The KAT Immersive Experience is in-person clinical experience designed for practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of psychedelic-assisted therapy by moving through the process from the client perspective. When joining a group cohort, clinicians will experience the full arc of KAT care, from intake and preparation through dosing sessions and integration, while developing practical insight into intention setting, holding space, and integration approaches.
Please review the course information & cohort dates below, and if you meet all criteria, we invite you to book a call with our student advisor. If appropriate, you will be directed to proceed through our clinical screening and approval. If approved, you’ll be able to join the fixed-date group cohort experience or individual experience!

ATMA CENA offers three distinct training pathways depending on your role. The Clinical Pathway is designed for licensed therapists, psychologists, counsellors, and social workers preparing to deliver psychedelic-assisted therapy directly. The Prescriber Pathway is built for physicians, psychiatrists, and nurse practitioners who want to prescribe, oversee, or refer with confidence. The Integrative Pathway is for wellness professionals — coaches, addictions counsellors, and allied health practitioners — who want to show up informed and ethical in a collaborative care model. Every pathway begins with the same foundational course, so the entry point is the same regardless of your background.
All three pathways begin with Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Foundations — a 21-hour, self-paced online course covering the history, science, ethics, and clinical application of psychedelic-assisted therapy. It’s designed to be accessible to any mental health or wellness professional and earns 21 CE credits upon completion. From there, you move into the advanced course for your specific pathway. The next registration deadline for Foundations is September 30, 2026.
Yes. ATMA CENA’s programs are accredited and eligible for CE or CME credits depending on your designation. The Clinical and Integrative pathways are CE-eligible; the Prescriber Pathway is CME-eligible. Credit counts vary by course — speak with a student advisor for details specific to your credential and province.
Yes. The Psychedelic Therapy Immersive is an optional experiential add-on available to graduates of any advanced pathway. It moves practitioners through the full arc of psychedelic-assisted therapy from the client perspective — intake, preparation, a medically supervised immersive weekend, and integration — in a small group cohort of maximum 10 participants. Clinical screening is required for participation. The next cohort runs June 15–30, 2026 in Calgary. Spots are limited — speak with a student advisor to learn more.
All advanced pathway courses are self-paced and delivered online, so you move through the material on your own schedule. Each course includes live Q&A sessions and small group scenario work at set points, but the core curriculum is designed to fit around a full clinical practice. The Supervised Learning Lab runs as four weekly live sessions of two hours each — the most time-structured component in any pathway — and is capped at eight participants to keep the experience substantive. If you’re considering the Psychedelic Therapy Immersive, that program includes an in-person component in Calgary and requires dedicated time away.
ATMA CENA is both a training organization and an operating clinic network — which means the curriculum is built from the inside out, by practitioners who are actively delivering this work across Canada. Graduates of the Clinical Pathway can enter ATMA CENA’s CoCare model and practice within that network directly, so training doesn’t end at certification. The faculty includes recognized leaders in the field, the programs are accredited for CE and CME credits, and the cohort model is kept deliberately small to prioritize depth over volume. This isn’t a theoretical introduction — it’s preparation for actual practice.
