United States
2 Trials
Portland Psychotherapy is a Portland, Oregon clinic, research, and training center that integrates psychedelic science into evidence-based clinical practice, conducting clinical trials of MDMA-assisted therapy for social anxiety disorder and offering psychedelic integration services. Their distinctive model funds peer-reviewed research through clinical revenue, resulting in exceptionally well-trained therapists in psychedelic-assisted care.

Blossom’s read
Portland Psychotherapy looks less like a generic course vendor and more like a research-led clinic that also teaches from its own practice. Its psychedelic training appears best suited to clinicians and other professionals who want evidence-based, ACT-informed psychedelic work rather than a spiritually led or retreat-first model. The lineage is unusually strong for the field, with active research, MAPS-linked MDMA work, and instructors who are established names in ACT and psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Who Portland Psychotherapy is for
Best for licensed clinicians, trainees, and mental health professionals who already value evidence-based psychotherapy and want applied psychedelic education grounded in research and clinical practice. It is less obviously aimed at the curious public or people seeking a consumer-facing retreat.
Prerequisites
For some psychedelic-related hiring and training pathways, Portland Psychotherapy states a strong grounding in evidence-based therapy and, in one posting, licensure or Oregon license-eligibility for clinicians. For professional education, it says its TRIPS webinars and workshops are for mental health professionals or students interested in psychedelic-assisted therapy; no universal formal prerequisite is stated on the pages found.
Accreditation & recognition
The site clearly offers workshops, classes, and a monthly TRIPS webinar for professionals, but the pages found do not clearly state CE/CME accreditation for the psychedelic offerings. It does note that associates can attend training events free of charge, and that some staff are MAPS-trained or approved consultants in MDMA-assisted therapy.
Cost
Pricing was not clearly published on the pages found. The site does say its clinic therapy may be insurance-covered in some cases, and that training events can be free for associates or fellows, but no general tuition figure for psychedelic courses was located.
What you walk away with
Learners appear to leave with practical understanding of psychedelic-assisted therapy, integration, harm reduction, and an ACT-based framework for preparation and integration work. For staff and fellows, the pathway can include training exposure to MDMA-assisted therapy, research participation, and access to internal workshops and classes; no standalone certification credential was clearly established in the sources reviewed.
