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 Lakeland

Finding the right therapist for postpartum care in Lakeland starts with identifying a licensed provider who has experience with perinatal mental health. Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are among the most common complications of pregnancy, and working with a provider who understands these conditions can make a meaningful difference. Look for a therapist or psychiatrist with experience in evidence-informed approaches for postpartum mental health, and ask a qualified provider which type of care may be appropriate for your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can also discuss general treatment options alongside talk therapy and help you decide on next steps.

Lakeland and the surrounding Polk County area have a range of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can be time-consuming as a new parent. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, someone with a specific therapeutic approach, or a provider close to your neighborhood. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in Lakeland can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, 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.
