very BAD experience

My experience with Dr.Rice's therapy was very disappointing. For the first couple of sessions he put in his best effort and that's how I got sold on continuing with him. But later he started sort of slacking off.But that's not the worst of it. He would make these offensive comments and I really didn't know what to think of him. Having read all the previous comments I'm guessing he must be hating his patients. He needs to retire. Period.

Wow, just wow. I don't even want to describe some of the things that went on during my therapy sessions with Dr. Rice. I will say that if you have masochistic tendencies, then this is the psychologist for you. If you actually want to feel better, stay far away from him. I'm still blown away by some of the things he said and did. I'll get over my shock, but I'm most concerned with the seriously mentally ill people who have such low self esteem that they will just continue to be abused by him, somehow thinking they deserve it. Also, he calls himself a Christian yet I'm sure Jesus wouldn't approve of his behaviors, particularly when dealing with such a weak and vulnerable population. Another thing that I find....curious is that the three 5 star reviews (2 of which are a double post) were written within a week of each other. I believe these reviews were not written by actual customers.

Living Hope Clinic, Dr. Rice

As a Harvard-trained psychologist, I expected excellent treatment from Dr. Rice, and I have certainly been pleased with how he chooses to work with me. Not everyone will form an effective alliance with every particular practitioner, but for me, Dr. Rice's approach and demeanor is very comfortable and also very effective. I sought his assistance with issues that impacted my ability to function in daily life and he has really been effective in guiding me through self-reflection and in helping me learn how to confront negative thinking and disproportionate self-criticism. While the choice of whose help to seek is deeply personal, I have found Dr. Rice to be extremely effective, very professional, and very determined to assist me in achieving my goals.

Living Hope

Dr. Rice has been a very patient and understanding psychologist. I have appreciated the outside reading suggestions and follow up discussions. I didn't realize that it was possible to take charge of your health and well-being through hypnosis. Both the hypnosis sessions and the cognitive behavior therapy have been very helpful. Thank you Dr. Rice for sharing many useful tools and skills.

Living Hope Clinic

Living Hope Clinic offered the healing I was seeking through a Christ centered foundation, focus and spirit. I feel very blessed and thankful to have been in such good care. Very professional.The patient billing seemed a little screwy as I received upto 3 statements in a month that did not necessarily reflect payments made. Perhaps that is their normal. I on the other hand am used to receiving a monthly statement that reflects a more accurate accounting within a thirty day period.

Very BAD experience

My experience with Dr. Rice was unfortunately not a positive one. He really gave his best for the first couple of sessions and that's how I got sold into continuing with him, but then he started sort of slacking off. Despite all of his credentials, he doesn't seem to have that something that makes a good therapist. In my case, he would jump to conclusions fast without really trying to understand what I meant, he would make remarks that made me feel belittled and therefore unwilling to "bare my soul" anymore. My last visit with him was truly horrible; without going into details I"ll say that I left his office in a state of panic that took me 2 good weeks to recover from. Please, stay away.

Dr. Rice Review by patient

Four years ago I was looking for a Christian based Psychologist to help me deal with my DID here in Idaho. Dr Rice has been able to effectively help me continue to integrate my personalities and have them work together. He has also been able to help me get the two sides of my brain working together which my former Psychologist gave up hope of achieving. I recognize that Dr. Rice will not work well with every patient having had experiences with psychologist and psychiatrist that I was not able to work with because of personality conflict and or having a working method that did no meet my needs.I am very happy to have Dr Rice because he has brought excellent in site into how I can improve my mental health.

Doctors Review

I have been seeing Dr. Rice for severa months. I have been very happy with his help, and his help in making me become more adapt at handling my affairs. I intend to continue my therapy through one day a week, and reading self-help books he has recommended, including Addictive Thinking and Love is Never Enough.

Help in time of great need.

Dr Rice at the Living Hope Clinic has been more than a doctor to me. He is a friend. He treats me with the care that one would give a daughter. I have had other doctors over the years because of my chonic condition, but Dr. Rice has done the most for me. I like having a Dr. who is kind but who has an authoritative demeanor. He has confidence in what he knows and passes that feeling on to the patient. You can succeed with Dr. Rice's gentle guidance and encouragement. I have had ups and downs in life and at my job, but Dr Rice has been my supporter all the way, he really does care. I cant recommend him strongly enough.

My experience with Dr. Rice was outright awful. His methods were ineffective and dated, he didn't listen to what I had to say, instead he would jump to conclusions and put words into my mouth. On a couple of occasions he even made some rude comments that sounded more like an insult. The last time I had a "pleasure" to see him, I left his office in a state of panic. Please, stay way.

I have found over several years with my multiple personality that Dr. Rice is a very effective therapist for me. He keeps me on track and focuses on the issues at hand. If I wander he lets me know and brings me back to dealing with my problems. Because of this I believe that Dr. Rice is very good but is not for everyone. If you want an ear to cry on you probable will not want Dr. Rice. If you are serious about changing your thinking and getting better I highly recommend Dr. Rice.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Rice. He has been my therapist for 3 years helping me handle my bi polar disorder and also helps me reduce my stress. I haven't had a manic episode since I have been seeing him and when I have a lot of stress in my life, I have called his office,and they ALWAYS get me right in. Dr. Rice is the kindest and most caring man I have ever had the privilege being treated by. I would strongly recommend him to my family and friends without hesitation. If you want someone who really cares about your mental health and who will work hard to help you, go see Dr. Rice.

My visits with Dr. Rice were disappointing. He bragged that he knew how to do things, but while he assigned homework, he barely reviewed it. Instead of getting to the core issues, he was eager to do "guided imagery" which did nothing to address the real issues -- it was just a temporary distraction.

I would not recommend Dr. Rice. He did not actively listen or try to determine how to help. He would quickly jump to a conclusion, and often put his own words into my mouth, instead of allowing me to explain what I actually felt.



I gained nothing during my visits with Dr. Rice. My experience with Dr. Rice was a waste of time and money. My trust and faith in therapy has been shaken.

Robbed of Hope

Instead of feeling supproted and encourage I experienced being ridiculed and belittled. Even though they say that religion will only be used if requested I was bombarded with thier beliefs and views. I found that they had an agenda that overshadowed my needs. I finally turned to another Hypnotherapist: Dona Coombs with Aurora hypnotherapy, who intuitively seemed to know where to guide and support me in addressing my issues and helped fulfill my goals. I Hope you learn from my experience.
