A curated set of training programs whose graduates appear in credible directories. Integration therapy is the work of making sense of a psychedelic experience in the weeks and months after, and is the single strongest non-drug predictor of outcome in the 2025 meta-analysis.
Why a meta-directory, not a single list. We intentionally do not run a single "vetted" list of individual therapists. Credentials for psychedelic-integration practice are not yet standardized, and any single list would either be too narrow or imply endorsements we can't verify. Instead we point to the established training programs whose alumni directories are the most credible starting points — pair these with state-licensed mental-health credentials (LCSW, LPC, PsyD, PhD, MD/DO, NP) when evaluating a specific therapist.
Fluence is one of the largest psychedelic-integration therapist training programs in the US (8,000+ trained). Their public, searchable directory lists credentialed graduates with profiles, badges, and location filters.
Vetted network of therapists, coaches, and physicians with explicit psychedelic-literate practice; searchable by state, specialty, and insurance status.
One of the earliest formal KAP training programs. Their trainee-network lookup identifies licensed clinicians offering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
Lykos / MAPS-trained clinicians. Because MDMA is not FDA-approved (the August 2024 NDA was rejected), this points to providers trained in the MAPS protocol for expanded-access or future approved use.
MDMA-assisted therapy is not currently a legal clinical service in the US; trained providers are primarily in trials and training roles.
General therapist directory, psychedelic-integration filter
The broadest US therapist-search tool. Filter by "Psychedelic integration" as a specialty, plus state, insurance, and modality. Quality of listing varies; verify credentials independently.
Contemplative-psychology-based psychedelic therapy training
In December 2024, the Naropa Center for Psychedelic Studies transitioned into the independent Memoru Center for Visionary Healing Arts. Alumni of the Naropa Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies (2022-2024 cohorts) and the Psilocybin Facilitator Training program represent a contemplative-tradition-rooted community of trained facilitators.
Program link points to the Naropa archive page; current training work continues at Memoru.
Pre/post-session integration coaching, not therapy
Coaching network that pairs clients with integration facilitators. Coaching is not therapy; this is appropriate for non-clinical integration support but does not substitute for a licensed mental-health professional.
Coaches are not licensed therapists; use alongside, not instead of, clinical care when indicated.
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAT) training, Bay Area
Sage Integrative Health (Berkeley/Oakland) runs the Integral Psychedelic Therapy Training program, which covers ketamine-assisted therapy; sister non-profit Alchemy Community Therapy Center runs a seven-week KAT provider training program for licensed clinicians. Graduates span a growing Bay Area KAT provider community.
Integration is not a vague spiritual concept. In the published research it refers to a set of structured practices in the 1–12 weeks after a psychedelic session that help a participant translate the experience into durable behavior change. The Bathje et al. (2022) framework operationalizes it across seven domains — cognitive, emotional, physical, relational, spiritual, behavioral, and social/environmental. See the full integration therapy guide for the framework in detail.
Questions worth asking a prospective therapist
What is your training? Specific program + year of completion is the answer you want. "I'm experienced with psychedelics" alone is not.
What is your license? Integration therapy should be provided by a state-licensed mental-health professional when it is therapy (as opposed to coaching).
How do you handle my specific medication regimen? Especially SSRIs, SNRIs, lithium, MAOIs, stimulants.
What's your approach to difficult content? Childhood trauma, spiritual crisis, and ego-dissolution distress each benefit from different frameworks.
Session cadence. A common structure is 1–2 preparation sessions, a dosing session (if applicable and legal), then 3–6 integration sessions over 8–12 weeks.
Do you facilitate the dosing session yourself, or refer out? Most US therapists cannot legally provide the dosing session for anything but ketamine.
Red flag: any claim of a specific cure, any push to book expensive group retreats, any pressure to take doses outside a clinical or regulated setting.
