Hi there! I’m Kimberly Davis-Biggs, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) & owner of Elevating Mindsets Mental Health Services PLLC dedicated to helping individuals find balance, healing, and hope. With a compassionate, patient-centered approach, I provide comprehensive mental health care for adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, & mood disorders. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported. Together, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that includes medication management and supportive therapy as needed to help you achieve emotional well-being & long-term stability.
Hi. I'm Kris Wegman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have decades of experience working with clients with various behavioral health concerns, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders. I have had the privilege of working with Veterans for most of my career but have worked on the Civilian side, too.
I'm April — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked alongside people in some of the hardest chapters of their lives: crisis moments in emergency settings, school hallways with overwhelmed teenagers, and outpatient rooms where families were trying to figure out how to be in the same room again. That range of experience has shaped how I work. I know that anxiety looks different in a 15-year-old than it does in a 40-year-old. I know that couples who love each other can still feel like strangers. And I know that healing isn't linear — it takes time, trust, and the right support.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and marital concerns, family conflict, parenting challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. For clients who want it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that weaves Christian beliefs and values into the therapeutic process — thoughtfully, ethically, and at your pace.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship stress, or family boundaries? I support adults with anxiety, depression, OCD, postpartum concerns, trauma, PTSD, grief, substance use, and relationship challenges. I especially support daughters of narcissistic mothers and people navigating estrangement or no contact. I welcome all races, genders, identities, LGBTQIA+ clients, and neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD or ADD. As a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience, I offer warmth, empathy, and respect for how identity and life shapes what you carry.
I have 26 years of experience dealing with individuals, couples, families in therapy. We will work together to develop plans that are unique and right for you.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 8 years working in behavioral health, offering personalized care through telehealth for adults. I treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, mood changes, and life stressors with a strengths-based approach, focusing on both symptom relief and personal growth. My goal is to provide medication management with supportive therapy in a collaborative, compassionate way. Together, we’ll create a plan that helps you find clarity, balance, and confidence. If you’re ready to take the next step, reach out today. I look forward to connecting with you.

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.

Appointment Guide:
• New clients: 40-minute initial assessment

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.
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. Reaching out for therapy can be difficult, whether you are struggling with a specific concern, navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling like things have become harder to manage. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself and feel comfortable exploring what brings you to therapy.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience working with children, adolescents, college students, adults, and older adults. I work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. I have specialized expertise in trauma across the lifespan, reproductive and perinatal mental health, neurodiversity, ADHD, and autism-related concerns. I also provide play therapy for children, using developmentally appropriate approaches to help children express themselves, build coping skills, and work through difficult experiences.
I particularly enjoy working with college students and professionals who are balancing demanding careers, relationships, family responsibilities, and the many expectations of adult life. I have worked with educators, college professors, healthcare providers, attorneys, government employees, and other professionals who may be accustomed to caring for others while finding it difficult to make space for themselves.
