Back to Stakeholders

Psychedelic Coalition for Health is a U.S.-based psychedelic medicine education, training, and advocacy project led by clinicians Lauren Taus and Nicholas Brüss. Its public-facing work is centered on licensed health professionals, with Los Angeles-based in-person training and virtual programming that can reach a broader audience. The organization presents itself as serving clinicians and people interested in psychedelic health and well-being.

PCH offers psychedelic-assisted therapy and integration training, a virtual psychedelic medicine symposium, and continuing education programming. Its site says the group advocates for psychedelic health and happiness, supports science over stigma, and includes equity-oriented scholarship offerings for training participants. The coalition also frames its work around responsible implementation of psychedelic medicine and education on current research and clinical practice.

Blossom’s read

Psychedelic Coalition for Health looks like a clinician-facing, values-led education outfit rather than a broad public school. Its strongest fit seems to be licensed or near-licensed health professionals who want a practical, integration-heavy introduction to psychedelic-assisted therapy, with a particular emphasis on ketamine and on translating the work into real clinical practice. In the field, it sits closer to an experiential professional training and advocacy project than to a formal academic programme, with founder credibility drawn from psychotherapy, IFS, ketamine work, and MAPS-related lineage rather than university affiliation.

Who Psychedelic Coalition for Health is for

Best for licensed mental health clinicians and medical professionals, with some openness to early-career practitioners in relevant fields. The symposium is open to everyone, but the in-person training is aimed at health care professionals.

Prerequisites

The in-person training requires applicants to have an advanced degree in either mental health or medicine. The site says early-career mental health or medical professionals may apply and discuss fit, and lists LMFT, LPC, LCSW, clinical psychologists, pre-licensed therapists, BSN nurses, NPs, and physicians as eligible or relevant backgrounds.

Accreditation & recognition

PCH states that 50 continuing education credits are available for the in-person training. For psychologists, CE is provided through the Spiritual Competency Academy, which is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education. The site also says the California Board of Behavioural Sciences accepts these CE credits for certain California licences, and that the California Board of Registered Nursing and the National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coaches also recognise the CE provider.

Cost

The in-person training tuition is listed on the site as $4,000 for mental health professionals and $5,000 for physicians and medical doctors plus nurses on one page, and on another page as $5,000 for clinicians and $6,000 for physicians, suggesting pricing has changed across cohorts. Scholarship support is offered on a need-based, equity-informed basis. Tuition does not include accommodations, meals, or CE fees, though the symposium is included and prior symposium payment can be credited towards tuition.

What you walk away with

Learners are positioned to develop core competencies in psychedelic-assisted therapy and integration, with specific preparation for ketamine-assisted therapy and broader conceptual preparation for working with MDMA and psilocybin when legally available. The programme also aims to build skills in set and setting, safety, psychopharmacology, integration, ethics, and practice management, plus confidence to work as a psychedelic integration specialist.
