Course Provider
Breakthrough Therapies is a Toronto-based ketamine-assisted psychotherapy clinic and training organization founded by Dr. Dawn DeCunha, offering certified KAP training programs (Level 1 and Level 2 mentoring practicum) alongside a clinical KAP retreat program at their Aspenwood location north of Toronto. The organization bridges Trauma Informed and Psychedelically Informed Practice, training clinicians in psychedelic psychotherapy principles while providing patient care.
Breakthrough Therapies sits in the clinician-training end of the Canadian psychedelic field, with a clear emphasis on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, psychedelic psychotherapy principles, and mentored practice. It is best for regulated mental health professionals who want a practical route into KAP rather than a purely academic or overtly experimental programme. The tone is clinic-led and practice-oriented, with Dr Dawn DeCunha fronting the teaching and a strong focus on safety, set, setting, integration, and aftercare.
Best suited to psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers, medical practitioners and other regulated health professionals who want to integrate psychedelic psychotherapy into existing practice. It also offers an entry point for curious practitioners at Level 1, with deeper mentoring for those ready to build a dedicated KAP service.
Level 2 and the core training are for regulated professionals in good standing with their professional colleges. The provider also states that applicants should be currently licensed and eligible to provide professional services.
The provider describes its training as certified KAP training and shows multiple professional association and institutional logos on its site, but it does not publish a single clear accreditation statement for CE, CME, or college recognition. One brochure presents the programme as designed for regulated healthcare providers and another notes that Level 1 is for experienced practitioners, with Level 3 mentoring reserved for graduates of the model.
The online intensive is published at CAD $3,200 plus HST, with an early-bird price of CAD $2,560 plus HST and a second discount tier at CAD $2,880 plus HST. A separate listing for the earlier BTT Professional Training shows a price of $1,800. The provider does not publish a single consolidated tuition page covering all levels and formats.
Learners walk away with a working understanding of KAP principles, patient screening, preparation, dosing-session support, distress management, and integration. Higher levels are designed to help practitioners move from introductory knowledge into applied KAP practice, mentored clinical development, and, for graduates, deeper apprenticeship-style teaching and mentorship pathways.
