American Psychedelic Practitioners Association (APPA) is both the accreditation body for the psychedelic field and the national association for practitioners. Our mission is to safely integrate psychedelics into the US healthcare system.

The American Psychedelic Practitioners Association was born out of the need for a credible, gold-standard professional association to emerge alongside a certification board. In addition to creating a national network of psychedelic practitioners, a professional association is necessary to advocate for the adoption of psychedelic treatments into the healthcare system and to ensure access for all who can safely benefit.
