Dr. Rebecca Lenz, APRN, DNP, PMHNP-BC, AGNP-BC, KAP-C, PAT-C
Founder and Provider at Merkaba Integrative Psychiatry

Dr. Rebecca Lenz, "Becca", is a dedicated and compassionate psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with over two decades of experience in healthcare. She holds dual board certifications as an Adult-Geriatric Nurse Practitioner (AGNP-BC) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), as well as a Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP). Her clinical expertise spans primary care, traditional psychiatry, and innovative mental health treatments, making her uniquely qualified to address a wide range of patient needs.

Philosophy of Care:
Becca believes that healing occurs when the mind, body, and spirit are in harmony. Her care philosophy is grounded in a holistic and integrative approach that values each patient as a whole person rather than a diagnosis. She recognizes that every individual’s mental health journey is unique, shaped by personal experiences, beliefs, and aspirations.

Her practice is guided by the following principles: 

• Patient-Centered Care: Becca prioritizes collaboration with her patients, ensuring their voices are heard and their treatment goals respected. She creates customized care plans that align with each individual’s needs and values.
• Whole-Person Healing: Addressing more than just symptoms, Becca incorporates spiritual, nutritional, and non-traditional approaches into her practice to foster deep, lasting healing.
• Compassion and Empathy: Patients often feel overwhelmed or overlooked in traditional mental health care settings. Becca strives to create a safe, welcoming space where every patient feels supported and understood. 
• Innovation and Evidence-Based Practice: Combining cutting-edge treatments like Ketamine-assisted therapy with traditional modalities, Becca stays at the forefront of mental health care while maintaining a strong foundation in evidence-based practices.

Innovative Expertise:
Dr. Lenz is trained in advanced treatments, including Ketamine-assisted therapy and psilocybin-assisted therapy (pending legalization in Minnesota). She is actively completing her Psilocybin Facilitator Certification in Colorado and Oregon, preparing to expand access to this promising treatment modality. She also is completing certification for nutritional psychiatry to be able to intertwine this into her care, recognizing the profound impact diet and physical health can have on mental well-being.

A Message from Becca:
“I believe mental health care should be as unique as the individuals seeking it. My mission is to provide a safe and transformative space for healing, where patients feel empowered to achieve their goals. By integrating traditional and non-traditional therapies, we can address the root causes of mental health challenges and create a path toward meaningful, lasting wellness.”
