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.

Appointment Guide:

New clients: 40-minute initial assessment

Returning clients: 20-minute follow-up

40-minute follow-ups: provider-approved only based on clinical need

Please email or message me before booking an appointment to ensure availability. Limited appointment times are available, and emailing directly is the fastest way to get started.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tacoma

Finding a postpartum therapist in Tacoma starts with identifying the type of support that fits your situation. Postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and adjustment difficulties are among the most common concerns that bring new parents to therapy. A licensed provider with experience in perinatal mental health — such as a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), licensed clinical social worker (LICSW), psychologist, or psychiatrist — can offer specialized care during this time. Some providers also hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), which signals additional training in this area.

With hundreds of providers practicing across Tacoma, Lakewood, University Place, and surrounding Pierce County communities, narrowing your options can feel like a lot — especially when you're already managing the demands of a new baby. Consider what matters most to you, whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, specializes in a specific postpartum condition, or practices a particular therapy approach like CBT or interpersonal therapy. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before booking.

Therapy in Tacoma can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs for postpartum care. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.

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