Dr. Bryce Kaye is the founder and director of Allied Psychological Services in Cary, N.C.  He earned his doctorate in personality psychology from the University of Illinois.  His first research focused on the phenomenon of emotional reactance to the elimination of freedom.  Early in his career he authored and directed federal research on predicting the outcome of outpatient alcoholism treatment.  He was Director of Outpatient Services for Wake County Alcoholism Treatment Center from 1977 to 1983.  In 1984, Dr. Kaye founded Cary Counseling Center that later incorporated into Allied Psychological Services. Over his 40 years of practice, Dr. Kaye has treated thousands of clients with individual psychotherapy and thousands more in couples counseling.  He is certified in EMDR psychotherapy (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) for treating psychological trauma, is on the research committee of the EMDR International Association and has published on the psychophysiology underlying EMDR. Based on his knowledge of psychophysiology, Dr. Kaye has evolved numerous treatment protocols for healing trauma and unconscious schemas, raising level of consciousness, strengthening internal boundaries and repairing marriages. In 2008 he authored his book The Marriage First Aid Kit that explains relationship dynamics and how to heal underlying damage in intimate relationships.  Dr. Kaye and his wife currently live part-time on their sailboat in coastal North Carolina where they perform marriage interventions for couples who fly in from across the country.  Their separate corporation is named “Love Odyssey.” He still maintains a practice treating individuals and couples at Cary Counseling Center.
