Hi, my name is Haley, and I am a therapist who is passionate about creating a safer, affirming, supportive space for healing. I specialize in trauma-focused CBT, art therapy, and a human-centered, systems-based approach, always through an anti-racism and anti-oppression lens. I have experience working with kids, teens, and adults navigating complex trauma, abuse, LGBTQ+ identities, sexuality, sex work, and substance use recovery. Whether through talk therapy or creative approaches like art, I tailor sessions to what feels right for you. Healing is a journey, and I am here to walk alongside 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.

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
