About Ginny
Hi, I'm Ginny — and I believe healing is possible for everyone.
I founded Healing Hope Specialists because I know firsthand that life can get overwhelming, relationships can feel impossible, and the path forward isn't always clear. My work is grounded in the belief that with the right support, every person has the capacity to heal, grow, and thrive.
You don't have to have it all figured out to begin. You just have to take the first step.
— Ginny, Healing Hope Specialists
My Story
My story & approach
I'm a licensed mental health counselor and certified life coach based in Salina, Kansas. I've spent years working with individuals and couples navigating some of life's most challenging moments — from relationship breakdowns and anxiety spirals to ADHD overwhelm and the quiet ache of feeling stuck.
My approach is direct, warm, and deeply practical. I don't believe in sitting in pain longer than necessary. I use the latest research-based tools — including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and strengths-based coaching — to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
I work with you, not at you. Every session is built around your goals, your pace, and your life. Whether you're looking for therapy, coaching, or something in between, I'll meet you exactly where you are.

My Philosophy
What I believe
Healing is not linear
Progress looks different for everyone. I create space for the full complexity of your experience — no timelines, no judgment.
You are the expert on your life
My job is to bring tools, perspective, and support. Your job is to bring yourself. Together we figure out the rest.
Research matters
I stay current on the latest evidence-based approaches so you get the most effective support available — not just what's always been done.
Boldness is part of healing
Real change takes courage. I'll challenge you when it serves you and hold space when you need it — sometimes in the same session.

What clients say
These are real words from real people who trusted the process.
Ginny has a gift for cutting through the noise and helping you see what actually matters. I came in feeling completely lost and left with a real plan — and the confidence to follow it.

Life Coaching Client
I've tried therapy before and it never really clicked. With Ginny it was different from the first session. She's direct, she's warm, and she actually listens. My anxiety is manageable now in a way it never was before.
James T.

We were on the verge of giving up on our relationship. Ginny helped us actually hear each other again. I can't recommend her enough for couples who feel stuck.

As someone with ADHD, I've spent my whole life feeling like I'm failing at being a person. Ginny helped me understand how my brain works and build systems that actually fit my life. Game changer.

The Accelerate Growth program was exactly what I needed. Ginny pushed me in the best way — I left every session with clarity and momentum. Worth every minute.

I was skeptical about virtual sessions but it works just as well. Ginny makes you feel completely at ease. She's the real deal.
