About Dr. Judy Krings
Known as “Dr. Spunk” and the “Uniquely Human Coach,” I am not your usual coach! Unconventional, zany, and warmly passionate, I wholeheartedly believe you are special. Within your mind, heart and soul, you have the capacity to accomplish whatever you want, finding gratefulness and joy in your journey.
After living in three countries and five states, I landed in Wisconsin and for over thirty years, I have called it home. Now, I joyfully add country four, as Puerto Vallarta, MX, is my winter haven. Yes, it is magnificent coaching in this jungle mountaintop paradise overlooking beautiful Banderas Bay and the glistening Pacific.
My Professional Career Is Sprinkled With Diversity.
As founder of my own business, Riverhill Psychological Associates, I had the opportunity to be a generalist. You name the life circumstance, and I bet I helped a client tackle it. Clinical challenges kept me on my toes as I dealt with toddlers, tweens, teens, adults, and wise elders.
I have been a learning disabilities teacher, drug and alcohol counselor and supervisor, business consultant, author, college instructor, and a success and leadership seminar leader. I love media and have been an international, national, and local radio talk show and TV host.
As a clinical psychologist, I have consulted for a myriad of agencies, businesses, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, the military, medical and dental clinics, and hospitals.
Specifics about my education, career, and myriad of affiliations can be found at LinkedIn. As a personal and professional coach, I am proudly MentorCoach trained and International Coach Federation certified.
