From SSRIs to Psychedelics: Where Your Role Begins and Ends
Join Paul F. Austin and Dave Rabin, M.D., Ph.D., for a live session on the question every practitioner navigates when a client is on SSRIs: what you can do at your credential level, what belongs to the prescriber, and how the two of you work together so your client stays safe and your practice stays protected.

The medication question stops more practitioners than any other
One in eight Americans takes an antidepressant, so sooner or later one of them will sit across from you, ready for everything your work offers.
From that moment, every choice you make lands inside a system most trainings never map: what a coach or guide can hold, what a licensed clinician can add, what stays with the prescriber, and what happens when the prescriber says no.
In this live session, Paul F. Austin and Dr. Dave Rabin walk the full territory with you, so you can work with these clients from clarity instead of guesswork.
Why this session exists
On August 12, more than 500 practitioners joined us live for From SSRIs to Psychedelics: What Happens In Between.
One question came back again and again, in more forms than we could answer in the time we had: where exactly is my line?
Coaches asked it. Therapists asked it. Prescribers asked it from the other side. So instead of answering it in fragments, we built the next session around it.
What You'll Learn:
Where the line sits at each credential level: what a coach or guide can hold, what a licensed clinician adds, and what stays with the prescriber
The role a non-prescriber can play in a client’s taper that is useful, ethical, and defensible
How to open the conversation with your client’s physician so you read as a clinical asset, including the framing Dr. Rabin uses from the prescriber’s side of the table
Why prescribers say no, what changes their mind, and how to keep the client safe when the answer stays no
What to document when a client refuses to taper and wants to proceed anyway, and where informed consent protects you (and where it stops)

Psychedelic Guides & Facilitators
who screen for antidepressants at every intake and want more to offer than a referral out
Coaches
who already attract clients on antidepressants and want a role in their care they can stand behind

ABOUT US
Why Learn From the Psychedelic Coaching Institute?
Now the gold standard in professional psychedelic training, we have taught hundreds of practitioners to master the skill of psychedelics since 2021.
Founder Paul F. Austin recognized a critical gap: more and more well-meaning people were interested in becoming practitioners, but few had the education, hands-on training, ethical clarity, and marketability to become credible and make a positive impact.
The Psychedelic Coaching Institute came into existence to close this gap by training the next generation of psychedelic leaders. We grew from our sister company, Third Wave, which has been a trusted resource for psychedelic education for 10+ years.
Today, we blend science, spirit, and skill to give our certified practitioners a comprehensive toolkit for preparation, facilitation, and integration. Paul’s expertise in intentional microdosing, in particular, guides many of our core methodologies.
We offer two flagship programs:
Rooted in a nervous system-first approach and equipped with entrepreneurial gusto, Psychedelic Coaching Institute practitioners are defining the future of this third wave of psychedelics.
