Hello! My name is Dr. Pam Trice! I moved to Rochester, NY in 2024 to be near my family, after practicing 20 years in Chicago, IL. I entered the field of somatic psychology after I experienced my own personal growth with a very gifted somatic practitioner/ massage therapist. She helped clients gain access to parts of themselves that had not yet been accessed in traditional talk-therapy. I realized that this additional somatic approach was a wonderful healing resource for clients. I enrolled in massage therapy school in 2012. I then specialized in somatic psychotherapy in Illinois over the last 10+ years, teaching both counselors and bodyworkers the importance of the body and somatic awareness in wholistic treatment.
I attended Fuller Graduate School of Psychology in Pasadena, CA, and earned both my Masters (1999) and Doctor of Clinical Psychology (PsyD) degree (2003). My pre-doctoral internship (similar to a residency) was in Chicago with the CACTC (Chicago Area Christian Training Consortium), and after completing it--I stayed in Chicago! I taught both graduate and undergraduate psychology students at Wheaton College and also provided supervision for therapists in training. After teaching for two years, I opened my private practice in Chicago--and have worked directly with clients ever since! It is my greatest joy to see people heal and grow--and be one of the people privileged to accompany them on their amazing journey!
