Meet Ben Leven

Hi, I’m Ben Leven and I am an integrative psychiatric nurse practitioner in Tennessee. I help adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, and mood disorders to take charge of their lives by offering personalized, integrative treatment that gets to the root of the problem.

I had previously been a mechanical engineer, and my own experience earlier in life motivated me to provide care to others. Plus I really enjoy talking to people! I very much enjoy working through small details like exercise, diet, supplements, sleep hygiene and more with patients to improve their lives without using more medication.

I first worked at a mental health clinic and while the work was rewarding, I quickly recognized the pitfalls of an insurance-based system and the time constraints that limit the provider-patient relationship. I wanted to offer my patients more time, and more holistic treatment modalities than just medication, which is why I started Restore Psychiatric Care.

Working outside of the insurance reimbursement system enabled me to provide highly personalized and integrative care to my patients. My goal is to enhance your quality of life by creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific symptoms, and ultimately leads to a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life and makes you feel better as quickly as possible but with the minimum amount of medication needed to achieve that goal.

I provide a welcoming and supportive environment that embraces the diverse needs of the LGBTQIA+ community, ensuring inclusive mental health care.

I offer the flexibility of both online and in-person appointments. For in-person sessions, kindly note that these are organized exclusively by invitation. Please don't hesitate to contact me to arrange an appointment at your convenience.
