Becky Short Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC/MHSP, NCC
Stress is something we all experience, and it’s often a reason people seek support in therapy. Even when you try to relax, your mind and body may stay on high alert, which can lead to burnout and the feeling that you just can’t keep up. In therapy, we’ll work together to identify your main stressors and develop practical, personalized strategies to reduce anxiety and help you feel more grounded.

Stress: From Constant Pressure to Systemic Calm
Moving Out of Survival Mode and Back into Your Life
Stress is often minimized as a "part of life," but when it becomes chronic, it is a physiological and systemic crisis. It is the feeling of being permanently "on," where the minor inconveniences of life trigger a massive internal overwhelm. In my practice, we don’t just look at your "to-do" list; we look at the systemic and neurological roots of why your body has stayed in a state of high alarm.
The Architecture of Overwhelm
Chronic stress isn't just about having "too much to do"—it is about a nervous system that has lost its way back to safety. Together, we explore:
The Burnout Cycle: Addressing the "adrenal fatigue" and emotional exhaustion that come from living in the "gap" between your resources and your responsibilities.
The "Fawn" & "Freeze" Responses: Understanding how your stress might manifest as people-pleasing (fawning) to keep the peace, or a total shut down (freeze) when things get too heavy.
Demand Avoidance: Identifying how chronic stress can lead to a "rebellious" brain that avoids even simple tasks as a desperate bid for autonomy.
A Clinical Approach to Regulation
With over 20 years of experience, I use a multidimensional framework to help you lower the "baseline" of your stress:
Somatic Regulation: We focus on the "gut-brain axis" work to help your body physically exit the stress response.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "Manager" parts of you that believe if you stop being stressed, everything will fall apart. We work to build trust so these parts can finally soften.
Systems Theory & Power: We acknowledge the external stressors—social inequity, workplace toxicity, and family dynamics—that are not "in your head," but are real systemic pressures that require boundaries rather than just "coping."
The "Healer's" Burden
I have a specialized focus on the unique stress of therapists, pastors, and medical professionals. When you are the "sturdy container" for everyone else’s crisis, your own system often pays the price in secret. I provide a confidential sanctuary to address the secondary trauma and professional pressure that leads to systemic collapse.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with working professionals who are carrying a lot on their shoulders and are starting to feel the cost. Many of the people I see work in high-responsibility environments such as medicine, tech, or other fields where there is constant demand and very little true off-time. From the outside, you may look calm, competent, and reliable. Inside, your mind may not turn off, your sleep may be disrupted, your body may feel tight or wired, or you may notice yourself snapping at people you care about. You may be the one others turn to in crisis, at work or at home, with almost no space where you get to set anything down.
Stress in this context often looks like living in constant problem-solving mode, feeling responsible for how things turn out, and having a hard time resting even when you are exhausted. You may be juggling intense professional expectations, long hours, and complex personal or family dynamics, with a sense that you cannot drop any of the pieces. Your body may be registering this through headaches, tension, fatigue, or a sense of being constantly “on,” while your mind keeps telling you to just keep going. It can be hard to know what you need when other people are so used to needing you.
In our work together, we make room for the part of you that has learned to function under pressure and to keep going no matter what. We look closely at what is driving your stress, how it is affecting your body, mood, and relationships, and the expectations you are carrying for yourself and your work. This is a confidential space where you do not have to be the strong one, where you can lay things down, be honest about how hard it feels, and begin to find a way of living that is more sustainable for you.
