Course Provider
The Integrative Mental Health University (IMHU) is a nonprofit continuing education platform founded by Emma Bragdon PhD in 2013, offering accredited courses for mental health professionals on psychedelic-assisted therapy, spiritual emergence, and integrative healing modalities. IMHU serves clinicians seeking to incorporate psychedelic therapy and spiritual emergency response into their professional practice.
IMHU is a niche, values-led training provider at the intersection of psychedelic support, spiritual emergency, and integrative mental health. Its strongest fit is for clinicians and adjacent practitioners who want a practical, spiritually-informed framework for non-ordinary states rather than a conventional academic route. The public face of the organisation is closely tied to Emma Bragdon, a long-standing teacher in body-mind-spirit wellness and the central figure behind its course design and lineage.
Best for licensed clinicians, therapists, nurses, psychiatrists, coaches, and other practitioners supporting people in psychedelic, spiritual emergence, or other non-ordinary states. It also serves curious professionals who want continuing education without entering a formal degree programme.
Many courses are open enrolment, and the flagship Spiritual Emergence Coach pathway is designed especially for healthcare providers but is open to anyone interested in the topic. CE credit is for eligible licensed professionals; some certification elements include a final personal interview and agreement to policies and ethical guidelines.
IMHU offers continuing education credits on selected hybrid and self-paced courses. The course pages state that the Spiritual Competency Academy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists, and IMHU lists CE credits as available for eligible healthcare providers and, on some courses, CMEs for mental health professionals, nurses and MDs.
IMHU does not publish a single programme price. Individual courses range from free to paid self-paced offerings, and the Level 1 Spiritual Emergence Coach pathway is listed at $1,445 total, with CE credits available for an additional $75 on top of course price for eligible providers.
Learners can earn CE credit, complete a Spiritual Emergence Coach® pathway, and develop practical skills for recognising, differentiating, and supporting spiritual crisis, psychosis-like states, and psychedelic or consciousness-related experiences. Certification may also include listing in IMHU’s directory, plus networking, supervision, and professional promotion benefits.
