Hello, I’m Allie Bullard, a graduate student in Walden University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology, graduating cm laude, and I’m a proud member of two nationally recognized honor societies – Chi Sigma Iota and The Society for Collegiate Leadership and Achievement. I’m currently beginning my clinical training under supervision at Selah Counseling. My decision to pursue counseling was both personal and intentional, and it was shaped by my belief that genuine understanding can be truly transformative in someone’s life. I consider it an honor to be trusted with someone’s story, and I approach each counseling relationship with empathy, humility, and a profound respect for the individual and their unique journey. My goal is for every person I work with to feel truly seen, supported, and valued. I believe growth happens through connection and I strive to help each person move toward healing and a deeper sense of self-understanding through evidenced-based counseling practices and genuine empathy and compassion.
