“Dr. Rice brings a wealth of knowledge, encouragement, and personal experience to navigating private practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist. Her supervision helped make the idea of going out on my own feel manageable and increased my confidence in making decisions about my practice. She provides thoughtful guidance on balancing clinical, ethical, and business responsibilities while supporting clinicians in building sustainable practices. I’m grateful for her encouragement and expertise throughout my journey.”
~ Jessica Hulshult, MFT“Dr. Rice’s supervision significantly strengthened my confidence in decision-making within private practice. She consistently models how to slow down, trust the process, and approach challenges thoughtfully rather than feeling pressured to have everything figured out immediately. Her supervision is incredibly real and honest. She provides practical, thoughtful feedback and truly understands how the field operates. Dr. Rice’s collaborative leadership style creates space to work through challenges together while offering clear, experienced guidance. This level of authenticity in supervision has been invaluable to my professional development and has helped me feel more confident in myself while reducing the impact of imposter syndrome.”
~ Maggie Niesen, IMFT“Dr. Domonique Rice leads by example with tenacity, courage, and transparency. Throughout the years I have known her, she has helped guide my journey into private practice by encouraging me to remain teachable and open to growth both personally and professionally. Dr. Rice is a refreshing beacon of knowledge who brings honesty, professionalism, and a personable approach to supervision. Her guidance helped strengthen my confidence in private practice decision-making while balancing clinical, ethical, and business responsibilities. I would not be where I am today without the impact she has had on my life and career, and I highly recommend her supervision to other clinicians.”
~ Lenora Chapman, IMFT“Dr. Rice’s insight and knowledge are invaluable when it comes to building a sustainable private practice. During supervision, whenever I had ideas that were outside my scope of expertise, she helped me recognize that in a supportive and constructive way. Her guidance helped strengthen my decision-making and approach to developing my practice in an ethical and sustainable way.”

PLI was created to address a persistent gap in the field: clinicians are expected to operate as ethical leaders without receiving structured training in ethics-centered decision systems, sustainable workload models, and non-exploitative leadership practices.
