Alchemy Community Therapy Center is a nonprofit, sliding-scale mental health clinic and training centre in Oakland, California. It provides equitable psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and offers training for therapists, including a two-year associateship programme and a ketamine-assisted therapy provider training. The organisation says it was founded in 2019 to address inequities in access to psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Alchemy is a California-based nonprofit training centre and clinic with a clear social justice and harm-reduction orientation. Its strongest fit is for clinicians and pre-licensed therapists who want practical ketamine-assisted therapy training in a small-cohort setting, rather than a broad psychedelic studies programme. The organisation’s lineage sits in community mental health and depth psychotherapy, with a curriculum that explicitly foregrounds equity, trauma, and systemic injustice.
Best for licensed clinicians, prescribers, and associate therapists who want training in ketamine-assisted therapy within a community mental health model. It also suits practitioners who value a socially conscious, trauma-informed approach and small-cohort learning.
The 7-week clinician training is for clinicians, with prescriber-specific material included. The 2-year associateship is open to pre-licensed therapists who have finished their graduate programme and are collecting hours as AMFTs, ACSWs, APCCs, or psychology associates.
The 7-week ketamine therapy provider training offers optional continuing education credit for licensed professionals for an added fee. The provider states that trainees receive a certificate of completion, but that this is not the same as being certified in ketamine-assisted therapy because there is no official certification board setting standards. CE credit is offered through Spiritual Competency Academy, which is APA-approved to sponsor CE for psychologists, and the California Board of Behavioral Sciences accepts those credits for several California licences.
The clinician training is priced at $2,100, with an optional $400 fee for CE credits. Tuition includes live teaching, pre-recorded content, a discussion forum, course materials, and a certificate of completion; payment plans and scholarships are offered. The associateship is a paid training role rather than a tuition course, with first-year associates paid $18 per hour.
Learners receive a certificate of completion for the clinician course, plus optional CE credit if they meet attendance and coursework requirements. The training is designed to build practical competence in ketamine-assisted therapy, including ethics, medical safety, intake and consent materials, and supervised clinical application. Associates in the two-year programme gain cohort-based clinical training and supervision, with the pathway towards offering ketamine-assisted therapy more independently.
