Beth Bogdon
LPC
Welcome
We don’t always understand why we feel the way we do—why the same patterns show up in relationships, why certain struggles persist, or why we feel stuck in ways we can’t quite explain. It’s natural to want answers, to try to make sense of it all.
And sometimes, the most honest place to begin is not knowing.
In this work, we don’t rush to make things different. We slow down and listen to what’s here. We make room for what doesn’t yet have clear language. Often, what’s most important begins to reveal itself not through effort, but through attention.
Life’s invitation is often to slow down—even in the most difficult times. When that feels unbearable to do alone, the therapy relationship helps hold the tension, bearing witness as we descend into what is not yet known.
My Approach
I work with clients to cultivate curiosity about their inner experiences. Together, we create an environment where you can safely explore the fullness of who you are - including the parts that may feel uncertain, unwanted, or unknown.
I work by listening to what shows up rather than trying to manage it away. Emotions, dreams, and body experiences are approached as meaningful—not as problems to fix, but as communications from a deeper layer of the self. Together, we slow down enough to feel into what’s being expressed and allow space for it to be known.
Through our work together, you may discover:
New ways of understanding yourself and your experiences
A deeper trust in your own inner knowing
Greater capacity to be with uncertainty and change
Fresh perspectives on long-standing patterns
A more embodied sense of wholeness
The journey of self-discovery unfolds differently for each person. Some clients are drawn to working with dreams and images. Others find meaning through exploring sensations and felt experiences. Many discover that transformation happens not through forcing change, but through bringing gentle attention to what is already present.
Shared Practice
Embodied Listening
Recorded Practices
These recorded practices are offered as a quiet invitation into embodied listening. Each session begins with a short orienting reflection, followed by guided embodied practices and time for integration.
This is a space for slowing down and listening inward. Slowing down creates room for the places where we may feel caught, rushed, or pulled by habit to come into awareness. In that slowing, there is an opportunity to come into contact with oneself.
With gentle attention, a deeper presence may begin to emerge—one less driven by thinking, fixing, or figuring things out. This presence is a way of being with oneself as experience unfolds, moment by moment.
The practices include embodied imagination, quiet reflection, and sometimes journaling or drawing—not to analyze or solve experience, but to remain close to what is alive.
The Two Practices
Pair One
What Do I Do?
A practice of meeting urgency and responsibility
This practice explores the familiar question “What do I do?” and the urgency, responsibility, and isolation that often live beneath it. Through embodied listening and gentle attention, the practice offers a way of meeting this question without needing to answer or resolve it.
When Nothing Needs to Be Done
A practice of listening and presence
This practice invites a shift from doing into listening. It offers a way of staying with what is here—sensations, emotions, and experience—as they arise, allowing space for presence and contact without effort or striving.
Pair Two
Love, Part I: The Seeker
An exploration of how love becomes something we pursue, create, or secure. Through guided inquiry and embodied reflection, we begin to notice how our idea of love was formed and how seeking shapes our relationships.
Love, Part II: Love Itself
A contemplative reflection on whether what we have called love was shaped by relationship, and an invitation to explore love beyond effort or striving. Includes guided heart-centered practice and journaling prompts.
Access and Pricing
Each paired offering is $60.
