TheraPsil
Data updated
Canada
TheraPsil is a Canadian nonprofit focused on legal access to psychedelic-assisted therapy for people in medical need. Its current public work spans patient navigation, prescriber and therapist training, referrals, and sustained advocacy around federal access pathways.
The organization remains one of the clearest Canadian patient-access stakeholders because it links policy work to concrete care pathways. Current materials show active work on Project Solace, ongoing clinician upskilling, and new Manitoba progress around MDMA-assisted therapy.

Blossom’s read
TheraPsil looks like a serious, advocacy-rooted Canadian training provider rather than a glossy school. Its strongest suit is practical, clinician-facing education tied to real access pathways, with a clear emphasis on ethics, patient-centred care, and the Canadian regulatory context. It appears best for licensed practitioners who want to work within legal psychedelic care, especially in psilocybin, rather than for curious laypeople or purely experiential seekers. Notable lineage includes Canada-based clinical and advocacy leadership, and its faculty are presented as experienced psychedelic psychotherapy and palliative care practitioners.
Who TheraPsil is for
Best for licensed clinicians and prescribers who want structured training in legal psychedelic-assisted care, particularly in psilocybin and MDMA. It also seems suitable for allied professionals already working in mental health or healthcare who need credible continuing education and practice-ready protocols.
Prerequisites
Varies by programme. Prescriber training is for licensed prescribing professionals such as physicians, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and equivalent roles. The broader psychotherapy trainings are aimed at healthcare professionals and professionals preparing to work in psychedelic-assisted care; some advanced or experiential routes appear to prefer prior psychedelic training or completion of foundational psilocybin training.
Accreditation & recognition
TheraPsil states its Psilocybin Prescriber Training is certified for 8 Mainpro+ CME credits. It also states its Fundamentals of Psilocybin Training Program has CPA and CCPA approval for 144.5 continuing education credit hours, and OPQ approval for 30 continuing education credit hours, with the site elsewhere also describing 155 CE hours for the psilocybin fundamentals pathway. TheraPsil notes that it tracks progress but the learner is responsible for applying for CE credit where relevant.
Cost
Prescriber Training is listed at $350 CAD plus tax, with TheraPsil membership required at $400 per year or $40 per month, making the first-year total $750 plus tax. The broader fundamentals pathways are listed at $3,600 CAD online or $4,450 CAD in person for psilocybin, and $3,600 CAD online or $4,999 CAD for MDMA didactic plus experiential options. Some supervision, experiential sessions, and onboarding or directory fees are separate, and payment plans and bursaries are available for most programmes.
What you walk away with
Learners appear to leave with practice-oriented competencies in screening, intake, dosing, risk management, integration, multidisciplinary coordination, and navigation of Canadian access pathways. Depending on the programme, they may also gain a certificate of completion, CME or CE credit eligibility, and listing or affiliation in TheraPsil’s public practitioner directory or network.
