548: Getting Ready for Psychedelic Therapy: What therapists need to know, with Dr. Elizabeth Nielson

Psychedelic-assisted therapies are approaching FDA approval, and clinicians are asking how to prepare. Fluence and the Trauma Therapist Network teamed up to walk through the post-approval training landscape, including what training looks like, how to get credentialed, and key decisions for your practice.

Dr. Elizabeth Nielson, co-founder of Fluence, describes where things are and what therapists need to be prepared. We also discussed why trauma therapy backgrounds align naturally with psychedelic therapy work. This practical orientation for clinicians will orient you to the next professional steps to becoming a psychedelic therapist.
