Women's Issues
Becky Short Davis
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC/MHSP, NCC
Identifying as a woman brings its own set of challenges personally, professionally, and in relationships. Through a feminist approach to therapy, I aim to honor those experiences while supporting you in stepping into your strength, resilience, and the beauty that already exists within you.

Women’s Issues: Navigating the Systemic & the Self
Reclaiming Agency in a High-Demand World
Being a woman in today’s world often feels like an endless exercise in "managed overwhelm." Between the biological transitions of our bodies and the social constructs that demand we be the primary emotional caretakers, peacekeepers, and high-achievers, many women find themselves in a state of chronic burnout. In my practice, I provide a courageous and curious space to untangle your authentic self from the "shoulds" imposed by society, family, and tradition.
The Architecture of the "Woman’s Burden"
We don’t just look at your internal thoughts; we look at the "system" you are operating within. We work together to address:
The Emotional Labor Deficit: Navigating the exhaustion that comes from being the "Chief Emotional Officer" of your family or workplace, leading to a profound sense of shut down.
Identity & Role Transitions: Supporting you through the "big shifts"—motherhood, the empty nest, career pivots, or menopause—where the old map of your life no longer fits the new terrain.
Internalized Perfectionism: Deconstructing the "inner critic" that demands flawlessness, often fueled by social constructs of power and equity.
A Multidimensional Clinical Path
With over 20 years of experience and a PhD in Child and Family Studies, I integrate specialized tools to help you reclaim your vitality:
Attachment & Mutuality: We explore your relationships through the lens of Systems Theory, identifying where a lack of mutuality is draining your "social battery" and triggering rejection sensitivity.
EMDR for Gendered Trauma: We use EMDR to process the "stuck" memories of systemic or personal harm—from workplace bullying to reproductive trauma—that keep your nervous system on high alert.
Spiritual Deconstruction: For women in high-control or traditional spiritual systems, I use my Master of Divinity to help you navigate the disillusionment and trauma that often arise when your identity clashes with institutional "rules."
Holding Space for the "Woman as Healer"
I have a "special love" for working with female therapists, pastors, and leaders. When you are the one holding the world together, who holds you? I provide a confidential, peer-level sanctuary where you can drop the "expert" mask and be a human who is cared for.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Women face unique pressures around identity, caregiving, and cultural expectations. IFS, attachment, and feminist-informed relational approaches help uncover hidden burdens of shame and reclaim empowerment. Somatic, mindfulness, and psychodynamic interventions further support resilience. I bring strong diagnostic skills to clarify overlapping concerns like depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in supporting women through various challenges they face in different stages of life. Whether it's dealing with life transitions, pregnancy/postpartum, managing stress, improving self-esteem, addressing relationship dynamics, or navigating societal pressures, my goal is to empower women to understand and embrace their unique experiences. I use evidence-based therapies such as CBT and mindfulness to help women build resilience, address emotional struggles, and develop healthier coping strategies. I create a compassionate, safe space where women can explore their feelings, build confidence, and work toward achieving personal growth and well-being.
12 Years Experience
Online in Memphis, TN Tennessee
Memphis has among the highest rates of poverty and violent crime in the United States, and its therapists frequently specialize in trauma, PTSD, and the psychological effects of chronic community-level violence and economic stress. The city's African American community — which comprises a majority of the population and carries a rich cultural heritage rooted in blues, soul, and civil rights history — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. Regional One Health and Baptist Memorial Health Care provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of community clinics. Memphis's deep musical identity sustains a creative community with its own distinctive mental health needs around artistic expression, economic precarity, and the weight of legacy.
