About PATA
Education, collaboration, and best practices in psilocybin-assisted therapy.
The Psilocybin Assisted Therapy Association exists to address the global mental health crisis through the professionalized, evidence-based application of psilocybin-assisted therapy — integrated into the healthcare landscape as a safe, standard therapeutic modality.
PATA believes all professionals and seekers should be educated to empower a personal, informed decision about their involvement in PAT. Education and empowerment lead to increased mental health — healing — for seekers. Choosing not to use psilocybin is itself an acceptable and often responsible outcome of that process.
Core Values
Healing Outcomes
Improved mental health is the absolute metric of success — addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use. Objectives stay clinical and humanitarian, never financial.
The Healing Journey
Psilocybin is one component of a longitudinal process — preparation, multiple sessions, and robust integration through meditation, journaling, and art therapy.
Harm-Reduction
Empowerment through information is our primary safety mechanism, educating LMHPs and seekers that therapeutic benefit isn't tied to high dosages.
Psilocybin-Exclusivity
PATA focuses exclusively on psilocybin, recognizing its non-addictive nature and medical potential to streamline state-regulated approval.
Cultural Respect
PATA acknowledges psilocybin's indigenous history and holds that indigenous practices must not be used outside their original cultural context.
Scope of Practice
Integrity in care requires LMHPs, Psychedelic Professionals, and Paraprofessionals to each operate strictly within their area of expertise.
Issues Being Addressed
01
The Burden of Stigma
Basic education for the public and government is promoted to reduce the societal stigma associated with psilocybin and psychedelics.
02
Lack of Best Practices
Establishing national standards for PAT, centered on reducing harm to all involved while remaining focused on healing outcomes.
03
Lack of Core Education
Entry-level professional and community education is needed to empower informed personal choice around PAT and psilocybin.
Sponsorship
Six tiers, one shared mission.
Every tier funds education, collaboration, and healing outcomes across the Collaborence network.
