We are proud to partner with The Center Origin (Denver, CO) and Neuro Alchemy (Littleton, CO) to offer learners a hands-on practicum pathway that meets Colorado’s requirements for Natural Medicine Facilitator Licensure. This collaboration provides Numinus learners with access to in-person experiential or clinical practicums in a professional setting in Colorado.
Numinus is a trusted leader in psychedelic-assisted therapy training, combining evidence-based research with real-world clinical practice. Our programs are designed by experienced clinicians and researchers to prepare providers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to deliver safe, ethical, and effective care.
When you choose Numinus, you gain:
Beyond training, Numinus graduates become part of a strong alumni network. Practitioners across North America stay connected through bi-weekly supervision groups and our private chat community, where they can share insights, discuss cases, and continue learning from each other. Even though our alumni practice in diverse regions, they remain part of a connected professional community committed to transforming mental health care together.
Many of courses do not have prerequisites, however some of the courses that are later in the certification pathway require some foundational knowledge and skills. Applied Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy and Practical Applications of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy must be taken in the correct order in the pathway in order to progress through to certification.
Please see the specific prerequisite requirements on each course page.
Graduates of Numinus Training programs are practicing across North America in regions where psychedelic-assisted therapy is emerging within clinical and community care. You can find Numinus-trained providers in:
Colorado including Denver, Boulder, and Colorado Springs, where psilocybin therapy and integration services are expanding.
Oregon especially in Portland and Eugene, where psilocybin training and facilitation are legally regulated.
Alberta in Calgary and Edmonton, where ketamine-assisted therapy and psychedelic integration therapy are offered in clinical settings.
British Columbia across Vancouver, Victoria, and Kelowna, where interest in psychedelic-assisted therapy training continues to grow.
Quebec including Montreal and Quebec City, where graduates provide psychedelic integration and mental health services.
Ontario in Toronto, Ottawa, and London, with many graduates offering psychedelic integration therapy, ketamine training, and related services.
Please consult the Numinus Training Policies for more information about our policies.
Our programs leverage the following key learning formats, blended in a way that offers flexibility and accessibility while encouraging knowledge retention with adult learners:
Online pre-work through a Learning Management Platform
This is where learners become familiar with the theory and evidence reviews, introduce concepts through video format, engage in activities and applications of content, and test learning through knowledge checks.
Live classes through Zoom
In the live classes, learners get to apply their skills in real time in small group breakouts, see live demonstrations of key therapy skills, conceptualize treatment through real case-based scenarios, and build community among like-minded providers.
Small group assignments
In some courses, learners are matched with a small group to practice homework assignments and provides a safe space to ask questions and review content with colleagues.
We have a specific pathway for Colorado learners and another for Oregon learners to meet the required training requirements for Colorado and Oregon. Please visit Colorado-Approved Natural Medicine Facilitator Training Program and Oregon-Approved Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy Pathway to learn more about the approved training programs and their additional requirements.
Numinus has two different options for learners that are unsure about how far they want to take their training in this field:
1 – Register in our Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration course to learn about some of the ways you can support clients with their own journeys, while not diving too far into offering psychedelic-assisted therapy yourself yet. The total time commitment in this course is 10 hours, so it’s a low-commitment option for new providers to dip a toe into training.
2 – Our certification pathway is structured using cohorts, meaning learners can get a certificate for completing each individual component and can stop at any point in the pathway when they feel their training goals have been met. Learners can start with Fundamentals of PAT or Molecular Foundations and will receive certificates for those courses, regardless of their decision to pursue full certification or not.
All providers, at any level, will be challenged to learn something new and apply skills in a new way throughout all of our courses. In Fundamentals of PAT, you will likely be matched with a small group that have very different experiences from you and you’ll be challenged to discuss cases and approaches with colleagues that will offer fresh perspectives and new strategies for you to apply in your own work. There are also opportunities to volunteer for live demos with our expert-level instructors, which is a rich opportunity to take your knowledge to the next level, given its tailored to your current abilities and willingness to dive into the exercise.
Further, the psychedelic landscape is shifting incredibly rapidly, which means new research, models, and approaches are developing and continuously becoming available. Numinus programs stay on the cutting edge of science and will help to ensure you have up-to-date education in the field. Highly successful providers in this field will be the ones who prioritize continuing education in their practice and want to align with the current evidence-based approaches.
