Allison Rice currently works as an Individual & Family Therapist in her own private practice and oversees a growing team of Counselling Associates. Allison meets with clients on the phone and online. When asked to share about why she works in this field, Allison expresses herself emphatically and wholeheartedly "I believe that change IS possible and that people can find freedom from their struggles no matter how deeply entrenched the patterns have become or how slight the change might need to be." Growing up Allison played a ton of sports while learning the violin among many other things. She played with Badminton Canada and was Athlete of the Year at Douglas College in 1999. She then spent a few years traveling and working for a circus company in Toronto as a musical entertainer. Allison continues to play violin with her friends and badminton as time permits. She is close with her large modern family and spends much of her free time walking her dog on the many nature trails around her house or in the garden.
