About Mind Medicine Clinic
Mind Medicine Clinic is an empowering space for people with complex, layered identities who don't conform to mainstream ideas of what mental health care should look like.
We recognize the limitations of traditional mental health paradigms, and we do things differently. Using an intersectional lens, we look beyond the diagnosis to affirm the whole person.
We prioritize your vision of your own mental health. Whether that means expanding consciousness, healing from trauma, cultivating self-awareness, or simply finding language for what you've always felt — we're here for all of it.
We're located on unceded Tiwa territory in our adopted home of Albuquerque and offer virtual sessions throughout New Mexico.

Dr. Rebeccah Lyles
DNP, PMHNP-BC
Rebeccah (she/her) is the founder of Mind Medicine Clinic and a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (DNP, PMHNP-BC) with 8 years of nursing experience, including work with the Indian Health Service and inpatient psychiatric care.Before entering the field, Rebeccah spent 15 years as a hairstylist, holding space for others long before she began prescribing medications. She's also a former rape crisis counselor who sat with countless difficult stories. This helped her come 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.And she has a deep 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 people 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. She also recognizes the profound ways these forces shape mental health. Rebeccah believes people are evolving, not broken, and that healing deserves a space that understands the difference.

Our Approach
At Mind Medicine Clinic, we take an intersectional approach to mental health by looking at the whole person, not just the symptoms.
We recognize that patriarchy, white supremacy, ableism, and capitalism shape mental health in profound ways. We don't ignore that. We work with it.
Our neurodiversity-affirming therapy and psychiatric care center the wisdom, experience, and identity of every person who walks through our door — virtually or in person. We create space for self-reflection, healing from trauma, and expanding consciousness.
We believe healing is deeply personal — shaped by who you are, where you come from, and how you move through the world. Our goal is to create a space that honors and empowers you.

We take an intersectional, neurodiversity affirming approach — recognizing that identity, lived experience, and the systems around us all shape how we think, feel, and heal.
