Andrew Wenner is a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with years of experience helping individuals navigate complex mental health challenges. He brings a rare combination of clinical expertise and personal empathy to every patient interaction. Having lived with anxiety and depression himself, Andrew understands what it feels like to struggle, and what it takes to heal.

Professional Expertise

Andrew has extensive experience treating a wide range of conditions, including depression, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and eating disorders. He spent over six years at the Eating Recovery Center in Denver, providing intensive inpatient care for individuals with eating disorders and comorbid psychiatric conditions. His training also includes work in correctional mental health and community-based clinics, giving him deep insight into diverse patient needs and treatment approaches.

Andrew has training in both psychotherapy techniques and psychopharmacology, with a strong foundation in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). He values collaboration with patients, ensuring they feel empowered in their recovery. His recent clinical work has also included TMS therapy and ketamine treatments for treatment-resistant depression, helping patients find hope when traditional options haven’t worked.

Approach to Care

Andrew’s philosophy is shaped by mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion. He encourages patients to “drop the rope” with unhelpful thoughts and instead move toward what they value most. His calm presence and ability to create a safe, judgment-free space make him a trusted partner for people facing depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.

Personal Connection

What sets Andrew apart is his ability to combine lived experience with clinical skill. He overcame his own crippling anxiety by embracing mindfulness and therapy, something he now teaches patients in their journey toward stability and self-compassion.

When he’s not with patients, Andrew enjoys illustrating artwork for beer labels and albums, playing golf, and exploring fantasy and sci-fi worlds. Patients describe him as kind, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping others feel seen and supported.
