The American Psychedelic Practitioners Association was born out of the need for a credible, gold-standard professional association to emerge alongside a certification board. In addition to creating a national network of psychedelic practitioners, a professional association is necessary to advocate for the adoption of psychedelic treatments into the healthcare system and to ensure access for all who can safely benefit.
Standards
Establish Standards of Care and Standards of Training and engage the healthcare system in adopting psychedelic care.
Advocacy
Advocate for safe, effective, and accessible care for all who can benefit.
Education
Provide education, mentorship, and cross-pollination for this multidisciplinary community of practitioners.
Community
Build a community founded on the mosaic of perspectives and skills from the psychedelic field.
APPA is the professional association for all psychedelic practitioners, and we support our members through the delivery of professional guidelines, services, and educational opportunities to aid in your professional growth and development. We offer a broad array of valuable member benefits, and we are always looking for ways to improve the member experience.
We support both the certification of licensed medical practitioners and the credentialing of legacy practitioners and lineage holders, and work collaboratively in the field on your behalf to help keep these goals centered in the heart of the psychedelic infrastructure movement.
Guided by a diverse group of practitioners, Elders, lawyers, educators and more, we have founded a community to share knowledge, teach, and learn from each other, and ensure transparency and accountability as Psychedelic-Assisted Care becomes mainstream to the American public.
APPA offers services based on the ranked priorities of our members and partners, and in coordination with FDA-approval timelines and state-regulated programs.
