Psychedelic therapy has been a growing field of practice and study in the West since the early 1960s, when first lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), then other psychedelics became widely available to a new generation of researchers, clinicians, and laypeople. The number of professionals and organizations that offer training programs in psychedelic psychotherapy is also growing. The demand for specialists who can safely administer psychedelics to patients with treatment-resistant conditions such as anxiety or depression is on the rise. Unfortunately, traditional universities and training programs don’t yet offer graduate or postgraduate degrees in psychedelic therapy—but it’s easier than ever to become one! Whether you have your sights set on becoming an independent psychedelic therapist, or are interested in working at one of the many established clinics and research institutions that provide this care, read on for tips on how to start your own career in psychedelic psychotherapy.
