Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy Certificate Program - Oregon

Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy Certificate Program Objective

The Certificate in Psilocybin-assisted Therapy is for licensed therapists who reside in Oregon and wish to obtain the training and education necessary to qualify to become a psilocybin facilitator under Oregon’s Measure 109. The program is grounded in Fluence’s Harm Reduction informed approach to Psychedelic-assisted Therapy and integration work, and designed and taught by leading researcher clinicians with Psilocybin-assisted Therapy experience in clinical research settings. Fluence draws on a wealth of experience and resources to create this program with a new focus on community-based psilocybin therapy practice.

Program Structure and Course Hours

The program includes 120 hours of instruction in mixed in-person, online asynchronous (self-paced), and online synchronous (scheduled) formats. Participants will receive access to our online classroom with a full outline of the course and materials. Over the course of 30 Sessions, participants will complete approximately 1.5 hours per session of self-paced study including readings, informational videos, and practice therapy sessions for peer and instructor feedback. Participants will choose and join a home-group of around 12 participants which will meet weekly for 30 Sessions (usually scheduled 1/ week) at a scheduled time with an instructor for discussion and additional instruction. Participants will also select a scheduled in-person training session to attend and complete 30 hours of live training over the course of 5 days. In-person sessions will be scheduled at least twice a year. The timing of these are independent from one another, but both must be completed prior to graduation. After completing the 120-hour program, participants will be eligible for a 40-hour practicum experience. Students are expected to complete the program within 2 years; however, given the cohort model, most students will complete the curriculum in approximately 9-10 months.
