Many people come to therapy because something in their relationships isn’t working—conflict that keeps repeating, difficulty feeling close, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Beneath these patterns, there is often something deeper: old wounds, protective strategies, and unmet longings that continue to shape how we show up in the present.

I believe therapy works best when you don’t have to carry everything by yourself. We all carry things with us—our histories, relationships, expectations, losses, responsibilities, and the stories we’ve learned to tell about ourselves. Sometimes the things we’ve learned to carry help us move through life; other times, they become heavier than we realized. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what you’re carrying, and decide what you want to keep, what you might be ready to set down, and what you may need help carrying.

You don’t need to come to therapy with everything figured out. We can start wherever you are and work from there. My role isn’t to tell you what you should do, but to help you understand yourself more clearly, make sense of the patterns that keep showing up, and find a way forward that feels genuinely like your own.

Hi, I’m Becca.

Reaching out for mental health care can feel like a big step. Once you’re here, it shouldn’t have to feel hard. You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what you need. We can figure that out together.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a doctorate in nursing, and I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, life transitions, neurodivergence, and the complicated stuff that doesn’t always fit neatly into a diagnostic box.

I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy. More than anything, I believe good mental health care starts with actually listening to you. I want to know what’s working, what isn’t, what you’ve already tried, and what you want your life to feel like.

You are more than a diagnosis, and your care should feel that way.

Do you feel stuck? Does your mind play the same mental record over and again? Do you know what you "should" do but just can't make yourself do it? Have you tried traditional talk therapy and not gotten the help you needed? I encourage you to try therapies that target the mind-body connection to release yourself from these binds. I offer clients Brain Spotting, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) in addition to traditional talk therapy. These therapies are evidence-based, efficient, and powerfully effective. We are designed to heal but we need help to activate these resources.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Memphis

Searching for OCD therapists in Memphis starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, compulsive routines, and related anxiety. Some therapists offer specialized approaches for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists have specific training in every approach, so it can help to ask a qualified provider about their background. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or experience with intrusive thoughts and compulsions.

Memphis offers a solid range of mental health care options, and the right fit may depend on location, appointment format, and specialty training. In-person sessions may work well if you prefer an office setting near home, work, or school. Virtual appointments can expand your options if a therapist with ERP experience has limited office availability near you. When reviewing profiles, look beyond whether a therapist lists OCD. Read their bio for details on their approach, appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe working with OCD-related concerns.

Therapy in Memphis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lists therapists who are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and area. You can compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
