A psychoanalyst & psychologist specializing in mental health, emotional wellbeing, personal growth, & transformational self-care
Dr. Bronce J. Rice, PsyD, MSW, is a highly respected psychoanalyst and psychologist specializing in mental health, emotional wellbeing, personal growth, and transformational self-care. With more than 25 years of private practice experience, Dr. Rice has helped hundreds of individuals explore their emotional lives, understand deep-seated behavioral patterns, and create sustainable paths toward holistic health and greater life fulfillment.
Dr. Rice’s clinical expertise is rooted in extensive training at prestigious institutions, including the Western New England Institute for Psychoanalysis, Yale University, and the University of Michigan. His background in psychoanalytic theory and modern psychological research allows him to integrate traditional depth work with cutting-edge wellness strategies. In addition to his clinical practice, he has taught psychoanalytic theory and technique and conducted advanced research on mental health and emotional resilience.
Based in New Haven, Connecticut, Dr. Rice provides expert care through his private practice and through specialized health and wellness coaching. His coaching model supports clients who are motivated to optimize their overall wellbeing—mental, emotional, physical, and relational. Dr. Rice works closely with each individual to address key aspects of wellbeing, including stress management, sleep optimization, nutrition, fitness, emotional regulation, and cultivating deeper purpose and connection in everyday life.
Central to Dr. Rice’s philosophy is the belief that lasting change comes not from rigid, one-size-fits-all plans, but from intentionally building healthier patterns of living. Through his work, he helps clients design their own personalized “Wellbeing Equation,” an individualized framework that honors the whole person—their unique physiology, psychology, relationships, environment, and aspirations. Every client’s journey is treated as a dynamic, evolving process rather than a linear checklist, emphasizing the importance of adaptability, self-awareness, and compassion along the way.
Dr. Rice has extensive experience treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress-related disorders. He also works with individuals navigating major life transitions, relationship challenges, professional burnout, and existential concerns around meaning, aging, and fulfillment. He specializes in helping clients strengthen both their emotional resilience and their ability to sustain meaningful, healthy living over time.
Clients often describe Dr. Rice as a trusted guide and thought partner who brings both clinical expertise and compassionate insight to the process of transformational self-care. His approach is characterized by warmth, depth, and an ability to foster lasting change without imposing rigid formulas. Many of his clients are thoughtful, motivated individuals who recognize the principles of wellness but seek expert support in fully embodying and maintaining those changes in real life.
Through his newsletter, The Wellbeing Equation, and his upcoming book of the same name, Dr. Rice shares practical tools for enhancing mental health, managing life’s inevitable stressors, and fostering psychological wellbeing. His work draws from psychoanalysis, psychology, health sciences, and behavioral change research to offer a truly holistic, empowering approach to personal development and self-mastery. His writing and coaching invite readers and clients alike to view wellbeing as an ongoing, living process—something that evolves with care, commitment, and conscious attention.
If you are seeking expert support to improve your mental health, transform your relationship to stress, foster greater emotional resilience, and live a healthier, more meaningful life, Dr. Rice offers the experience, wisdom, and compassionate partnership to help you create lasting and transformative change.
