Beth Bogdon
LPC
Background & Training
I’ve always been drawn to learning—when something sparks my curiosity, I dive in completely.
I read endlessly, take classes, and immerse myself in ideas that challenge and expand my understanding. My formal education includes a Master’s degree in Counseling from Lewis & Clark College, but my learning has extended far beyond the classroom.
Jungian psychology, in particular, resonated with me because it doesn’t see people as broken or in need of fixing. Instead, it views the psyche as always communicating—through dreams, patterns, and emotions—guiding us toward wholeness. This perspective deeply shaped the way I work. Through one-on-one mentorship with a Jungian therapist, extensive reading, and specialized trainings, I’ve spent years exploring the depths of human experience and the many paths to transformation.
Equally important is my commitment to understanding the cultural and social context in which we all live.
I work with people of all races, gender identities, ages, sexual orientations, and physical abilities, recognizing that each person's journey is shaped by their unique lived experience. I'm dedicated to ongoing learning about my own biases and privileges, and to using my position thoughtfully and ethically in service of supporting others to live and thrive in their full experience.
What Brings Me to This Work
For much of my life, I believed that pushing through pain—both physical and emotional—was the only way forward. Living with chronic pain taught me how to endure, but it also disconnected me from myself. I tried to solve it by thinking my way through, analyzing every possibility, searching for the right answer. But healing didn’t come from figuring it out—it came from learning to listen.
Through my own experience in therapy and spirituality, I discovered the power of deep attention, of turning toward what was already present rather than forcing change. This practice of slowing down, of allowing the body and unconscious to speak, has shaped not only my own healing but also the way I work with clients.
I’m continually moved by the courage and wisdom I witness in those I work with. Whether exploring dreams, bodily sensations, or patterns in daily life, I’ve found that transformation happens through a growing connection with our inner experience. My work is about helping others build that relationship—with curiosity, patience, and a trust in the unfolding process.
