ATMA CENA Practitioners

Mental health care is evolving, and many therapists want a clear, ethical, and informed starting point in psychedelic-assisted therapy.

ATMA CENA’s Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Foundations course provides exactly that - a structured, CPA-endorsed foundation that prioritizes safety, ethics, regulation, and clinical clarity.

You’ll explore the history, science, therapeutic models, and professional considerations that shape this emerging field. You’ll learn from clinicians and prescribers with real-world experience in clinical environments where this work is delivered responsibly, while connecting with peers who take this field seriously.

Upon completion you’ll receive CE credits and the certificate required for all advanced ATMA CENA training pathways.

This is where every ATMA CENA training journey begins.

Registration for Foundations—and all associated Advanced Pathways—are now open.

Healing doesn't end when a therapy session does—that's where integration support becomes essential. Whether you've experienced psychedelic-assisted treatment or traditional counselling, the insights and changes that emerge need time and space to take root. Integration support helps you make sense of your experiences, develop new coping strategies, and create lasting change in your daily life. It's like having a guide as you navigate new territory within yourself.

At ATMA CENA, we understand that transformation is a process, not an event. That's why ongoing integration support is woven into every treatment plan we create. 🌱

There's actual science behind why gardening feels so good! Mycobacterium vaccae, a harmless bacteria found in soil, acts like a natural antidepressant when we breathe it in or touch it. Studies out of the University of Bristol show this "friendly" microbe triggers serotonin release in our brains—the same neurotransmitter targeted by many antidepressants.

So when you're digging in your garden or walking barefoot on earth, you're literally getting a dose of nature's medicine. Sometimes the simplest connections are the most profound. 🌱

Natural sunlight does more than boost Vitamin D—it's a powerful mood regulator. Research in the Journal of Psychiatric Research shows that morning sunlight exposure helps regulate circadian rhythms, improving sleep quality and reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Just 15-20 minutes of morning sun can reset your body's internal clock and enhance mental clarity throughout the day. Consider starting your day with coffee outside or taking a brief morning walk. Simple light exposure becomes profound medicine.

Imagine offering psychedelic-assisted therapy without overhauling your entire practice.
Our CoCare program makes this possible. You conduct preparation, integration, and follow-up sessions with clients in your own practice, while we handle medical screening, assessments, and medicine sessions at ATMA CENA clinics.

You maintain your therapeutic relationships, expand your service offerings, and collaborate with our interdisciplinary team—all while operating within your current setup. It's the evolution of your practice, not a revolution.

Busy practice? We understand. Our training programs are designed for working professionals, with most coursework completed online at your own pace. The mobile app lets you continue learning during commutes or breaks—literally psychedelic therapy training from your smartphone.

But we know hands-on experience is crucial, so our KAT Experiential Learning provides essential in-person components that deepen understanding and meet certification requirements. It's the perfect blend of flexibility and experiential depth for serious clinicians. Learning that works with your life, not against it.

Mental health research has delivered hopeful news: a comprehensive review found that psychedelic therapy may significantly reduce suicidal ideation in adults with psychiatric diagnoses.

For individuals and families affected by suicidal thoughts, this represents a potential lifeline. While more research continues, these findings add to the growing body of evidence supporting psychedelic-assisted therapy for treatment-resistant mental health conditions.

At ATMA CENA, we provide psychedelic-assisted therapy through carefully regulated programs for eligible clients. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please reach out—to us, to a crisis line, or to any trusted healthcare provider. Help is available. 🌅
