Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist Jobs in Psychedelic Medicine
Licensed therapists specializing in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and integration support for clients undergoing or recovering from medicine sessions.
Salary Range
Licensed therapists in private practice may earn more through private-pay rates ($150–$300/session). Employed positions at service centers or clinical trials range from $65K–$135K. Integration coaches (non-clinical) typically earn less.
How to Become a Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist
Psychedelic-assisted therapy requires a licensed mental health background combined with specialized training in psychedelic modalities. MDMA-assisted therapy (Lykos Therapeutics) and psilocybin-assisted therapy (COMPASS Pathways, Usona Institute) both require therapist co-facilitators. Integration therapy — helping clients process psychedelic experiences — is growing as a standalone specialty.
Education
A master's or doctoral degree in psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy is required for licensed therapist roles. Common licenses include LCSW, LMFT, LPC, LPCC, and psychologist licensure (PhD/PsyD). The therapist training for the MAPS MDMA protocol specifically targets licensed professionals.
Certifications & Licensing
MAPS-approved therapist training for MDMA-assisted therapy. Oregon facilitator license if working in psilocybin service centers. Somatic or trauma-informed therapy certifications (EMDR, IFS, SE) are common supplementary training.

Most psychedelic therapists are established clinicians transitioning from trauma, addiction, or palliative care specialties. Career progression often moves from employee roles at service centers to private practice or training and supervision roles.
