Allison Rice LMFT

Welcome

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in San Luis Obispo (LMFT #96361), offering couples counseling and individual therapy to the Central Coast community. I work with clients of diverse backgrounds and lifestyles. I welcome you to show up exactly as you are.

If you are overwhelmed by life and emotions, or just feel like something is off, therapy can help. An imbalance between the body, mind and spirit can lead to anxiety, depression and all sorts of discomfort. Life can be strange, painful and unpredictable. People we care about let us down. And we let ourselves down! We get stuck in old patterns and don't know how to change. You may also feel that your life is pretty decent and yet, you want something more.

Maybe you are struggling with a relationship, or even ending one. People often think they have fallen out of love or that there has been too much hurt to repair the damage and close the distance. I provide insight and tools for couples to work out their misunderstandings and reduce conflict, rediscovering ways to bond, communicate, and connect on a deeper level. If a relationship is ending, I will help you sort through your thoughts and feelings and figure out what you need to move forward. There are also those who desire a loving, supportive relationship and don't know how to go about finding it.

My office is a comfortable space where you can share your story, speak your mind and create a more balanced and fulfilling life. Sometimes you need an outside perspective when friends may have biased opinions or it's just too hard to deal with your thoughts and emotions alone. There is great depth in the therapeutic relationship, as it can be one of growth and healing that will extend to other relationships and areas of your life.

I have training in EMDR, Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy & Integration with experience in ketamine and micro dosing psilocybin, Relational Life Therapy for couples, Shambala Meditation and more.
