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.
American Psychedelic Practitioners Association (APPA) is the national home for the diverse community of psychedelic practitioners. Our mandate is to safely integrate psychedelic-assisted therapy into the US healthcare system.
Establish Standards of Care and Standards of Training and engage the healthcare system in adopting psychedelic care.
Advocate for safe, effective, and accessible care for all who can benefit.
Provide education, mentorship, and cross-pollination for this multidisciplinary community of practitioners.
Build a community founded on the mosaic of perspectives and skills from the psychedelic field.
APPA will roll out services based on the ranked priorities of our members and partners, and in coordination with FDA-approval timelines and state regulated programs.
