Episode 244 | Integrating Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Into Your Practice with Christopher Brown

The Group Practice Exchange

Ever wondered how psychedelic-assisted therapy is reshaping mental health treatment?

In this episode, I dove into the transformative realm of psychedelic-assisted therapy with the incredible Christopher Brown. As a social worker and military veteran, Christopher brought a wealth of knowledge from his transition from the VA to his own private practice, where he's pioneering in this field of mental health treatment.

Our conversation was a deep dive into the intricacies of integrating psychedelic-assisted therapy into a group practice. We explored the legalities, the ethical considerations, and the compelling research that's changing the way we look at treatments, especially for conditions like PTSD.

Join us to hear more about:

• Christopher’s transition from the VA to private practice and how his military service informs his work in psychedelic-assisted therapy.

• The current research and the growing evidence base for treatments like MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD.

• The complex legal and ethical issues surrounding the use of psychedelics in therapy.

• The importance of understanding and adhering to current laws to safely integrate these therapies into practice.

• Steps therapists can take to receive specialized training in psychedelic-assisted therapy.

My discussion with Christopher was not just informative but also a clarion call to group practice owners. The potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy is immense, and as we navigate this new terrain, it's essential to do so with diligence, respect for the law, and a commitment to the highest ethical standards.
