Psychologists, psychiatrists, or counsellors whose credentials include recognized licensing indicators (for example Licensed, LCSW, LMFT, LPC, or equivalent), reviewed during onboarding.
Licensed Psychedelic Integration Therapists
Find licensed psychologists, psychiatrists, and counsellors with verified credentials who offer psychedelic integration support.
This directory only lists professionals who meet Psymerge's licensed-therapist criteria: an eligible professional role plus verifiable licensing language in their credentials. We never label coaches as therapists. Integration therapy is clinical support before and after psychedelic experiences — the kind of structured, professional help that formal psychedelic-assisted therapy research builds directly into its protocols.
Only profiles with eligible professional roles and licensing indicators in their credentials appear here. If you need crisis support, contact local emergency services or a licensed clinician in your region.

Responds in ~4hWhy does licensing matter for integration?
Licensed clinicians can assess risk, work within trauma and diagnosable conditions, and coordinate with medical care — scope that non-clinical support cannot provide.
Psychedelic experiences can surface trauma, destabilize mood, or interact with existing conditions. A licensed therapist offers the clinical scope and accountability to handle that safely, which is why health-critical 'therapist' claims on Psymerge map to verifiable licensure rather than self-description.

What does the research show about clinician-supported integration?
Formal psychedelic-assisted therapy trials embed clinician-led preparation and integration sessions as core components, alongside substantial symptom improvements.
A phase 3 MDMA-assisted therapy trial for severe PTSD paired dosing with three preparatory and nine integration sessions and reported large effects versus placebo with therapy. The throughline across modern trials is that skilled clinical support around the experience is integral to results.

FAQ
Who qualifies as a therapist on this page?
Does Psymerge offer psychedelic-assisted therapy?
Psymerge connects you with independent professionals for preparation and integration support. We do not supply substances or facilitate sessions involving the administration of illegal compounds.
Why are coaches excluded from this directory?
Because 'therapist' is a health-critical claim. To protect users, we restrict this directory to verified licensed professionals and list non-licensed practitioners separately as coaches.
When should I prefer a therapist over a coach?
Whenever trauma history, mood or psychotic disorders, medication needs, or a desire for clinical treatment are involved. Coaching can complement therapy but does not replace clinical care.
