As psychologists, we are witnessing the expansive research supporting psychedelic-assisted therapy (PaT) as an effective tool for treatment-resistant conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Although showing signs of promise, many professionals have not taken that step further to actually integrate this therapy into their own practice. Why the hesitation?

In this live, podcast-style webinar, Dr. Mitch Colp will be speaking with Reverdi Darda, a Registered Nurse and the CEO of ATMA CENA, about:

• What is psychedelic-assisted therapy and how is it conducted?
• Who could benefit from this type therapy?
• What training, support, and regulatory considerations are involved?
• Where do we start?

If you are unable to join live, the recording will be available for 12 months.

Those who view the live or recorded webinar will be eligible to obtain continuing education credits. Earn 1 Continuing Education (CE) credit from the Canadian Psychological Association for attending this event. 

Whether you’re just starting to explore the idea or already thinking about how to evolve your practice, this conversation is meant to be open, honest, and grounded in both clinical insight and practical application.

Learning Objectives

1. Gain an overall understanding of PaT and how it functions by analyzing current PaT cases with a focus on ketamine therapy.
2. Identify and assess client suitability, recognize ideal clinical profiles, and explore how PaT can serve as a safe alternative for traditional treatments.
3. Discover how psychologists can safely and effectively integrate PaT into their practice with a full understanding of the four pillars:
   - Robust Training
   - Ethical Safeguards
   - Regulatory Compliance
   - CoCare Model (integration without disrupting continuity of care)

Who Should Attend

• Registered Psychologists or Psychotherapists in private or group practice
• Therapists looking for innovative, evidence-based tools for treatment-resistant clients
• Clinicians interested in integrating PaT as an extension of their current practice
