Frequently Asked Questions

No catch. Over the last few years, thanks to the generosity of our expert speakers and the support of therapists like you, we've had the amazing opportunity to provide professional training to more therapists than ever.

Because psychedelic-assisted therapy is something all therapists need to know about, we wanted to pull together the very best of the best into an exclusive 2-day training that’s accessible to all therapists. It helps the field and in turn, helps us fulfill our mission.


Yes! Even if you won't go further and practice psychedelic-assisted therapies, we all need to understand this rapidly growing area of therapy. Clients are asking us about it, they are using psychedelics on their own, and many clients will come to your practice having been to ketamine clinics or other psychedelic therapies. Plus, your clients will need help navigating this world of therapies safely, and they need you to help them better understand the risks and benefits as they look to integrate these experiences.

Even if you're not a PAP therapist — you can help! This Summit is designed for you!


YES! All sessions are completely LIVE and you'll be able to engage with the presenters and chat with colleagues throughout each presentation.


Just register today above with your name and email, then click the "LIVE CE" button on the next page to purchase your credit package for just $99.99 (discounted from $575.00 ) — only available for those who register here and purchase before the end of the training..

Psychotherapy Networker is a non-profit educational organization. For over 46 years, we have featured the leading researchers, innovators, and developers in the field through our award-winning magazine, CE trainings, and our annual Symposium.

Our focus is on telling the stories of psychotherapy and being a place where clinicians of all licenses and backgrounds who practice psychotherapy can keep up on what's happening in the field, hear captivating stories from colleagues on what's really happening in their practices, learn through CE trainings from the best in the field, and enjoy the most celebrated annual gathering of psychotherapists in the world each year in March in Washington, D.C.!


Psychedelic-assisted therapies are here NOW, and ketamine clinics are all over the US. Right now, licensed mental health professionals can engage in harm reduction practices (for when clients use outside of a licensed clinic) and in integration (helping clients integrated psychedelic experiences) and provide needed accurate information about risks and benefits.

This training is designed for exactly that — practical guidance not just for the future, but right here, right now.
