Our vision and mission

Advance the use of psychedelics, contributing to the enrichment of the human experience
Our Mission

Why choose ATMA
ATMA offers a practitioner-centred approach to the psychedelic industry. We care about improving the personal and professional lives of healthcare practitioners, as this lays the foundation for delivering effective healthcare for all.
At ATMA, we understand your time constraints, which is why we take a practical approach to supporting the adoption of psychedelic-assisted therapy. While training and education are important parts of our program, we believe additional guidance is crucial for helping practitioners overcome a steep learning curve and confidently step into offering psychedelic therapy. We provide a guided path along with support services to take practitioners from training to offering psychedelic therapy to on-the-job learning so you can become an effective psychedelic practitioner.
