Hi, I’m Dr. Deneice, DNP, MBA, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC. I am a doctoral-prepared, board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and owner of Eden Total Care.

I provide concierge-style virtual psychiatric care for young-feeling adults at any age who are navigating anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, PMDD, ADHD, autism-related concerns, mood symptoms, emotional overwhelm, burnout, and diagnostic uncertainty.

My primary role is psychiatric evaluation and medication management. I also incorporate supportive therapy, life coaching, and holistic guidance when appropriate. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and properly treated — not rushed, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis.

Hi, I’m Bethany Hagy, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about six years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. I earned my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in May 2021.

I work with clients ages 6 through adulthood, supporting a wide range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, impulse control, relationship challenges, and life or career transitions. Whether you’re navigating something specific or just feeling stuck, I aim to meet you where you are.

At the core of my work is the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. I strive to be a voice for those who feel like they don’t have one and a steady presence for those who need someone in their corner.

I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to make therapy as accessible and comfortable as possible.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Richmond, VA

Searching for addiction therapists in Richmond starts with finding care that matches the concern you want support for. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use patterns, cravings, relapse prevention, and behavioral concerns. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction-informed care, or coordination with medication-assisted treatment. Some people may also work with a psychiatrist or other prescriber as part of their care team.

Richmond offers both local office-based care and virtual appointments, giving you more ways to find a therapist who fits your schedule and preferences. As you compare options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Recovery can move at different speeds, so it helps to look for a therapist who describes a nonjudgmental style and experience with harm reduction or substance use care. Reading therapist bios can show how they talk about addiction, what populations they support, and what a first session may include.

Addiction counseling in Richmond can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find Richmond therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, and see estimated session costs before you book. From there, you can compare therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and offer the appointment format that works for you.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
