Back to Stakeholders

Founded in 2019 by Dr. Rafael Gonzalez-Vizoso and Scott Ross, Telos is a Mountlake Terrace, Washington practice offering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy through a collaborative model that enables licensed practitioners to integrate psychedelic-assisted therapy into their practices. They also offer training in core competencies of ketamine-assisted therapy for mental health providers.

Blossom’s read

Telos sits in the more relational, practice-led end of the ketamine-training field rather than the university or large commercial chain end. The public material suggests it is best understood as a small Washington-based collective with a strong collaborative ethos, oriented to licensed clinicians already working in therapy and wanting to add ketamine-assisted psychotherapy into existing practice. Its stated training lineage is fairly grounded, with references to Fluence, the Ketamine Training Center, and practitioners who have also trained via MAPS and CIIS, though Telos itself appears to be a private provider rather than a formal academic institution.

Who Telos is for

Best suited to licensed mental health clinicians and other established practitioners who want hands-on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy training and a collegial model of implementation. It looks especially relevant for people seeking a warm, experiential format rather than a purely didactic course.

Prerequisites

The site positions the offer for independent practitioners and therapists, and the collaborative care model references working with a medical professional. Specific entry requirements were not clearly published on the sources found, beyond the implication that participants are practising professionals, likely licensed clinicians.

Accreditation & recognition

I found no clear evidence of formal academic accreditation. The public pages do state that Telos offers 4-day ketamine-assisted psychotherapy trainings and a quarterly experiential group for practitioners, but I could not verify CE/CME credit or any external professional accreditation from the sources located.

Cost

No tuition or pricing information was publicly visible in the sources I found. The site instead says the 2025 training offering is on pause, with enquiries to Scott Ross for a possible return in 2026, and describes the format as immersive, in-person, retreat-style and highly experiential.

What you walk away with

Learners appear to gain core competencies for ketamine-assisted therapy, plus a practical sense of how to integrate KAP into an existing practice within a collaborative medical-mental health model. The page language also suggests collegial consultation, experiential learning, and access to a practitioner community, rather than a formal standalone credential.
