Learn More About Me
Hi! My name is Rene Rice. I work with adults who live life in larger bodies. Plus size, fat, fluffy, overweight, however you describe yourself I'm here for your unique challenges. People who work with me find peace with their bodies, find ways to nurish themselves without shame, and become comfortable taking up the space they need to be authentically themselves. I also work with people who find that there isn't enough space in the traditional therapy room for their non-traditional relationship. Whether you're in the polyamory community or the kink community, there's room here for your relationships, lifestyle, and challenges.
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 thinness above everything else. Perhaps you feel dismissed or unheard by your health care team. Maybe you're navigating size-based discrimination at work. You might even find yourself in unhealthy relationships because you've come to believe that you have to expect less.
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.
