Ben Leven, MSN, PMHNP-BC

Integrative Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Online & In-Person
Hello, I am Ben Leven, an integrative psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Tennessee. My mission is to empower adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, and mood disorders to regain control over their lives through tailored, integrative treatments designed to address the root causes of their struggles. My journey into psychiatric care evolved from personal life experience that ignited my passion for providing compassionate care. I am passionate about working on lifestyle changes with you, such as exploring aspects like exercise, dietary choices, supplements, or sleep habits, all with the aim of enhancing your life without resorting to excessive medication. My initial experience in a traditional mental health clinic highlighted the limitations of an insurance-based model and the time constraints that hinder the provider-patient relationship. Along with the desire to offer more comprehensive and holistic treatment options, I founded Restore Psychiatric Care. My primary objective is to elevate your quality of life through the development of a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific symptoms, ultimately leading to a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life. I strive to achieve this with the minimal necessary use of medication while ensuring a swift improvement in your well-being. My practice creates a welcoming and inclusive environment, delivering mental health care that is fully affirming and supportive. To accommodate your preferences, I provide the flexibility of both online and in-person appointments. For new clients living in Tennessee, we can discuss your goals during a free 15 minute call. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am passionate about helping individuals achieve sustainable weight loss by addressing the root causes of weight gain. Rather than relying on fad diets or quick fixes, I use a functional medicine approach to identify metabolic imbalances, hormone dysfunction, gut health issues, and inflammation that may be holding you back. In addition to personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies, I offer compounded GLP-1 medications as a tool to support appetite regulation and metabolic health. My goal is to help you lose weight, keep it off, and feel your best—focusing on long-term health, not just the number on the scale. As a rheumatoid arthritis warrior myself, I specialize in helping others battling autoimmune conditions. My focus is on reversing inflammation and addressing the root cause to support lasting healing. Treatment philosophy I believe in compassionate, patient-centered care. Every patient deserves individual attention and personalized treatment plans. I aim to understand each patient's unique story, including their health, lifestyle, and needs. By using the latest research and technology, I create tailored programs that not only address current issues but promote long-term health. Collaboration is key. I work closely with a team of health professionals to ensure comprehensive support. Education is also a priority—I empower patients with knowledge about their health, nutrition, and wellness strategies. Together, we monitor progress, adjusting plans as needed, for the best possible outcomes. Your health journey is my passion.
