Dr. Jeffrey Rings is currently an Associate Professor of Applied Psychology and Counselor Education at the University of Northern Colorado. Dr. Rings received his Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology through the University of Denver and has been a Licensed Psychologist since 2014. He is also licensed through Colorado as Licensed Professional Counselor. Some of his clinical areas of interest includes clinical supervision, crisis intervention, grief and loss, peer counseling, projective assessments, veterans’ issues, and suicide risk assessment and prevention. He has had multiple publications, spoken at many, many conferences, and done so much more.
In this episode, we talk about what makes the UNC grad programs different (and in our biased opinions) better than most, what actually goes into counselor training and what qualities make for a good counselor, suicide risk and how truly prevalent it is, and why you should (or shouldn't) go on to higher education.
