Learn More About Me
Hi! My name is Rene Rice. I work with adults who need extra space, physically or metaphorically. You might live life in a larger body, have romantic relationships with multiple people, or engage in relationships that don't fit the typical mold. There is space here for people processing complex feelings about their childhood or parents, and those who have difficult relationships with their family. People who work with me find peace with their bodies, develop healthy relationships, find ways to nourish themselves without shame, and become comfortable taking up the space they need to be authentically themselves.
As a fat, polyamorous, kinky person myself, I've had my share of crappy experiences with clueless mental health providers. No one should have to walk into a therapy room and spend the majority of the time educating their provider rather than addressing the issues that brought them to therapy in the first place. I bring lived experience in these communities as well as my bachelor and masters degrees in social work to address all parts of your life.
Ample Space Counseling
Taking up space can be a scary thing, especially in a culture that values fitting in. Perhaps you feel dismissed or unheard by your health care team. You might be thinking about how "out" you want to be about your non-traditional relationships. Maybe you're navigating size-based discrimination at work. You might even find yourself in unhealthy relationships because you're worried your concerns won't be taken seriously..
Working Together
Through our work together you'll find yourself feeling more confident, at peace with yourself, and ready to face the challenges of living in a culture that doesn't really understand. At the end of our time together, you'll feel like there's ample space in your life for everything that's important to you.
