CoCare™: Bring Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy into your practice

Partner with our clinical team to deliver safe, supported care — without disrupting your existing practice.

What is CoCare?

CoCare is an evolution of your practice that lets licensed therapists deliver psychedelic-assisted therapy (PaT) with their own clients, inside clinically supported settings.

After completing PaT training, qualified therapists plug into ATMA CENA’s clinic network as needed — bringing their clients into an ATMA CENA corporate or affiliated partner clinic for medicine sessions, while maintaining their existing private practice.

CoCare is a collaborative model of care

With CoCare:

  • You don’t hand your client off — you stay an active participant in their care.
  • You practise within an interdisciplinary care team , delivering PaT safely as a provider.
  • A team manages the medical oversight and delivery of the medicine.

Therapists bring the therapeutic relationship.

ATMA CENA provides the medical oversight and infrastructure.

That’s CoCare.

How therapists like Lauren and Shelane are using CoCare™

It’s really been a supportive environment and has definitely facilitated a smooth transition into medicine-assisted therapy for myself and my client.

Dr. Lauren Birks, PhD, MSW/RSW

I was really excited about being part of the medicine journey as well as the preparation and integration. It was cool that there was an option for that — not just handing my client off to people I don’t know.

Shelane Williams, MC, RPsych, PhD
