Psychedelic integration specialists
This list may be helpful for those who are seeking help from psychedelic integration providers with specialist training in psychedelic-assisted therapy. The following specialists have all had some contact with the project, and have agreed to have their information shared. We hope in time to turn this list into a more extensive directory.
This directory is an informational resource only. Practitioners listed are independently responsible for their own professional practice, regulatory compliance, and client care. Users are responsible for determining whether a practitioner is suitable for their circumstances.
