Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project

Post-Psychedelic Difficulties Practitioner Directory

Licensed / accredited therapists, counsellors & psychiatrists supporting recovery

We are building a public directory of clinicians who support people experiencing difficulties following psychedelic experiences. All licensed / accredited therapists, counsellors and psychiatrists who offer this work are invited to join. Once approved, your profile appears in our psychedelic therapist directory, Find Professional Support.

Coaches: we’re not publicly listing coaches at this time, but coaches who work with post-psychedelic difficulties are warmly invited to sign up to join our network and monthly working group, and to receive our monthly research digest.

How we have helped

'Thank you for your generous consultation about this case -- I can’t tell you how valuable it was for me. I wrote a report and testified to grand jury about this case and included some of the quotes from your study participants about their experiences of derealization. I think those statements were incredibly important in helping the grand jury understand the experience of derealization following using psychedelics. Ultimately, the grand jury dropped the 84 counts of Attempted Murder...He is home with his wife and kids' - Alexander Milkey, forensic psychiatrist in the defence of Joseph Emerson, pilot on trial for trying to crash a plane two days after taking magic mushrooms

'I don't know everything that had to happen for my husband to come across Jules Evans and his work on the topic of Difficult Outcomes, but it felt nothing short of a miracle considering the resource CPEP became for us.' - Julie

How we have helped

'I wanted to thank you again for your support in 2025. I do not think I will ever be able to fully express how much hope it gave me during some of my darkest moments, but I wanted you to know that it truly mattered.'

How we have helped

'I had an ayahuasca experience and afterwards felt anxious and disorientated. This has been a very difficult time. Thankfully I found CPEP's work online; I read the stories from other people who have had challenging psychedelic experiences and eventually attended the support group which CPEP runs. CPEP also helped connect me with an integration therapist who has been immensely helpful. Post psychedelic difficulties are so hard as few people can understand what you are going through; Jules and his support group are a lifeline that helped me feel less out 'at sea' and provided an anchor to help ground you and reduce the sense of isolation and devastation that these experiences can bring. I made some connections with people in the support group and shared tips with one another of what helps. I am extremely grateful that this project exists and feel it is an absolutely essential service, especially as more and more people experiment with psychedelics. Thank-you so much to Jules and his team for all that they do to help and support!' - Clare
