Within this article, we address the difficulties of professional networking for mental health professionals within psychedelics. Whether you’re looking to treat patients with a co-therapy team or find a prescribing physician for psychedelic substances, connecting with the right individuals can seem daunting. Fortunately, Psychedelic Support is offering a new networking solution called Professional Connect.

Psychedelic clinical trials for MDMA and psilocybin indicate significant positive results in treating PTSD and treatment-resistant depression. With the FDA granting breakthrough designation status for MDMA and psilocybin, psychedelic clinical trials are fast-tracked to bring these life-saving treatments to patients as quickly as possible. As psychedelic healthcare and medicine becomes mainstream, the need for access to psychedelic therapy and trained psychedelic therapists will grow.

Becoming a psychedelic therapist puts you on the transformational edge of mental healthcare within a new professional niche. But, whether you are interested in becoming a psychedelic therapist or are already practicing as one, the psychedelic professional landscape is confusing, and navigating laws, insurance, and training programs are difficult. 

Common Questions Among Psychedelic Healthcare Providers

Common questions among healthcare professionals within the psychedelic field are:

  • Where do I receive adequate training?
  • How do I find a supervisor to meet certification requirements?
  • Where do I find a prescribing physician for psychedelic substances?
  • How do I connect with others to build a co-therapy team?
  • Where can I network with other healthcare providers within the space?
  • How do I get answers to clinical questions that come up in my practice with these new medicines?

Professional Connect, a new networking platform for psychedelic healthcare providers, answers these questions. Launched by Psychedelic Support, the premier psychedelic resource site, Professional Connect aims to bring together a diverse set of healthcare professionals focusing on psychedelic care. With Professional Connect, healthcare providers can now search for or offer services for supervision, training, medication prescribing, therapy services, groups, research, and more. 

Dr. Allison Feduccia, Co-Founder of Psychedelic Support, says, 

“We created Professional Connect because we see the need for a professional networking space for healthcare providers working with psychedelics. Psychedelic therapy is a complex field in unchartered territory. Patients need a team of trained professionals (doctor, co-therapy team) to achieve the best outcomes, as shown in recent controlled clinical trials. 

But, therapists typically work independently, and there is a significant need for health professionals with diverse expertise to work together, share knowledge, supervise, and mentor each other. Psychedelics are transformational and new terrain within mental health care, and we see the need for depth and breadth of knowledge sharing.”

Increase Your Psychedelic Network of Healthcare Professionals 

Working as a healthcare provider can feel isolating, especially when diving into the new arena of psychedelic medicine. Being a part of Professional Connect will help you increase your network and maximize your reach and visibility. 

As a healthcare professional, you can easily connect to other professionals within the field. Networking with other providers, including those with complementary skills, will offer you access to specialized knowledge and a greater sense of community. It will also help you optimize your approach to psychedelic care and stay on the cutting edge of psychedelic medicine.

Within the developing psychedelic field, different kinds of practitioners need varying support. Professional Connect is designed to support resource and innovation sharing within the community of psychedelic care providers. Professional Connect will grow with you as you grow within the field.

Psychedelics and grief. This image depicts two older people dressed in black, standing in a cemetery with gravestones and trees in the background. They are embracing each other in a gesture of comfort, their backs to the viewer, suggesting a moment of shared mourning or remembrance. The color palette is muted, dominated by earthy tones and soft greens, with the black clothing contrasting against the lighter background. A unique compositional element is the series of curving white lines that cut through the image, creating a wave-like distortion over the background scenery. This effect adds an abstract, introspective quality, perhaps evoking a sense of time passing or memories shifting. The framing of the lines emphasizes the solemn, intimate moment, drawing the eye to the figures and reinforcing the emotional depth of the scene.

The light streaming in from the background adds a warm, inviting feel to the composition, emphasizing the couple's shared interest and engagement in the moment.
