When I came to see Tricia, I wasn’t in the best place. I was going through a bad break up and had some pretty terrible crutches. We deep dived into all sorts of problems and struggles and through hard work I’ve become a better and more confident version of me. Tricia is beyond a good therapist, she truly cares for her patients. She listens and is attentive and celebrates wins that life gives you. I feel safe and protected but not coddled, and she helps make it easier to take on the work myself, because the change has to come from me. She makes it easy to believe I can get there and is the perfect support in the journey to better myself. Can highly recommend her because thanks to her, I’m a better version of myself and am in a place I never thought I could be.

My name is Tricia Ring. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker or LCSWI am licensed in Indiana with 30 years of clinical professional social work experience. I have a Bachelor's in Psychology then after many years of casework I pursued my Master's in social work. I received both degrees in the state of Connecticut. I moved to Indiana in 2017.
I utilize evidenced based therapy techniques with strong emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have strong background & training in the following: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, Behavior Modification, Problem Solving and Harm Reduction. I have experience in helping clients with Depressive Disorders, Anxiety Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Bi-Polar Disorder.
I have vast experience with individuals from young adult to age 55.

In addition, I have extensive experience with both females, males, non-binary Trans, queer, gay and alternative lifestyles. Their backgrounds vary and came from many different demographics.
Together we will determine the best interventions which will enable you to move along your mental health journey. And utilize humor along the way which I believe is necessary. Your experiences are unique to you alone. We will explore your story together and move towards attaining your clinical goals.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Patricia is kind, patience and very easy to talk to. She’s an amazing help during times of crisis.
When I came to see Tricia, I wasn’t in the best place. I was going through a bad break up and had some pretty terrible crutches. We deep dived into all sorts of problems and struggles and through hard work I’ve become a better and more confident version of me. Tricia is beyond a good therapist, she truly cares for her patients. She listens and is attentive and celebrates wins that life gives you.

She is super amazing I couldn’t ask for a better person in my corner
Professional with care, challenges perspective in a non-combative way, and is completely neutral on all items shared. She’s why I keep coming back!
Tricia has helped me deal with my anxiety and helped me feel comfortable sharing with her through our conversations.
She has a way of making you understand what you can do differently without letting you feel it's your fault for not doing it that way to begin with. I feel safe and mentally well with her.
My therapist has helped me tremendously just in the past two months or so since we started meeting. I am seeing so much growth that I didn't expect. She has truly been a life saver and I'm so grateful.
She has restored my faith in therapy <3 I now understand how it helps people. She has been especially helpful and understanding of my trauma and what I would like to work towards.
Tricia is great. She is the third therapist I have had and has been the best one!
I love working with Tricia, she understands me & gives me really great advise. She makes me feel like I have someone on my side.
She is very attentive and can lock in on what the underlying issues are fairly quickly.
My therapist is amazing, very helpful, thoughtful, and understanding. I look forward to each appointment and she is helping me towards a better state of mind. Thank you so much!
I’ve only had a few sessions with Tricia, but the thing is I actually feel like I’m being seen. She’s not only genuinely kind but I never feel judged, she’s so open to me and my lifestyle and she genuinely cares about me. She’s honestly amazing and I appreciate her and the time she puts into the time we talk and outside of it she always responds. I would recommend her to anyone tbh
