🐾✨ Sometimes the best therapists come with fur and a wagging tail! My brother Milo and I love teaming up with our mom, Dr. Wendy Rice, to share the same unconditional support she gives her clients. Because often, healing doesn’t need words—just tail wags and love. 💛🐶

Slowing down, digging deeper, and doing my own work. A few thoughts from Dr. Wendy Rice. 💡

As I move through the third intensive weekend of NARM training (NeuroAffective Relational Model), I’m not just learning new techniques—I’m unpacking my own patterns and blind spots.

This training invites us as therapists to notice where we might disconnect, dissociate, over-function, or feel helpless in our work with clients. I’m spending the weekend getting honest with myself, gently exploring these dynamics, and investing in the kind of presence and attunement that helps healing happen.

Doing this inner work makes me a more grounded, compassionate, and effective therapist—and that benefits every rider and client I support. 🧠🐎💙

What does it look like to keep growing as a therapist?
This weekend, I’m in the third of four intensive training modules in NARM—the NeuroAffective Relational Model, a powerful approach to working with complex and developmental trauma.

At Rice Psychology Group, we’ve long believed in looking beneath the surface—to understand the “why” behind symptoms like anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or burnout. NARM aligns beautifully with this philosophy. It’s not about retelling traumatic stories. It’s about understanding how those early experiences still affect how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world—and gently shifting those patterns to create more freedom and connection.

This training has already deepened my work with teens and adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed, and it’s exciting to bring even more depth and nuance to our trauma-informed care.

Whether you’re a client or a clinician, investing in your growth is always worth it. 💙

A few months back, we shared a blog we believe every parent and guardian of teens needs to read—and it’s so important, we’re bringing it back today.
In our digital world, technology opens doors for connection and learning, but it also comes with risks.

One of the most concerning? Sextortion.

With AI making online predators more sophisticated, staying informed is more important than ever. In this blog, Dr. Anna Schrack explores the rising threat of sextortion and how we can work together to protect our kids.

Parenting a teen isn’t easy—especially when emotions run high and communication breaks down. It can be overwhelming when your teen seems disconnected, reactive, or unsure how to express what they’re feeling. But here’s the good news: all is not lost. In fact, two of the most powerful skills you can help your teen develop—empathy and emotional regulation—are absolutely within reach. It doesn’t require perfection—just patience, consistency, and a little love on your part.

In this week’s blog, we explore, why these emotional tools are essential, how you can model and teach them at home, and practical ways to help your teen build stronger, healthier relationships.
