When clients mention psychedelics, you don’t have to feel uncertain.

You’re a skilled, thoughtful clinician—but psychedelic experiences are showing up in therapy faster than training has kept up. You’re not alone. We help licensed professionals cut through hype and confusion, build real clinical competence, and respond with clarity, ethics, and confidence when psychedelics enter the room.

Your path to ethical, confident psychedelic care

At Psychedelic Affirming Education, we understand what it feels like to be a capable clinician encountering the unknown.

We’ve been in the therapy room. We’ve felt the tension between wanting to help and not wanting to overstep.

We know how unsettling it can be when clients bring experiences you were never taught how to hold. We didn’t build this to “create specialists.”

We built it so ordinary, thoughtful clinicians can meet what’s already happening in their work with clarity and care.

This is your roadmap to grounded, ethical psychedelic competency:
  • Clarify what’s in scope - and what isn’t: Unsure how far you can go when psychedelics come up? We help you navigate boundaries with confidence, so you can support clients without crossing ethical or professional lines.
  • Replace uncertainty with structure: Tired of piecing together information from podcasts, social media, and half-relevant trainings? Our courses offer clear, evidence-based frameworks for real therapy-room decisions.
  • Respond without hype or fear: Learn how to talk about psychedelic experiences in ways that are clinically sound, nonjudgmental, and grounded in professional responsibility.
  • Integrate without overhauling your practice: You don’t need a new identity or a new modality. We show you how to add psychedelic competency to the work you already do.
  • Stay aligned with your values: Our approach centers ethics, disability justice, and whole-person care—so your work in this emerging field remains humane, thoughtful, and defensible.

We’re here to walk alongside you - not to rush you, impress you, or sell you a new persona.

To help you feel steady, capable, and clear when psychedelics enter the room.

Are you finding yourself hesitating when psychedelics come up in session - unsure what to say, what’s in scope, or how to respond without doing harm?

You’re a capable, thoughtful clinician.

You know how to hold complexity. But this field is moving faster than most training programs, and suddenly clients are asking questions you were never taught how to answer.

You didn’t sign up to become a psychedelic specialist.

You just want to be competent, ethical, and helpful when this shows up in your work.

Yet without clear guidance, it’s easy to feel stuck between two risks: saying too little and leaving clients unsupported - or saying too much and crossing boundaries you didn’t intend to cross.

Here’s the reality many clinicians are living with:
  • Unclear scope: What’s appropriate to discuss, assess, or support - and what isn’t?
  • Hype everywhere: Conflicting messages from media, clients, and training programs make it hard to know what’s grounded.
  • Training gaps: Most CE courses don't address the real therapy-room moments you’re already navigating.
  • Ethical uncertainty: You want to do this well, without overreach, harm, or stigma.
  • Growing pressure: Psychedelics aren’t “niche” anymore - clients are discussing their experiences and intentions during ordinary clinical work.

It doesn’t have to feel this murky.

Psychedelic Affirming Education gives you a clear, ethical path forward. We offer evidence-based, clinically practical training designed for licensed professionals who want to respond with confidence - without overhauling their practice or stepping outside their roles.

No hype. No gatekeeping. Just grounded education that helps you meet what’s already happening in your therapy room with clarity, care, and professional integrity.

Dr. Addy is the perfect combination of kind, professional, and deeply informed about psychedelic work. He is my go-to resource for friends, clients, and fellow clinicians who want to learn more about integrating plant medicine into our lives and practices. I'm grateful for his dedication to this field and for his generosity in sharing his wisdom!

Trusted by clinicians, facilitators, and students

This short course covers a lot of ground on pretty deep stuff. I found it well organized and manageable. I plan to revisit this course often for a 'booster shot.' It has been a key aspect for understanding who I am and who I can become.
Ervin C., Student
★★★★★ Surrender to Transform
Peter's understanding of the nuances of medicine work and the standards for providing ethical, fair and justice-oriented treatment is clear in this course. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to enrich their ethical awareness and maintain integrity in the sacred practice of medicine work.
Gail N., Licensed Therapist
★★★★★ Ethical Guidelines for Ketamine Clinicians
Dr. Addy is truly one of my favorite teachers I've ever had. Dr. Addy stepped up to educate our cohort about fairly challenging topics and, without exception, addressed these issues with compassion, brilliance, honesty, and integrity. His classes were well loved by both students with no background in mental health work and by students who have been doing it for years. It was an honor to learn from Dr. Addy and I cannot recommend highly enough that you do so!
