Blossom’s read
Michener is a serious, clinically anchored option rather than a boutique psychedelic school. Its Foundations of Psychedelic Psychotherapy course is best suited to health professionals who want a structured introduction to psychedelic-assisted and ketamine-assisted therapy within a university health network setting, with experiential components and strong emphasis on screening, safety and integration. The programme sits close to the Canadian clinical mainstream, which gives it credibility, though its reach is narrower than full certification pathways and it is oriented to foundational professional development rather than casual exploration.
Who is Michener for?
Best for licensed clinicians and other healthcare professionals who want a rigorous introduction to psychedelic psychotherapy and are prepared for experiential learning. It is particularly relevant for people already working in psychotherapy or adjacent clinical roles.
What do you need before you start?
Applicants must meet the admission requirements and complete the supplementary application by the published deadline. The course materials indicate that standards and regulations for psychedelic psychotherapy do not currently exist in Canada, and the programme expects participants to be able to engage with psychologically activating experiential work; it also strongly recommends that learners have a therapist in place during the course.
Is Michener accredited?
Michener publishes continuing education and professional development accreditation services, but it does not publish a specific accreditation, CME, or CE credit statement for the Foundations of Psychedelic Psychotherapy course on the materials reviewed. The programme is hosted by the Michener Institute of Education at UHN in conjunction with the UHN Psychedelic Psychotherapy Research Group.
How much does it cost?
Michener does not publish a single public tuition figure for the Foundations of Psychedelic Psychotherapy course on the materials reviewed. The application materials note that a refund may be available minus the application fee if a participant is found not safe to participate in breathwork, and earlier cohort materials note a limited bursary option of $1,000 for students in financial need.
What do you walk away with?
Learners complete a broad introductory training in psychedelic psychotherapy with recorded lectures, live virtual sessions, and an in-person retreat. The course is designed to build foundational knowledge, experiential familiarity, and a safer framework for future clinical work rather than confer a standalone professional licence.
