Bekah Pogue
AMFT & Certified Spiritual Director
Trained in Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy | Trauma-Informed Care | Attachment-Based Therapy | Grief Recovery Method
I’m Bekah and I’m glad you are here. My humanity, life experiences, and education as a marriage & family therapist trained in spiritually integrated psychotherapy empower me to be an attuned therapist. While I have not experienced all that my clients have uniquely journeyed, I sure am humbled to share in similar struggles and gently guide individuals, couples, and groups toward clarity, health, and embodied healing.
With over twenty years of experience in ministry, hospitality, holding space as a spiritual director and a retreat leader, I bridge these parts into a warm counseling space. Pasture Counseling is where counseling and soul care connect to share in co-suffering (compassion) with my clients including (and not limited to) my own story of grief, depression, life transitions, and spiritual deconstruction and reconstruction. As I’m doing internal work to listen and connect my thoughts, emotions, and body - living integrated and authentic - overflows my passionate invitation with clients to slow down, listen, and attune to themselves and others.
I am deeply grateful for the pain, darkness, and unknowns that have formed my heart and aligned my education, training, and advocacy to sit with others and reassure, “this too shall pass and we will move forward together, one present step at a time.”
If you are looking for an honest, encouraging, and human-centric therapist, my office is open for warmth, tea, and light.

Looking for experiential counseling that cares for your mind, body & soul?
Being human is to know pain and suffering. Oftentimes our greatest struggles serve as the catalyst to what bravely brings us to counseling, and, ultimately healing.
If you are walking through the pain of a stressful relationship, a life transition, an existential crisis, a spiritual struggle, family conflict, trauma, grief, or loneliness, you are not alone.
If you are noticing unhealthy systems, wanting to rediscover your authentic voice, or needing a safe space to process uncomfortable emotions, you are not alone.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or darkness and need trained guidance to experience connection, health, and healing, I am with you.
However you come here, your pain is worth being heard, witnessed, and held with warmth.

“Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into the places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human.”
— Henri Nouwen
