Kevin Rice, M.A.,
Registered Clinical Psychologist 902-830-4641
Mr. Rice holds a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Saskatchewan (1999) and an Honours Science degree in Biology and Psychology from Acadia University (1996). He has provided psychological assessment, therapy, and consultation services in numerous clinical settings since 2000.
Mr. Rice specializes in helping adults experiencing issues related to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and exposure to many types of trauma. With two decades of experience providing services to members of the RCMP and military (active and retired), Mr. Rice has considerable expertise adapting empirically-derived PTSD treatments to the ‘real world’ needs and concerns of front-line personnel and first responders. From his research background with adult survivors of childhood abuse, Mr. Rice also has a longstanding special interest in helping people who grew up in difficult family environments.
In a collaborative fashion, Mr. Rice works with people to create an individualized treatment plan with an emphasis on developing healthy coping and awareness skills. Particular attention is devoted to building on existing strengths and personal resources and incorporating specific goals for change.
Mr. Rice aims to offer a balance of support and gentle, respectful challenge; an approach that facilitates the development of increased self-awareness – a critical skill that enables us to respond to life experiences in an adaptive / healthy manner (rather than taking actions driven by strong / automatic emotional reactions).
In addition to his clinical work, Mr. Rice is a past President of the Association of Psychologists of Nova Scotia (APNS) and former Chair of the Association’s Post-Trauma Services Committee. His curriculum vitae is available for download in PDF format.
