Living Medicine Institute
Data updated
Asheville, North Carolina-based psychedelic therapy training institute founded in 2019 by board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Signi Goldman and licensed psychologist Dr. Sandra Newes, offering concierge-level ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) training, mentorship, supervision, and community to aspiring psychedelic-assisted therapy clinicians. Living Medicine Institute combines modern neuroscience with ancient healing traditions, provides BIPOC therapist scholarships for underserved communities, and produces the Living Medicine podcast featuring leading psychedelic researchers and clinicians.
Blossom’s read
Living Medicine Institute looks like a small, clinician-facing KAP training outfit with a fairly strong practical bent rather than a broad academic school. Its appeal seems to lie in mentorship, supervision, and community, with founders who are established clinicians and clear emphasis on ethics, trauma-informed care, and relational practice. It probably suits practitioners who want hands-on support and a live community more than those seeking a university-style credential or a formal accreditation pathway.
Who Living Medicine Institute is for
Best suited to licensed mental health and medical professionals who want to add ketamine-assisted psychotherapy skills, case consultation, and supervision to an existing practice. It also appears to suit clinicians who value experiential learning and an ongoing professional community.
Prerequisites
Sources indicate it is aimed at clinical and medical professionals, but I could not confirm a formal licence requirement from the accessible pages. The public material suggests the core audience is already-qualified practitioners rather than the general public.
Accreditation & recognition
I could not find evidence on the accessible pages of formal institutional accreditation. The site presents its offerings as training, certification, supervision, and community resources, but I did not verify any university affiliation, state licence, or CME/CE approval from the sources reviewed.
Cost
The website clearly indicates a mix of free resources, paid community membership, live and online trainings, mentoring, consultation, supervision, and experiential retreats, but I could not verify exact tuition figures from the accessible pages I reviewed. It appears to be positioned as a premium professional training offering rather than a low-cost course.
What you walk away with
Learners appear to walk away with KAP clinical skills, case consultation experience, supervision, and access to a professional network and resource library. The site also frames the pathway as progressing from introductory learning to clinical certification, though I could not independently verify the specifics of any certificate awarded.
