We do not really have recommendations for therapists. As a foundation, we specifically focus on scientific research, and a lot more research needs to be done before those substances will be broadly used in therapy, if that will happen at all. 
 
We would like to caution you to consider anyone offering psychedelic-assisted therapy with scrutiny, since some people may offer therapy with psilocybin or ayahuasca without a background in mental health treatment, which may possibly affect patients negatively.
