defiant teenager, navigating blended family challenges, or simply feeling like everyone's always fighting, we can also explore individual counseling or life coaching options. Together, we will create a healthier family dynamic where everyone feels heard and valued and I can provide parent coaching to support you in this journey.
