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.

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 Denver, CO

Finding addiction therapists in Denver starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, prescription substance concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. As you compare therapists, look for experience with approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, and coordination with medication support when needed. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Denver has many therapists across neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Cherry Creek, LoDo, and surrounding areas, which can make the search easier to start and harder to narrow. Consider whether you prefer an in-person office you can reach by car, transit, or walking, or a virtual appointment that fits your schedule. Recovery can involve changes over time, so it helps to look for a therapist who describes a nonjudgmental approach and experience with harm reduction or substance use care. Reading therapist bios can show how they talk about addiction, what session structure may look like, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Denver 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 starts. Headway helps you find many therapists who accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

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
