In this episode, we’re speaking with Ginelle Krummey, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and LIMB grad based in North Carolina.  

In today’s interview with Tiffany, Ginelle talks about how she continued to move forward even after she got off of insurance panels and lost about half of her caseload.  

While her husband was also leaving his job. With a baby on the way.  

At this point, many therapists would have given up, gone back, said it was impossible and returned to the relative security of a soul-crushing system—but not Ginelle.  

Ginelle was determined to move forward and create the life that she ACTUALLY wanted for herself, a life that was in integrity with who and how she wanted to be.  

Here’s her story. 

In this episode, Ginelle shares: 

How Ginelle decreased her hours and set a schedule that worked for her (which included leaving ALL insurance panels); 

Three signs that made it clear that she needed to make a massive shift to her schedule and practice, even as other life transitions were happening; 

The “afterlife”—what happened after she made these changes and how it prepared her for the world events that were to come; 

Three pieces of strategic advice around shifting your mindset to help you be in integrity with who and how you want to be (even if it’s scary); 

How she and her community were impacted by Hurricane Helene; 

How building a life and practice that truly supports her helped her navigate the hurricane and its aftermath with resilience, ease, and the ability to support others.

I’m looking for 3 therapists who are ready to break free from the low fee trap. Find me on Instagram @leaninmakebank and DM me the word “POWER."

When therapists talk to me about needing to give back and be accessible, I often think about my own experience as a sliding scale client.

I know what it feels like to pay a sliding scale fee. I know what it means to need help and not be able to afford it.

But being a sliding scale client has its dark sides.
