Testimonials

Recent reviews & perspectives from Bronce's clients.

I started seeing Dr. Rice as a graduate student at Yale's School of Management. I was initially looking for a therapist to help me through a transition period where I was struggling and needed support adjusting to a new routine. Bronce offered a highly empathetic, holistic approach, allowing us to dig into the underlying causes of my symptoms and construct a personalized framework to improve my health, relationships, and wellbeing. I have continued to work with Bronce in the years since, and he has continued to support me in navigating many of life's stresses, including professional life as a consultant at McKinsey as well as personal and family challenges. Our sessions have allowed me to establish a routine of healthy habits that have irrevocably changed my life for the better. I look forward to continued work with Bronce for years to come.

“Dr. Rice's theoretical expertise and practical insights enable him to effectively guide individuals to reclaim their experiences and build resilience. Trauma, anxiety, and other states of distress can feel profoundly alienating and disempowering. I'm so grateful to have found a compassionate psychologist to anchor my trauma recovery and help restore a precious sense of balance to my life as a whole. With a deep understanding of the complexities of trauma, Dr. Rice offers a safe and supportive environment where past experiences can be processed and integrated into a brighter future.”

"Working with Bronce has improved all aspects of my life. I understand myself and my relationships better. Every week I look forward to our hour together as a chance to step away from the swirl of the everyday to think with him through my thoughts, feelings, and actions.”

“I have worked with Dr Rice for several years as my therapist. He is a caring and compassionate doctor who really listens to what is going on in my life. He has guided me step by step every week on the best ways to work on my issues and together we have come up with healthy solutions. I highly recommend Dr Rice as a great therapist who has helped me heal from my past traumas and together we have made great progress towards helping me live a better life.”

"We all want to be understood. We all want, also, to understand ourselves and the people we care about. Therapy is a weekly exercise and a long-term practice of emotional education--the way a runner might train for a marathon or a musician might master her instrument. Emotional maturity, enlightenment, and peace-of-mind can occur in the enduring partnership between therapist and client. Over many years of practice and reflection, Dr. Rice has taught me that weekly sessions make for a more reflective, sophisticated, and emotionally-mature life that buoy us in difficult times. We all need this, and we all should be so fortunate to have Dr. Rice on the road along."

"I first came to Bronce Rice in the fall of 2019 when the stress of graduate school and anxiety about my relationships felt debilitating. Over the past four years working with Bronce, I have learned a lot about myself. The most significant lesson I've gained is a deeper appreciation of the link between my physiology and mental health. I have found that it's much easier for me to manage my thoughts and emotions if I: (1) Get sufficient sleep—at least seven hours per night, (2) Stay hydrated, (3) Maintain an exercise routine, (4) Build and maintain meaningful relationships, (5) Eat nutritious, healthy food that I enjoy. These habits have become part of my everyday life, and they are like second nature to me. My mental health and overall satisfaction with life are much better for it."

"I came to Dr Rice years ago at a time in my life where I felt I was in a "funk" dealing with frustration and anger stemming from a chaotic life balancing marriage, family, and career. He's been a tremendous asset helping me work through the roots of my anger and frustration while, at the same time, exploring those strategies that improve well-being and reduce stress. Through countless hours of listening, questioning, reframing, and strategizing I feel much more grounded and secure in myself, my marriage and my family. I feel fortunate to continue my journey of self exploration with Dr. Rice for many years to come."

"As a professional in a high-stress position, my time working with Bronce has truly made an immense difference. His thoughtful, holistic approach is engaging, insightful, and effective, all while maintaining a very human and relatable interaction style. I can honestly say that I am now more balanced and able to manage life in significantly healthier ways with more joy, all while continuing to succeed, and even accelerate, in my career. Perhaps most importantly though, his approach has also led to deeper and healthier personal relationships with my friends, family, and partner."
