Beth Durling and The Agency

 

Beth Durling, MS, CADCII, ICADC, is a nationally recognized consultant, clinician, and spiritual guide with over 15 years of experience leading transformational change. As the founder of The Agency, Beth has guided thousands of individuals, families, and organizations through deep healing and systemic realignment. Her work is rooted in the belief that true transformation happens when we engage the whole system—clinically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.

 

For more than 20 years, Beth has been a force in shifting outcomes across diverse spaces—nonprofit, corporate, and clinical. What started as a passion for helping individuals has grown into a movement that’s impacted families in crisis, executive teams in recovery, and organizations seeking purpose and integrity. The mission has remained clear: to transform lives from the inside out. The impact has been unprecedented, and the feedback from those touched by Beth’s work.

 

Beth’s unique approach blends clinical expertise with deep intuition and spiritually grounded leadership. Her work is not about surface solutions—it’s about building lasting structures that heal, align, and empower people and systems to thrive.

 

My Story:

I began my recovery at 19.

I checked myself into trauma therapy at a young age, and that moment quietly changed the course of my life. I would spend the next 20 years in mental health recovery, under the care of a psychologist, Dr. Shelly Royalty, learning her restorative language of healing—inner child work, spiritual restoration, nervous system repair—and walking hand in hand with a beautiful mentor who helped me come back to life.

 

When my children started school, I began volunteering at a local homeless shelter. I’ll never forget peeking through the window after drop-off and seeing bikes chained to a fence. I thought I’d offer a little time. I never left. What began as a few hours of service turned into a calling. I became the program director, fell in love with 32 men—many of them fresh out of Pelican Bay—and built a life rooted in walking beside those the world may overlook.

I went back to school and became a certified drug and alcohol counselor. Eventually, I opened my own treatment center, which I ran for 10 years. This work—meeting people where they are, disarming shame, advocating for recovery—became the heartbeat of my life. Whether I was parking outside trap houses, praying over people running from treatment, or guiding teenage girls away from eating disorders, I was watching God move. Every day. For decades.

I’ve spent more than 20 years in the field, standing at the intersection of clinical support and spiritual truth—serving those with addiction, mental health struggles, and broken systems. I’ve witnessed miracle after miracle. And I’ve also seen where the field falls short.

 

Even in behavioral health, many programs lack the deeper strategic support and spiritual grounding needed to make lasting change. Families are often forgotten. Staff are under-supported. Leaders feel alone. That’s where The Agency was born: to fill the gap between compassion and structure, between heart and system.

 

I’ve helped treatment centers nationwide build programs that not only heal, but hold. I’ve worked with thousands of individuals and families, through nonprofits, corporate teams, and personal consulting. I’ve watched lives transform, and I’ve seen what’s possible when we get it right.

 

Bottom line: I have had the honor of thousands of encounters with the most beautiful people and for that I am beyond grateful. 

blessings to you..​.
