Frequently Asked Questions

We offer financial aid for eligible applicants. If cost is a barrier, you can contact training@atmacena.com. Our goal is to make this training accessible to qualified professionals across diverse backgrounds.

Requirements depend on both your province and your professional college. Because ATMA CENA works with practitioners from many different backgrounds—psychologists, social workers, clinical counsellors, nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, and others—the specific rules will vary.

  • Alberta: Psychologists and social workers are required by their colleges to have at least five years of registered practice before offering innovative therapies. All clinicians providing this service in Alberta are required to have training in addition to other requirements.
  • Ontario: There is currently no formal five-year rule, but practitioners must stay within their professional scope and have proper training and supervision.
  • Other Provinces: Standards are evolving and differ by profession and regulatory body.

Important: Completing ATMA CENA’s training programs does not automatically grant permission to practice. Your ability to offer this work will always depend on your professional license, your college’s requirements, and provincial regulations. In every case, the clinic’s medical director is ultimately responsible for ensuring providers are appropriately qualified to deliver these therapies.
