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 are located on unceded Tiwa territory in our adopted home of Albuquerque and offer online sessions throughout the state of New Mexico.

About Rebeccah
Rebeccah’s personal strength as a practitioner is helping you reframe your experiences to minimize shame and maximize self-confidence. In doing this, you gain a fresh perspective that helps you release unhelpful thoughts and emotions and experience your life with greater self-compassion and joy. A session gives you the therapeutic space to explore your identity and values to reveal your most authentic self. This process fosters self-efficacy and the ability to face challenges with more resilience and confidence.
Intersectional feminism serves as the foundation of Rebeccah’s practice and addresses the interconnected nature of power structures, privilege, and identity. This approach emphasizes critical thinking and encourages you to question and challenge the systems that influence your life experiences. You are not broken. You are on a journey of growth and self-improvement, which involves recognizing and addressing the aspects of your life that no longer work for you and embracing what does. Through this process, you develop your sense of agency which improves your relationship to yourself and others.
