Hi there! I'm glad you found your way here.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just plain exhausted, you are not alone. A lot of the
people I work with describe a similar experience: on the surface, life looks manageable, but
internally, it is a different story. Thoughts that won't quiet down, energy that's hard to find, or
stress from past experiences that never quite resolved themselves.
You don't have to keep carrying that on your own.
I work with patients navigating a wide range of mental challenges, from anxiety, ADHD,
depression, and mood disorders to trauma, life transitions, burnout, and beyond. My goal is
straightforward: to help you feel more like yourself again, and more in control of your day-to-day life.
Hi, I’m Asajnae Mercadel, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience in healthcare. My background in nursing has given me a strong foundation in understanding both the physical and emotional aspects of patient care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and sleep-related concerns. I’m passionate about creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being open and honest. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered in your mental health journey.

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.
You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.
I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.
I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.
Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Texas
Searching for psychiatrists in Texas starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy and related support. Both can be valid entry points depending on your needs. People often look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management. Across a large state like Texas, the right fit may vary by region, so review each psychiatrist’s training, listed specialties, and care focus before you book.
In Houston, Dallas, Austin, and other parts of Texas, your search may include both in-person and virtual psychiatry options. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, appointment format, and scheduling flexibility can matter as much as location. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you understand whether a psychiatrist focuses on evaluation, ongoing medication management, therapy, or a combination of services.
Psychiatric care in Texas can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and browse Texas psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Texas and see your estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking.
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.
