Blossom’s read

Polaris Insight sits in the more clinical end of the psychedelic training field: a San Francisco KAP clinic that also runs a structured practitioner pathway. It is best for licensed clinicians who want practical ketamine-assisted psychotherapy training with APA-approved CE options, case consultation, and a clear route towards a certificate. The lineage is anchored by co-founder Veronika Gold and a faculty mix that includes clinicians with MAPS and related psychedelic-training experience.

Who is Polaris Insight for?

Best suited to licensed clinicians, psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who want to learn ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in a clinical setting. It also suits practitioners who want a paced certificate pathway rather than a single standalone course.

What do you need before you start?

Module 1 is the prerequisite for Modules 2 to 5 and the Training and Practice Module, although graduates of other introductory KAP programmes can request a waiver. The certificate pathway is open to licensed clinicians, and some advanced modules are framed for practitioners already working in the field.

Is Polaris Insight accredited?

Polaris Insight Center is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. Individual modules offer CE credits for an additional fee, and the provider states that its certificate pathway is a practitioner training certificate rather than an academic degree.

How much does it cost?

Module 1 is priced at $375, with $25 of that as a non-refundable administrative fee, and 8 CE credits are available for an additional $79. The Foundational Series of Modules 1 to 5 plus the Practice Module costs $1,950, which the provider says is a $300 discount versus buying modules separately. The cohort programme is listed at $2,150 plus an optional $399 for 41 CE credits, and the clinic also publishes separate treatment fees for KAP services.

What do you walk away with?

Learners can earn a Polaris and Rainfall Medicine Certificate of Training in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy after completing the required modules, practice elements, and consultation, then submitting an application with proof of completion. The training aims to build competence in KAP protocols, set and setting, preparation, dosing context, integration, ethics, and clinical practice.
