Your clients are already microdosing
The question isn’t whether you approve. It’s whether you’re competent when it comes up.
Clinical Microdosing Integration Training – a 16-week certification for licensed therapists and counselors who want to support clients through self-directed microdosing with actual clinical skill: screening, psychopharmacology, treatment planning, documentation, and ethics.
You’ll complete the full 90-day protocol yourself, alongside your cohort, while you learn to guide it.
16 WEEKS · LICENSED CLINICIANS ONLY · 8 SEATS · BEGINS JANUARY 13, 2027
Founding cohort rate through November 15. Applications close December 18, 2026.
The situation
Here’s what usually happens.
A client mentions, somewhere around minute forty, that a friend gave them some capsules and they’ve been taking them on Mondays and Thursdays and honestly they feel better than they have in two years.
And something in you goes very still.
Because you have questions. You want to know what’s in the capsules. You want to know whether they’re on an SSRI and what that means. You want to know if there’s any family history of bipolar disorder you should be worried about. You want to know whether you’re supposed to document this, and how, and what happens to that documentation if it ever gets subpoenaed. You want to know whether saying anything supportive puts your license at risk, and whether saying nothing puts your client at risk.
So you say something careful. Something like “tell me more about that.” And you make a note that you’ll figure it out later.
Later doesn’t come, because there’s nowhere obvious to go. The research literature is thin and mixed. The trainings are mostly built for coaches. Your consultation group has opinions but not protocols. And the entire topic sits in a legal grey zone that nobody wants to be the first to write down.
Meanwhile your client keeps microdosing. They’re just no longer bringing it up.
None of that is a failure of clinical skill. It’s a gap in available training, and it’s a gap almost every therapist I know is standing in. Psilocybin didn’t come up in your graduate program, and the field hasn’t caught up to what’s already happening in your caseload.
But it does mean the person in the room with actual clinical training ends up outside the conversation – and the client goes looking for guidance somewhere with worse screening practices and better search rankings.
That’s the gap this training is built to close.
The program
What this training is
A 16-week microdosing training for therapists and counselors, built for one purpose: so that when a client is microdosing, you know exactly what to do.
Not vaguely supportive. Not carefully neutral. Competent – with a screening protocol, a contraindication framework, a working knowledge of the medication interactions, a treatment plan you can defend, chart language that is both honest and prudent, and a body of firsthand experience underneath all of it.
01
Everyone in the room is licensed.
This isn’t open to coaches, guides or wellness practitioners – not because that work lacks value, but because a mixed room forces the teaching to keep stopping and start over. Everyone learns less. Here we begin from the assumption that you have a diagnostic vocabulary, a chart, a license to protect, and a board that would like a word if this goes sideways. Everything is pitched to that standard, and nothing gets watered down for the room.
02
It’s actually clinical.
Most microdosing facilitator trainings – including the expensive ones – say plainly in their own materials that they do not teach diagnosis, clinical protocols, or medication considerations. That’s an honest disclosure and I respect it. It also means those programs cannot answer the questions you actually have.
This one teaches psychopharmacology and medication interactions, absolute versus relative contraindications, screening interview structure, assessment and repeated measures, adverse event protocol, treatment planning, documentation and charting, scope of practice, and the federal/state legal gap.
03
You do the protocol yourself.
Not a demonstration. Not a weekend immersion. The full 90 days, synchronized with your cohort, using the same tracking log and the same weekly structure you can offer your clients.
I want clinicians who know what week six feels like. Who have had the experience of a protocol that needed adjusting and had to figure out how they knew. Who understand from the inside why the tracking matters and why people stop doing it around day forty.
If personal dosing isn’t right for you – medically, legally, or personally – there’s a Didactic Track that covers the entire clinical curriculum without it. More on that in the FAQ.
Fit
Who this is for
This is for you if
- You’re a licensed therapist or mental health clinician – LPC, LCSW, LMFT, PsyD, PhD, PMHNP, LAC or equivalent – with an active license in good standing
- Clients have raised microdosing with you and you’ve felt the gap between what you know and what they’re asking
- You want to integrate this into the practice you already have, rather than build a new career
- You’re willing to do your own 90 days, and you understand why that’s the point
- You’d rather learn the boring parts – the screening, the interactions, the charting – than only the beautiful parts
- You’re comfortable holding real clinical rigor and genuine reverence for the medicine in the same hand, without collapsing into either one
This probably isn’t for you if
- You’re not licensed. This one has a hard line. I’d point you toward a coaching-track training instead – there are good ones
- You’re looking for training to administer psilocybin or sit with clients during dosing. That’s a different scope and a different program (see the FAQ)
- You want a weekend certificate. This is sixteen weeks and there’s homework. Here, you’re building your own relationship and internal understanding of the medicine – not regurgitating ChatGPT
- You’re hoping for a program that treats psilocybin as a pharmaceutical with a fancier origin story. That’s not the framework here
Curriculum · Part one
The clinical curriculum
Three live clinical workshops for licensed therapists, three hours each, Saturday mornings.
Workshop One
Foundations
Saturday, January 9, 2027 · 3 hours
The mechanism and the evidence, honestly told – including where the research is genuinely weak and how to talk about that with a client who read a headline. Dosing science and the major protocols. How to build an individualized protocol rather than handing someone a schedule. Tracking as a clinical instrument. Set, setting, ritual and intention – and why those aren’t soft additions but outcome variables.
Your own 90-day protocol begins the following Wednesday.
Workshop Two
Screening, Psychopharmacology & Risk
Saturday, February 20, 2027 · 3 hours
Absolute versus relative contraindications and how to hold each one. Personal and family psychosis-spectrum and Bipolar I history. Cardiac considerations. Seizure history. Pregnancy and lactation. The medication conversation in real depth – SSRIs and SNRIs, MAOIs, lithium, tricyclics, antipsychotics, stimulants, tramadol – what’s documented, what’s theoretical, and how to talk about it without practicing medicine.
The referral decision – when a prescriber must be involved, when they need not be, and what to do when your client asks you not to contact theirs. Structuring a screening interview. Choosing an assessment battery. Recognizing an adverse event and what to do at 9pm on a Saturday.
Workshop Three
Ethics, Law & Documentation
Saturday, March 27, 2027 · 3 hours
The workshop nobody else teaches, and the one that keeps you practicing.
Scope of practice – what “supporting a client who microdoses” is and, precisely, what it isn’t. The federal/state gap and how Schedule I status interacts with Colorado’s Natural Medicine Health Act, Oregon’s framework, and the majority of states where none of that applies. Documentation: how to chart self-directed use honestly without creating unnecessary liability. Informed consent. Duty to warn. Boundaries and disclosure around your own use. Malpractice coverage and psychedelic exclusions. Advertising ethics. Cultural humility, indigenous lineage, and reciprocity as a practice rather than a paragraph.
Two of its three hours are designated ethics; two more ethics hours are woven through Weeks 2, 6, 9 and 12.
Curriculum · Part two
The experiential curriculum
Thirteen weekly group sessions, Wednesday evenings, running the full length of your protocol. You attend these as a participant – doing the work, not observing it – and each week closes with a facilitator lens: how this session is run, what tends to surface, where it goes sideways, and what the clinical judgment call actually is.
Weeks 1–4 · SELF
Inner parts work. Worthiness and self-worth wounds. Nervous system support, nutrition and embodiment. Intuition, energetics, and the difference between an intuitive signal and an anxiety signal – which turns out to be a clinical skill, not a mystical one.
Weeks 5–6 · OTHERS
Unmasking, belonging, and the role of connection in sustained wellbeing. Protective patterns in relationship. Boundaries as reclaimed power rather than defended territory.
Weeks 7–8 · NATURE
Earthing and grounding. The healing relationship with plants. Stacking with herbs and supplements. Rooting a practice in lunar, seasonal and menstrual cycles – and cycle-aware protocol design, which almost nothing in the literature addresses.
Weeks 9–11 · SPIRIT
Plant spirit, sacred reciprocity, and reverence. Grief and letting go – which arrives in this work whether or not anyone planned for it. Then meaning, purpose and joy as dimensions of healing distinct from symptom relief. Releasing before arriving, so the joy is earned rather than interrupted.
Weeks 12–13 · TRUST & SUSTAINABILITY
Moving from protocol-following to intuitive dosing, and what that trust unlocks. Reviewing ninety days of data. Building a sustainability plan that outlasts the container.
Four data check-ins are woven through – at the close of each pillar – so protocol review stays continuous rather than getting saved for the end.
Weeks 14–16
Then you turn around and face the other direction
Weeks 14 & 15 – Training Focus Groups. You present your case practicum, receive feedback, and give structured feedback of your own on the client-facing protocol from a clinician’s eye. Week 15 also carries its own teaching: administering the post-assessment and reading 90-day change, and how to deliver the program you are now certified to run. Founding cohort trainees are shaping the program that later cohorts will receive – that’s a term of your enrollment agreement, and a meaningful part of what the founding rate buys.
Week 16 – Closing Ceremony & Certification. We close the way the client program closes – with ceremony rather than administration. Certificates are issued here.
You’ll build two complete clinical files
Certification isn’t an attendance award. You’ll produce a full practicum portfolio on two cases: your own 90 days, and an assigned composite case designed to include the complications you’d rather not meet for the first time in your office.
For each: a screening summary, a documented contraindication analysis, informed consent, documentation and a set of progress notes in defensible language, an adverse event plan, and a termination and sustainability plan.
Every portfolio receives individualized written feedback against a competency rubric. You’ll certify when you meet it.
What you leave with
You don’t leave with a course.
You leave with a program.
Every trainee is approved to use the complete Embodied Microdosing toolkit in their own practice:
- The client workbook – the full 90-day participant workbook, session by session
- Screening and intake instruments – including the contraindication framework
- The assessment battery – pre, post, and repeated measures
- Informed consent and legal acknowledgment forms – written for this specific situation
- The 90-day tracking log – including cycle-aware tracking
- Thirteen session facilitator guides – with timings, prompts, meditations and discussion structure
- Treatment plan templates and progress note language
- The sourcing conversation guide – how to have it, and where the line is
- Adverse event protocol
- The annotated resource library – research, readings, and client handouts
- The Prescriber Referral Network – a directory of prescribers open to consultation and client referrals
You could run your first client cohort the month after you certify. Several of you probably will.
About CE credit
Straight answer: this program is not currently approved for formal CE credit. However, it does qualify for Colorado’s Natural Medicine Facilitator requirements for continuing education related to psychedelics., including the ethics portion.
The program is 35.5 instructional hours, of which 4.0 are designated ethics – delivered as three blocks inside the Ethics, Law & Documentation workshop, plus four thirty-minute modules woven into Weeks 2, 6, 9 and 12. Your certificate itemizes all seven by module and date, so if your board asks where the hours came from, you can show them line by line.
The ethics hours are spread out on purpose. Four hours of ethics on one Saturday produces compliance and not much else. Placed next to the clinical content each module actually comments on, the same four hours change how you practice.
Continuing education acceptance is always determined by your own board. If you’re enrolling specifically for CE, confirm applicability with your licensing body first.
You won’t be sending clients into a void
A real part of this training is learning where your scope ends – when a medication question stops being yours and becomes a prescriber’s. That teaching only works if there’s somewhere to send people.
So you also leave with access to the Prescriber Referral Network: a directory of prescribers who’ve agreed to take general consultation questions from clinicians trained in this program, and to see referred clients who need medication support, including taper questions.
You’ll learn the distinction that makes it usable – consultation (a general clinical question, no client identified, no release needed) versus referral (an identified client, release required).
No other microdosing training I’m aware of offers this, and it’s the difference between a scope boundary you understand and one you can actually practise inside.
Your instructor
Who’s teaching this
I’m Jessica Eden, LCSW, LAC, ADS, NMIT – founder of Intuitive Life Wellness, a holistic psychotherapy and wellness practice specializing in psychedelic therapy and wellness in Colorado.
I’m a NADA Registered Trainer and a licensed clinical social worker and addiction counselor. I’ve been working in psilocybin-assisted practice since 2022, and I’ve logged over 500 facilitation hours across individual, group and couples settings. My practice operates integrates psilocybin- and ketamine-assisted therapy, acudetox, plant medicine guidance, and clinician training.
I built this program because I kept getting the same call from colleagues: a client just told me they’re microdosing, what do I do. There was no good place to send them. There still mostly isn’t.
I’ll say the thing I say in every room: I’m skeptical of how quickly this field is being medicalized and commodified, and I don’t think the answer to that is to pretend rigor and reverence are opposites. This training holds both. That’s the whole design.

About the founding rate
The founding rate isn’t a sale. It’s an exchange.
Founding trainees receive $1,000 off in return for three specific things: full participation in the Weeks 14-15 focus groups, a written testimonial with permission to use it, and detailed structured feedback on the client-facing protocol from a clinician’s perspective. It’s real work and it’s written into your enrollment agreement.
I’d rather pay you honestly for shaping the program than pretend to discount it.
What the price includes
35.5 hours of live, small-group instruction with me. Roughly 66 total program hours. A 1:1 clinical intake and individualized protocol design session. The complete clinical microdosing toolkit, licensed for your practice. Individualized written feedback on your practicum portfolio. Certification and the alumni pathway.
For context: the leading microdosing facilitator training runs about $4,900 – and states in its own materials that it does not teach diagnosis, clinical protocols, or medication considerations, and admits non-clinicians. Full psychedelic-therapy certificate programs run $8,000–12,000 over nine to twelve months. This sits deliberately between them: focused, clinical, and finishable inside one season.
Does not include the cost of your own medicine, which you source yourself. We’ll talk about that in your intake session.

FAQ
Questions people actually ask
Does this certify me to give psilocybin to clients, or sit with them during a session?
No, and I want to be unambiguous about that. This certification covers supporting clients who microdose on their own, outside of session. Administering, dosing in session, or sitting with a client during an experience is a different scope with different legal requirements – in Colorado that means licensure through the Natural Medicine Division and a state-approved facilitator training. That’s a separate, more advanced program and it’s on my roadmap – coming soon!
Is this legal? Am I putting my license at risk?
Two separate questions, and they deserve separate answers.
The training is education. Learning about psilocybin, screening, contraindications and documentation is legal everywhere.
The personal 90-day protocol is not. Psilocybin is a Schedule I substance federally and illegal to possess in most states, with narrow exceptions in places like Colorado and Oregon. You would be sourcing and using it at your own discretion and your own legal risk. This program does not supply, administer, or help you obtain any controlled substance. I ask every applicant to acknowledge this explicitly, and I’d rather you take it seriously than take it lightly. If it’s not a risk you’re willing to hold, take the Didactic Track – I’ll think no less of you, and the clinical curriculum is identical.
Your license is what the four documented ethics-and-law hours are for, because “is this a risk” is the wrong question and “how do I manage this risk competently” is the right one.
What’s the Didactic Track?
If you screen out of personal dosing – for medical, psychiatric, legal or personal reasons – you can complete the entire clinical curriculum without the protocol. You attend everything, do all the clinical work, complete the practicum, and receive a certificate designated Didactic Track. Same rigor, same content, different personal component. Tell me at application and we’ll talk it through.
I’m not in Colorado. Does this still work for me?
Yes for the clinical training, which is not state-specific. Workshop Three covers the legal landscape across frameworks – Colorado, Oregon, decriminalized municipalities, and the majority of states where none of that applies – because many of you may have telehealth clients or licenses in more than one state. What differs by state is your personal legal exposure during the protocol, and we address that individually in your intake.
I’m on an SSRI. Can I still do this?
Most likely – it’s one of the most common questions and there’s no blanket answer, which is exactly why we spend so long on it in Workshop Two. Note it on your application and we’ll discuss it in a follow-up conversation before you enroll. It’s also one of the primary combinations you’ll see with clients wanting to microdose, and that discussion and training is a part of the psychopharmacology workshop and this program
What if I miss a session?
Weekly sessions are recorded, and you can miss two of the thirteen and still certify. Workshops are not recorded for make-up except in genuine emergency, and you can only make up one of the three. The closing ceremony is required. It’s a container; too many gaps and it stops being one.
How much time per week, realistically?
The 90-minute weekly session, plus about 90 minutes of self-study, reading and tracking. Workshop weeks add 3 hours on a Saturday morning. The practicum portfolio is roughly 8 hours total across the program, and you can spread it out. Call it 2-3 hours a week on average, give or take.
Do I get materials I can use with my own clients?
Yes – the complete toolkit, licensed for use in your practice. Workbook, screening tools, assessment battery, consent forms, tracking log, all thirteen session facilitator guides, treatment plan templates and progress note language. That license is for your own practice use; it doesn’t extend to training other clinicians or reselling the materials.
Is there a payment plan, and what’s the refund policy?
There’s a payment plan at every tier: a $450 deposit at acceptance, then four monthly installments on the first of the month, January through April.
The deposit is non-refundable once your seat is held, because holding a seat in an eight-person cohort has a real cost. The full policy is in the enrollment agreement and I’ll send it before you pay anything. If you screen out during intake for a health reason, you’re refunded in full or moved to the Didactic Track – your choice. And if the cohort doesn’t reach its minimum of four attendees, or the program is cancelled due to facilitator reasons, everyone is refunded in full, deposit included.
Can I talk to you before I apply?
Yes. Email me at jessica@intuitivelifewellness.com with any questions and we’ll chat through them. I’d rather have a short conversation than have you guess.
A free clinical guide
Not ready to apply? Take the guide.
Supporting a Client Who Microdoses is the practical part of this training, written up as a quick reference for licensed clinicians. It’s free, and covers the following:
- The contraindication framework – absolute and relative
- The medication interactions that actually matter, with the strength of the evidence stated for each
- When to involve a prescriber – and when doing it costs you client trust for no clinical gain
- Five ways to phrase a progress note
- What the research actually shows, including the inconvenient parts
A small room, on purpose.
Eight seats isn’t a scarcity tactic – it’s the number at which sixteen weeks of shared work still functions as a container. A room where everyone has done their own ninety days is a particular kind of room, and it doesn’t survive being scaled.
If you’ve been quietly wondering how to do this well, this is the training I wished existed when colleagues started calling.
Take your time with the decision. Sixteen weeks is a real commitment and I’d rather you arrive certain.
Applications are reviewed as they come in, through December 18, 2026. Questions first? Email jessica@intuitivelifewellness.com.
This training is education. It does not supply, administer, or assist in obtaining any controlled substance, and it does not certify anyone to administer psilocybin or to sit with a client during a dosing session. Psilocybin remains a Schedule I substance under federal law. The program is not currently approved by NBCC, NASW or APA; continuing education acceptance is determined by your own licensing board. Enrollment terms are set out in the enrollment agreement, which is sent before any payment is requested.
