Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy for Workers’ Compensation Clients in Alberta
If you’ve been off work for a while and your recovery has stalled — you’re not alone, and you’re not out of options.
ATMA CENA offers a medically supervised mental health program for people navigating the Workers’ Compensation system, when standard treatments haven’t been enough.
This Might Be Right for You If:
You are off of work due to depression, PTSD, anxiety, trauma or chronic pain
You are receiving Workers’ Compensation benefits in Alberta
You have tried therapy or medication but haven’t improved enough
Your symptoms are still getting in the way of returning to work
Your doctor or therapist has suggested looking into further options
We work with individuals and their healthcare providers to determine whether options such as psychedelic-assisted therapy may be appropriate.
The PAT Process Through WCB Coverage
1A confidential information call — no commitment required
2An intake and screening call with one of our practitioners
3An in-person medical assessment
It’s important to note that coverage is not guaranteed and approval times can vary. Decisions are made by Workers’ Compensation based on your individual case.
If you’re approved, your family doctor and existing therapist stay involved.
We work alongside your current team — not instead of them.
Who We See
We work with people who are stuck and haven’t been able to get back to work despite trying. This includes:
First responders, healthcare workers, and frontline workers seeking PTSD treatment
Individuals with occupational stress injuries who haven’t improved with standard treatment
People in high-pressure jobs who haven’t improved with therapy and medication
Anyone whose recovery has plateaued and who needs a fresh clinical perspective
You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out. That’s what the first call is for.

Where is treatment available?+
ATMA CENA offers in-person psychedelic-assisted therapy in Edmonton and Calgary. You’ll need to be able to attend sessions at one of these locations.
How long does WCB approval take?+
Approval decisions typically take one to four weeks, though timelines can vary depending on your case and how quickly documentation is gathered.
How do I get my doctor to refer me?+
You can share our referral form directly with your physician or therapist — we’ve made it simple for them to submit. If your doctor wants to speak with one of our clinicians first, we welcome that conversation too.
I already have a doctor and therapist. Do I have to switch?+
No. We work alongside your existing healthcare team, not instead of them. Your family doctor and therapist stay involved throughout your treatment.
What if WCB doesn’t approve my application?+
Some private health insurance plans cover psychedelic-assisted therapy. If WCB approval isn’t granted, we can discuss what other coverage options may be available to you.
What does ATMA CENA help with during the application process?+
We can help prepare clinical documentation to support your WCB case manager’s review, coordinate with your existing healthcare providers, and ensure your treatment history is presented clearly. Our goal is to make this as straightforward as possible for you.
Do I need to apply for coverage before starting treatment?+
Yes. WCB clients need to go through an approval process before treatment begins. Our team will walk you through every step — from your initial information call through to clinical documentation — so you’re not navigating it alone.
