Bridging the Gap:
Experiential Ketamine Training for Today’s Mental Health Professionals
As the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy continues to expand, mental health professionals face increasing pressure to stay at the forefront of safe, ethical, and evidence-based care. Ketamine, in particular, has emerged as a powerful tool in the treatment of depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders, and other treatment-resistant conditions. Yet, many clinicians lack access to the experiential training and clinical mentorship needed to apply ketamine therapy responsibly and effectively within their scope of practice.
What Clinical Training Misses:
The Real-World Skills Needed for Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
Standard clinical education rarely addresses the nuances of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, leaving many professionals underprepared for real-world implementation. Without proper training, the therapeutic potential of ketamine can be underutilized or misapplied, potentially compromising outcomes for patients and practitioners alike.
