About Us
Meet Dr. Alex Tice, Founder of Proven Relief Therapy
“My goal isn’t for clients to be in therapy forever — it’s to help them gain the skills they need to live differently.” — Dr. Alex Tice
Dr. Alexander Tice is a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 10 years of experience providing psychological services to children, adolescents, adults, and families. Dr. Tice earned his Doctorate of Psychology in Clinical Psychology from Rutgers University. He completed his Doctoral Internship at Miller Children’s and Women’s Hospital/The Guidance Center in Long Beach, CA, and his Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Dr. Tice specializes in the treatment of anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), repetitive behaviors, and Tourette’s Disorder/Tics, as well as a range of other commonly occurring mental health and behavioral issues (e.g., depression, disruptive behaviors, sports psychology, parenting, etc.). Dr. Tice utilizes evidence-based psychotherapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP). In addition, Dr. Tice has training and experience providing other research-supported treatment approaches: Parent Management Training (PMT), Comprehensive Behavioral Interventions for Tics (CBIT), as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Dr. Tice has extensive training and experience providing Exposure and Response (E/RP), the “gold standard” treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders. His doctoral dissertation research focused on the application of Exposure and Response (E/RP) for the treatment of comorbid Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
As a former college athlete himself, Dr. Tice also enjoys providing sport psychology interventions for children and adolescents participating in a variety of sports. Finally, Dr. Tice always works to integrate a behavioral family systems perspective with all modalities to enhance treatment outcomes. Research and practice show that children and adolescents benefit most when their parents and/or families participate in session.
Dr. Tice sees children, adolescents, and adults for treatment related to anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Tourette’s Disorder/Tics, as well as children, adolescents, and families for those concerns, in addition to behavioral problems such as ADHD and non-compliance.
Prior to moving into private practice, Dr. Tice served as a staff and supervising psychologist at the Child and Family Therapy Clinic at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and directed the Externship Program. As part of his duties, Dr. Tice supervised and taught evidence-based treatments to dozens of emerging clinical psychologists.
Our Philosophy
We believe therapy should offer both understanding and results. That’s why Proven Relief Therapy emphasizes an approach that’s equal parts compassionate and concrete.
We help clients:
-
Understand the patterns fueling anxiety and OCD
-
Face fears through structured, step-by-step exposure work
-
Develop coping tools they can use outside the therapy room
-
Build trust, accountability, and confidence through consistent progress
The work isn’t always easy — but it’s effective. And if you’re ready to commit to the process, you’ll start to see that relief is possible.
Therapy should fit your life — not the other way around. Proven Relief Therapy offers flexible, virtual sessions across 44 states, making specialized care accessible wherever you are. Our concierge-style model ensures responsiveness, care coordination, and communication with schools, psychiatrists, or other professionals as needed.
From the first session, our goal is to create a plan that meets your needs and helps you see measurable progress. You’ll feel supported, but you’ll also be challenged — because that’s where real change happens.
