My work is rooted in both research and lived experience — blending the precision of psychology with the wisdom of the body. Over time, I’ve come to see that true transformation happens when the nervous system feels safe enough to support expansion — when healing becomes the foundation for creativity, connection, and purpose.

I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, with advanced training in trauma, maternal mental health, and integrative approaches to wellness. My postdoctoral work and continuing education have focused on somatic coaching, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed practice.

Where Science Meets Embodiment

about dr. Brittany rice, phd

This foundation allows me to bring the science of psychology into a holistic, embodied framework — one that honors both mind and body in the process of growth.

My lineage of learning draws from the fields of polyvagal theory, attachment science, and somatic psychology, as well as contemplative and embodied traditions that center presence, rhythm, and relational safety.

My ongoing studies and influences include:

Mindfulness, breathwork, and movement practices for embodied safety
Integrative and perinatal psychology connecting nervous system health with life transitions

Healing is not about becoming a new person — it’s about returning to yourself. Your nervous system already knows how to find balance; it just needs the conditions of safety, curiosity, and compassion to remember. My work is to help you create those conditions — within your body, relationships, and everyday life.
