Psychedelic therapy education and training are rapidly gaining importance in the mental health sector, with emerging evidence supporting the use of substances like psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine for various mental health conditions. As the world of medicine evolves, healthcare professionals are recognizing the need to expand their practice to include these innovative treatments. This guide delves into the world of psychedelic therapy education and highlights why ATMA's programs are the right choice for those looking to advance in this field.

The main benefit of psychedelic drug use is that it can help you change your perspective and perception of life.
People often use these drugs to experience new things and look at their life differently.
For example, LSD was used by some psychotherapists during therapy sessions, as they believed it could produce positive psychological experiences for patients, making them less afraid and giving them more confidence.
