What is Psychedelic Assisted Therapy?

Psychedelic Assisted Therapy is a form of mental health treatment that involves the supervised use of psychedelic substances, such as psilocybin or MDMA, in combination with psychotherapy. This approach is designed to help individuals address mental health conditions like depression, PTSD, and anxiety by facilitating profound psychological experiences and insights. The therapy is conducted by trained professionals in a controlled and supportive setting to ensure safety and maximize therapeutic benefits.

What is the difference between Psychedelic Assisted Therapy vs Psychedelic Therapist?

AspectPsychedelic Assisted TherapyPsychedelic Therapist
CredentialsLicensed mental health professional with specialized training in psychedelic therapyLicensed therapist or counselor with additional training in psychedelic use
Work EnvironmentClinics, treatment centers, or research settingsTherapy offices, clinics, or research facilities
Industry UsageUsed in clinical, research, and therapeutic contextsPracticing mental health professionals providing therapy sessions

While both roles involve mental health expertise, Psychedelic Assisted Therapy specifically refers to the structured process of guiding clients through psychedelic experiences for therapeutic purposes, often within clinical settings. Psychedelic Therapists are trained mental health providers who may incorporate psychedelics into therapy but may also work with other therapeutic modalities. The key difference lies in the specialized training and the context of psychedelic use.

What are some common challenges therapists face when facilitating psychedelic-assisted therapy sessions?

Therapists in psychedelic-assisted therapy often encounter challenges such as managing clients’ intense emotional responses, ensuring client safety throughout the session, and navigating the integration process afterward. These sessions can be unpredictable, requiring therapists to be highly attentive and adaptable. Additionally, clear communication and collaboration with medical professionals is crucial, as is ongoing training to stay current with legal and ethical guidelines. Building trust with clients and maintaining professional boundaries during altered states of consciousness are also essential aspects of this unique therapeutic setting.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist, you need an advanced degree in mental health (such as psychology, counseling, or social work), clinical licensure, and specialized training in psychedelic therapy protocols. Competency with assessment tools, documentation systems, and knowledge of relevant regulatory guidelines and substances (like ketamine or psilocybin) are important. Excellent empathy, active listening, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to create a safe therapeutic environment are vital soft skills. These skills and qualities are essential to ensure ethical, effective, and supportive care for clients undergoing transformative and often vulnerable psychedelic experiences.

Job description

Mental health challenges can make simple things feel hard, and hard things feel impossible. At The Remedy Mental Health, we recognize the profound impact compassionate care can have and we meet our patients wherever they are on their journey. With locations across the Twin Cities, Western Wisconsin, and South Dakota our mission is to make exceptional mental health care accessible to all.

We are at the forefront of a new era in mental health treatment. In addition to delivering evidence-based outpatient therapy, our clinicians participate in pioneering psychedelic-assisted therapy clinical trials placing The Remedy among a select group of clinical sites shaping the future of psychiatric medicine.

This is not a traditional therapy position. You will carry a meaningful outpatient caseload and serve as a certified Psychedelic Session Monitor within FDA-regulated Phase II and Phase III investigational drug trials and be among the first clinicians in the country to combine conventional psychotherapy with emerging psychedelic-assisted interventions.

  • Dual clinical identity: licensed outpatient therapist and credentialed clinical trial monitor.
  • Hands-on experience with investigational psychedelic compounds under FDA and GCP oversight.
  • Professional development including trauma-informed care and psychedelic therapy certification support.
  • Collaborative interdisciplinary team with weekly case consultation and direct principal investigator access.
  • Hybrid schedule: in-person dosing sessions balanced with in-person and telehealth for standard outpatient care.

The Licensed Therapist & Clinical Trial Specialist carries an active outpatient caseload while serving as a trained monitor within The Remedy's psychedelic-assisted therapy research program. The clinical trial component requires the therapist to provide direct participant supervision during investigational substance administrations, maintain detailed source documentation, and deliver preparatory and integration psychotherapy as defined by each study protocol.

Outpatient Clinical Practice

  • Conduct diagnostic assessments and formulate individualized, evidence-based treatment plans.
  • Provide individual psychotherapy in person and via telehealth, adjusting approaches to meet each client's evolving needs.
  • Maintain timely, accurate clinical records and progress notes within the EHR system
  • Participate in weekly interdisciplinary team meetings and contribute to a collaborative clinical culture.
  • Utilize creative, client-centered interventions to support goal attainment and sustainable recovery.

Psychedelic Clinical Trial Duties

  • Serve as a Psychedelic Session Monitor within FDA-regulated Phase II and Phase III investigational drug trials, working as part of a two-person supervision team.
  • Maintain a safe, supportive physical and emotional environment for participants throughout extended dosing sessions (8+ hours).
  • Execute therapeutic and supportive frameworks with fidelity to ensure data consistency across the trial.
  • Conduct structured preparation sessions prior to dosing days to build participant rapport and informed expectations.
  • Facilitate post-experience integration sessions to support participants in processing their observations.
  • Complete detailed clinical observations and source documentation in compliance with GCP guidelines and Human Subject Protection regulations.
  • Maintain all required DEA registrations and state-specific certifications for controlled substance handling in a research context.

Required Qualifications

  • Master's degree or higher in a behavioral science or related field from an accredited institution.
  • Independently licensed or licensure-eligible as LPCC, LMFT, LICSW, or LP in Minnesota.
  • Experience completing diagnostic assessments, treatment plans, and clinical progress notes.
  • Ability to remain present and attentive during extended monitoring sessions.

What We Offer

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Health Savings Account (HSA).
  • 401(k) with employer match.
  • Life insurance and AD&D coverage.
  • Short-term disability insurance.
