Who We Are
The Mind Medicine Clinic is a unique space for individuals with complex identities who do not conform to mainstream ideas.
We recognize the limitations of traditional medical and mental health paradigms and use an intersectional lens to address mental health that looks beyond the diagnosis and affirms the whole person.
By offering person-centered psychotherapy and medication management, we prioritize your own vision of your mental health and work towards expanding consciousness, healing from trauma, and cultivating self-awareness. Our approach has the potential to foster deeper healing, growth, and self-empowerment.
We support adults, teens (15+), couples, and families
We are located on unceded Tiwa territory in our adopted home of Albuquerque and offer online sessions throughout the state of New Mexico.

Dr. Rebeccah Lyles, DNP
she/her
Founder • Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner • Human First
Rebeccah is the founder of The Mind Medicine Clinic and a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a deeply human-centered approach. Her path into mental health care wasn’t traditional — she spent 15 years as a hair stylist before entering the field, holding space for others long before she began prescribing medications. Her background also includes work as a rape crisis counselor, where she sat with countless difficult stories and came to understand that healing is rarely linear, never one-size-fits-all, and often far from tidy.
Rebeccah is neurodivergent and a survivor of domestic violence. Her lived experiences — and the unlearning of shame that came with them — profoundly shape her practice. She brings honesty, humor, and deep empathy into her work, holding a strong respect for each person's unique journey.
For those who have never quite felt at home in traditional mental health spaces, Rebeccah offers something different: a space that sees and honors the whole person. Her work centers on helping clients reframe their stories rather than rewrite them — turning down the volume on shame and turning up self-trust. She supports people in exploring identity, shedding what no longer serves, and reconnecting with the parts of themselves that are wise, weird, and wildly worthy.
Rooted in an intersectional feminist framework, Rebeccah takes systems seriously — patriarchy, white supremacy, ableism, capitalism — recognizing the profound ways these forces shape mental health. She believes people are not broken, but evolving, and that their healing deserves a space that understands the difference.

Kyla Lyles, LCSW
she/her.
LCSW , Therapist • Advocate • Deep Listener
Kyla is a multi-racial, multicultural, queer, bilingual therapist — and also a proud sister, mama, daughter, and partner. She brings her whole self into the therapy space, drawing on both lived experience and clinical expertise to support clients on their path toward healing, self-understanding, and empowerment.
As a “neurospicy” person herself, Kyla is passionate about working with autistic folks and people across the neurodivergent spectrum. She finds deep joy in supporting clients as they unmask, reconnect with their inner world, and explore their identity in an affirming, judgment-free space. Her work is grounded in the belief that difference is not deficiency, and that being seen for who you really are is a powerful part of healing.
It is important to Kyla to offer a space where queerness, fluidity, and expansive identities are not just welcomed — they’re celebrated. She’s attuned to the unique challenges of navigating the world as someone who lives at the intersection of multiple identities, and her work always honors the richness of that complexity.
Kyla helps clients untangle the threads of identity, values, family dynamics, systemic oppression, trauma, and mental health. Together, you’ll sort out what’s still serving you — and what it’s time to release — so you can build a life that feels more rooted, more intentional, and more you.
