This non-degree certificate is designed to prepare practitioners to work in collaboration with prescribers, clinics and interdisciplinary health care teams if and when regulatory approval is achieved. In many instances, this certificate will serve as a prerequisite for more advanced training, because the future trajectory and guidelines for practicing aspects of psychedelic-assisted therapy are yet to be determined by regulatory bodies, and will vary by region, regulatory agency, and protocol. Naropa’s Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies is an Approved Training Program for Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS) under the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), and as of July 2024, is an Approved Training Program under Colorado’s Natural Medicine Program (NMP) as established by the Natural Medicine Health Act (NMHA). Oregon and Colorado residents interested in becoming licensed facilitators will need to complete additional steps prior to applying with the state, including practicum requirements.To learn more about how this certificate can support your understanding and practice in the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted therapies, please visit this page and see the section on Preparing Practitioners.
