We are pleased to offer training at two levels:

Part A: Foundational Knowledge

Our foundational knowledge course is developed in collaboration with Psychedelics Today and is tailored to individuals seeking to establish a solid theoretical understanding from the ground up.

9-week live online course: Navigating Psychedelics Australia

Enrollments are open now. We currently offer a 20% discount for those wishing to enrol in this course. Just contact us to let us know you wish to enrol, and we will share with you a unique discount code.

Part B: Clinical Skills Intensive

Building upon the foundation course or as a starting point for those already possessing some fundamental knowledge, our Clinical Skills Intensive is an immersive program designed to hone your therapy delivery abilities. It mirrors the intensive course structures used in research settings, emphasizing crucial elements such as:

  • Set, setting, preparation, and integration sessions

  • Safety and risk management

  • Addressing challenging experiences and obstacles

  • Screening and assessment

Recognizing that real-world therapy differs from research contexts, we also focus on adjunctive therapy before and after the psychedelic experience and integrating these practices into your existing work. Additionally, our curriculum encompasses various psychedelic medicines commonly used in clinical settings.

The in-person course is for qualified clinicians operating in the mental health field. Ideally, applicants should possess a minimum of three years of experience in delivering psychotherapy under supervision. Please note that there will be a thorough screening process for all applicants.

We enthusiastically welcome individuals interested in forming therapy partnerships or small teams aiming to deliver psychedelic therapy collaboratively.

Prepare yourself for a transformational journey into the world of Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy with PIA.
A new paradigm in mental health treatment lies ahead.
