Dr. Trish Ring has been practicing psychotherapy since 1990 and has reinvented her practice many times – as a professor, consultant, radio host, author, and coach.  Her career has taken her on many paths of discovery and magical happenings, and she now devotes her time to coaching executives, workshop participants, and fellow coaches at Blue Star Ranch in Cashiers, NC, where she and her husband, Carl, have established the premier equine coaching facility in the American Southeast.

Dr. Ring, a Phi Beta Kappa and a National Merit Scholar, is a graduate of Southern Methodist University and the University of Florida, where she received her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology.  She taught at the University of Florida and at Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, before establishing a solo practice as a Tennessee Licensed Psychologist.  She devoted three post-doctoral years to study and training analysis with the Memphis Jung Seminar. She is a Certified Master Martha Beck Coach and a Certified Equus Coach, trained by Koelle Simpson.

Dr. Ring specializes in leadership training, relationship coaching, and group facilitation. Her private clients are men and women who are typically over-achievers, now in the process of individuation – people who are adept at taking on the demands of their social, familial, and work cultures, but who feel a need to break away from those demands in order to live the life they’re meant to live….

An accomplished educator and a sophisticated coach, Trish loves to work with peers to uncover the beauty of experiential learning with her beloved herd of horses.
