THERAPISTS
Psychedelic assisted therapy is not yet medically licensed in Ireland. To avail of it legally you must be part of a clinical research trial.
We encourage anyone planning to take psychedelics outside of these regulated environments to exercise caution as this carries extra risk.
For people who have already taken a psychedelic substance and are looking for help to integrate their experience, the following is a list of therapists who have experience working in this area. IDPAT have not vetted these therapists;Â we only list those who have IACP / IAHIP / ICP / IACAT accreditation.
