Olive Branch, MS 38654
I am excited to begin offering services both in person and virtually in August of 2025 at Selah Counseling Services, LLC in Olive Branch.
I enjoy helping adults and older adolescents struggling with trauma, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment to the unexpected things in life, and more. Often, simply feeling truly and empathically heard, understood, and validated is quite healing on its own. I love to offer these things as well as helping to build tools for grounding and calming, coping, and moving beyond the hurdles. Sometimes this means mastering new skills and sometimes it means learning to let go of what holds us back.

Allison R King
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, RPT
Olive Branch, MS 38654
I offer therapy sessions in-person and online.
I work with children, teens and their families who are struggling with big emotions or challenging behaviors. For some families, it’s anger outbursts: words or reactions so intense they catch you off guard and leave you walking on eggshells. For others, it’s the opposite. Your child shuts down, goes silent, or seems to have disengaged emotionally, and the closeness you once had feels so out of reach. As a parent, you would do anything to help your child, but you're baffled about the best way to handle these hard moments!

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
