About
Alaska Ogden
My path into this work began long before formal training, rooted in a lifelong fascination with healing, transformation, and the complex relationship between trauma and addiction. What began as a personal journey through emotional and spiritual healing has evolved into a clinical practice grounded in compassion, depth, and integrity.
My approach is non-pathologizing, collaborative, and empowering, guided by the belief that healing is not about fixing what is broken, but remembering what is whole. I support clients in reclaiming their inner narrative, exploring unconscious patterns, and cultivating a more integrated, embodied sense of self.
Story is central to my work. The stories we carry, conscious and unconscious, inherited and self-authored, shape our sense of identity and possibility. Through narrative tracking, somatic inquiry, and imaginal practice, we work together to untangle the knots that keep you stuck and create space for a more alive, authentic way of being.

I served as the Clinical Director at an intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization program for women in Austin for three years, where I provided individual, group, and family therapy, facilitated trauma-attuned psychoeducation, and developed a comprehensive 28-week curriculum integrating depth psychological theory with evidence-based practices for dual diagnosis treatment.
My clinical training includes advanced study in:
-
Complex trauma

Jungian psychotherapy

Substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders
-
Somatic and psychodynamic approaches

Psychopharmacology and neuroscience of addiction
I have worked in harm reduction for over thirteen years, offering education, outreach, and crisis support both locally and internationally. I currently serve on the board of Hill Country Harm Reduction, a Central Texas nonprofit providing peer support, medical care, and harm reduction services at music and community events.
My private practice, Myth & Marrow, is rooted in depth psychology, somatics, and non-pathologizing care. I work with individuals navigating complex trauma, recovery, identity development, spiritual emergence, and meaning-making.
