Certificate Programs
Certificate Programs are designed to prepare licensed clinicians to provide Psychedelic-assisted Therapy or Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration in the course of their clinical practice. The Certificate is not a license or authorization to practice therapy in itself, but a course of study covering key elements and experiences, providing exposure to mentors and leaders in the field, and introducing participants to a peer group for ongoing professional support and development.
The programs include Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy.
