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 better-established, clinician-facing end of the psychedelic training market rather than the consumer or retreat space. Its strength seems to be a broad, evidence-led curriculum with serious names from research and practice, plus a clear bias towards helping licensed professionals work safely with ketamine now and prepare for wider MDMA and psilocybin access later. The main caveat is that its own site makes clear the Level I certification is not an approved pathway for Colorado or Oregon licensure, so it is best thought of as a professional development credential rather than a regulatory one.

Who IPI is for

Best suited to licensed clinicians and medically trained professionals who want structured, practical training in psychedelic-assisted therapy, especially those already seeing trauma, depression, anxiety, or treatment-resistant patients. It may also suit pre-licensed therapists and other mental health professionals who meet the entry criteria and want to build competence before clinical rollout.

Prerequisites

Applicants are asked whether they hold one of these credentials: LPC, LMFT, PhD/PsyD, LCSW, MA pre-licensed therapist, M.Div. chaplain, MD/DO, PA, or NP. The site frames it as for seasoned mental health professionals, and the application process includes a screening call to assess fit.

Accreditation & recognition

The programme states it is anticipating approval of 20 CE/CME credits for the asynchronous Foundations of Psychedelic Therapy portion. The site also says the Level I certification is not an approved training for licensure under Colorado DORA or Oregon Health Authority natural medicine rules.

Cost

The listed tuition for the Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Training is $6,000 regular, with an early registration discount of $3,500, and payment plans may be available after a discovery call. The programme includes 140 hours of learning, 55 hours of live virtual sessions, and access to a private community portal; the programme overview also says content access lasts 2 years after completion.

What you walk away with

Learners are positioned to earn an IPI Psychedelic Therapy Level I Certification and to build core competencies in psychedelic-assisted therapy, including protocols, dosing, integration, ethics, therapeutic process, and work with ketamine, MDMA and psilocybin frameworks. The training is also presented as a pathway to greater confidence in clinical practice and to joining IPI’s provider community.
