IPI

Educational platform co-founded by Dr. Will Van Derveer and Keith Kurlander that trains therapists, physicians, and nurses in psychedelic-assisted therapy through a year-long online program taught by 50+ experts including Robin Carhart-Harris, Michael Pollan, and Rick Doblin. IPI's curriculum covers evidence-based protocols for PTSD, depression, and anxiety, and partners with the Usona Institute and MAPS to prepare clinicians for emerging MDMA- and psilocybin-assisted treatments.

Blossom’s read

IPI sits in the practitioner-training end of the psychedelic education market rather than the public-facing retreat or advocacy end. It is best for licensed clinicians and other mental health professionals who want structured, online training in psychedelic-assisted therapy with a strong integrative psychiatry flavour, plus a clear pathway into ketamine, and preparation for future MDMA and psilocybin work. Its reputation is built on accessible delivery, a large expert faculty, and founder lineage that includes clinical experience in MAPS- and NYU-linked psychedelic research, though its flagship psychedelic course is a private professional training rather than a regulator-approved licensure pathway.

Who is IPI for?

Best suited to psychotherapists, psychiatrists, physicians, nurses, NPs, PAs, and other allied mental health professionals who already practise, or are preparing to practise, in clinical settings. It is especially relevant for clinicians wanting a broad, evidence-informed introduction to preparation, dosing, and integration rather than a purely theory-led academic course.

What do you need before you start?

The psychedelic-assisted therapy training is listed for LPCs, clinical psychologists, LCSWs, LMFTs, and pre-licensed therapists at MA level or equivalent. The broader IPI programme overview also indicates the training is aimed at mental health providers, while the Level I certification page says it is for seasoned mental health professionals committed to advancing their expertise.

Is IPI accredited?

The Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Training is listed as offering 49 CE/CME hours. IPI also states that the programme is certification-eligible, but it is not an approved training by Colorado DORA for licensure under the Natural Medicine and Natural Medicine Product Act, nor by the Oregon Health Authority for licensure under the Oregon Psilocybin Services Act.

How much does it cost?

IPI publishes a regular tuition of $6,000 for the 4-month Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Training, with an early registration discount of $3,500. Payment plans may be available on the discovery call, and the programme includes access to content for two years after programme completion.

What do you walk away with?

Learners receive an IPI Level I certification in psychedelic therapy and gain core competencies in preparation, dosing, and integration across psilocybin and ketamine contexts. The training is positioned to help clinicians build practical confidence for psychedelic-assisted work and prepare for future MDMA and psilocybin approvals.
