Frequently Asked Questions
Psychedelic Integration, or Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration—also known as PHRI—is a client-centered approach to working with people in a clinical setting who have had or are considering having a psychedelic experience in any context—including therapeutic, spiritual, peer-led, or alone. For a more detailed response on this modality, including Fluence’s role in helping define it, please see this page.
No, Fluence does not provide clinical services. Fluence is an education program that aims to increase the availability of trained providers that can provide competent and ethical services in your local community. We can’t provide direct referrals to people who are seeking MDMA or psilocybin-assisted therapy services as this type of therapy is currently only available through clinical trials at this time. However, we can refer you to our certificate program graduates, who are trained to do ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration, or facilitate Psilocybin sessions in Oregon. Please reach out to naomi@fluencetraining.com for more information.
Depending on the compound there may be a legal avenue to do so either by participating in a research trial, receiving treatment (as a patient with an approved condition) with a currently available psychedelic (e.g. ketamine), becoming a client of a licensed Psilocybin Facilitator in Oregon, or traveling abroad. Fluence will provide referrals to licensed providers where available.
We do not provide academic credit.
We work with a variety of community partners to bring our trainings to their organizations. Our programs can be open to the public or private for the members of your organization, and tailored to suit your community’s needs. If you would like to collaborate on holding a training locally, please email us and we’ll start the conversation.
