Trish Ring, Ph.D.

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.
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 in 1996. She taught at the University of Florida and at Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, before establishing a solo practice as a Tennessee Licensed Psychologist. Her continuing education includes extensive training with the Memphis Jung Seminar as well as certification as a Master Coach and as a specialist in Equine-Assisted Coaching.
