Welcome to The Psychedelic Therapy Training Den!
DORA-Approved Facilitator Training Program - Denver, Colorado
Become a Licensed
Psilocybin Facilitator
The only DORA-approved program that bundles all three licensing requirements — 150-hour curriculum, 40-hour practicum at a licensed healing center, and 50-hour consultation — into one complete Colorado pathway.
One Program.
Everything You Need to License.
Most Colorado training programs sell you the 150-hour curriculum — and then point you elsewhere for practicum and consultation. You're left researching, vetting, and coordinating on your own, often at significant cost and months of delay.
The Psychedelic Therapy Training Den bundles all three DORA-required components into one program, delivered by the same director who designed the curriculum and operates the licensed healing center where your practicum takes place.
One enrollment. One director. One licensed facility. One clear path to your Colorado Natural Medicine Facilitator license — in 15–18 months.
"Once you're enrolled, your path to licensure is clear, scheduled, and supervised. You never have to make those arrangements yourself."

Taught by Practitioners. Built for Licensure.
Colorado has several DORA-approved programs. Most offer 150 hours and leave the rest to you. Here's what makes the Psychedelic Therapy Training Den different.
Our Own Licensed Facility
We operate an active DORA-licensed healing center (NMHC-00048). Your practicum happens there — with real infrastructure, real protocols, and real supervisors who designed your curriculum.
Not outsourcedIFS as the Clinical Backbone
Internal Family Systems maps exceptionally well to altered-state facilitation. Our entire curriculum is built around IFS — so you graduate with a coherent clinical framework, not disconnected techniques.
Primary frameworkDirector Is a Practicing CF
Michael P. Biggans is an active Colorado Natural Medicine Clinical Facilitator — not an academic or researcher. He facilitates at the same healing center where you'll complete your practicum.

One program cost covers your entire path from first class to licensure application — typically saving $2,000–$5,000 over piecing the three phases from separate programs.

Small enough that your director knows your work and development. Large enough for genuine peer learning and the group cohesion that makes the consultation phase meaningful.
