Back to Stakeholders

Founded in 2015 and based in Oakland, California, Praxis Continuing Education and Training offers jointly accredited professional development for behavioral health clinicians, including courses bridging psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). They serve psychologists, therapists, counselors, social workers, and nurses through on-demand, live online, and in-person formats.

Blossom’s read

Praxis looks like a well-established, professionally oriented CE shop rooted in the contextual behavioural therapy world, rather than a loose psychedelic-retreat brand. Its strongest fit is clinicians who already work in evidence-based psychotherapy and want psychedelic-assisted care framed through ACT, flexibility, and other mainstream clinical models. The lineage appears solid, with New Harbinger and named experts such as Steven Hayes, Kirk Strosahl, Patricia Robinson, and other recognised ACT figures in the mix, so it sits closer to the clinical education mainstream than to the more experiential or non-clinical edge of the field.

Who Praxis is for

Best for licensed or training clinicians who want structured, credit-bearing education in ACT and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, especially those already working with clients in behavioural health settings. It is less obviously aimed at the curious public or retreat-style facilitators.

Prerequisites

For some courses, Praxis states an intended audience of mental health or health professionals and students, with beginner to advanced backgrounds depending on the course. Certain activities recommend a degree and licence in clinical psychology, MFT, social work, psychiatry, or a related mental health field, but prerequisites vary by course rather than the organisation as a whole.

Accreditation & recognition

Praxis Continuing Education and Training by New Harbinger says it is jointly accredited by ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC, and also offers CE through APA, ASWB, NBCC, NAADAC, and others depending on the activity. Individual courses can carry CE hours for psychologists, social workers, nurses, physicians, and drug and alcohol counsellors; for example, its ACT and psychedelic-assistance courses list specific CE approvals and credit totals.

Cost

Pricing is course-specific. Public listings show on-demand courses such as ACT Basics at $249, ACT Daily at $99, and ACT for Anxiety Disorders at $449. The psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy course page found here did not surface a price in the retrieved material, so exact tuition for that offering is unclear from the sources used.

What you walk away with

Learners generally walk away with continuing education credit and practical clinical skills for using ACT and related behavioural therapies. For the psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy offering, the stated outcomes include understanding psychological flexibility in psychedelic work, the therapeutic relationship, expanded states of consciousness, and the transformational process, rather than a separate licensure or standalone credential.
