The People Behind the Mission

Who Founded Mindscape Psychedelic Institute?

Mindscape Psychedelic Institute is led by Stephan Kerby and Amber Kerby, LMFT. Together they lead professional trainings for therapists, facilitators, and guides seeking stronger standards around ethics, integration, and grounded psychedelic practice.

Stephan and Amber Kerby

Stephan brings facilitation depth. Amber brings clinical rigor. Between the two of us, we cover each other's blind spots.

Stephan Kerby

Stephan Kerby

Co-Founder & Lead Educator

My own experience with entheogens changed the direction of my life. I wanted to make sure other people could access that safely — and that the people guiding them actually knew what they were doing.

What Is Mindscape Institute's Mission?

The bar for psychedelic education is too low. People are facilitating ceremonies after weekend workshops. Clinicians are offering ketamine therapy after watching a webinar. We build training programs that take longer, ask more of you, and hold you accountable after you graduate — because this work is too consequential for shortcuts.

What Our Graduates Say

Selected reflections from clinicians, facilitators, and graduates who have moved through Mindscape trainings.

I went in expecting another certification checkbox. By month three I was rethinking how I run my own practice. Stephan's framework forced me to confront things about my facilitation style that no supervisor had ever named.

D

Dr. Sarah Mitchell

Clinical Psychologist

I looked at five other 5-MeO trainings before choosing this one. The difference was the ethics curriculum. It wasn't a single module tacked on at the end. It ran through everything. And the alumni group is still the first place I go when I hit a hard case.

E

Elena Rodriguez

Integration Coach

Fifteen years in psychiatry and I almost didn't sign up. The safety curriculum changed my mind. It felt unusually rigorous compared with other professional trainings I've experienced. That surprised me.

D

Dr. James Patterson

Psychiatrist

I do somatic work for a living, so I'm skeptical when anyone claims their training is 'embodied.' This one actually was. The nervous system regulation exercises during live sessions made the difference between understanding the material and knowing it in my body.

L

Lisa Thompson

Somatic Therapist

I didn't expect the mentorship phase to matter as much as it did. The live training gave me the framework, but the six months after, the case discussions, the hard questions from other students, that is where the framework became lived practice for me.

D

David Kim

Certified Entheogenic Guide

I've reviewed psychedelic training programs as part of my research. Most of them teach technique and skip ethics, or the other way around. Stephan and Amber do both, and the mentorship after graduation made the training feel accountable, not merely credentialed.

D

Dr. Amanda Foster

Researcher & Clinician

I was the least experienced person in my cohort and I was nervous about that. It never became a problem. The way Stephan handles questions from beginners, without condescension or rushing, taught me as much about facilitation as the actual curriculum did.

R

Rachel Green, MA

Mental Health Counselor

The MDMA content on session pacing and dysregulation response filled gaps I didn't know I had. I'd read the MAPS manual cover to cover, but this training showed me what it actually looks like when a session goes sideways and you have to hold steady.

D

Dr. Robert Hayes

Psychotherapist

I've done four other facilitator trainings. This was one of the few that challenged me in a way that felt useful and precise. The ethics discussions got personal. The cohort pushed each other. I left with colleagues I actually trust, not just a certificate.

J

Jennifer Walsh

Retreat Facilitator

I work in end-of-life care. After completing the 5-MeO facilitation training, I finally had a framework for what I've been witnessing for years: the threshold states my patients enter near death. Mindscape gave language and structure to something I always felt but couldn't articulate.

C

Chloe Andersen, RN

Palliative Care Nurse

I've worked in addiction medicine for fifteen years. What Mindscape offers is one of the few trainings I've seen that stays with the deeper layers of identity, nervous system, and integration instead of stopping at mechanism. The MDMA content alone changed how I understand healing.

D

Dr. Marcus Webb

Addiction Medicine Physician

As a breathwork facilitator, I thought I understood altered states. The Mindscape training showed me how much I didn't know about holding them safely. The ethics module alone was worth the full investment.

T

Tayla Okafor

Breathwork Facilitator

Amber's way of teaching changed how I understand attunement and therapeutic relationship. The way she teaches, responds, and holds the container taught me more than any textbook I had read.

N

Naomi Castillo, LMFT

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

I enrolled cautious and left convinced. The safety curriculum, the quality of instruction, and the ethical seriousness of the program stood apart from many trainings I had reviewed. It felt exacting in the right ways.

What Sets Our Training Apart

Four things we do differently.

Certified & Credentialed

Our programs meet clinical certification standards. You leave with credentials that actually mean something to licensing boards and employers.

Mentorship Beyond the Course

Six months of live training, then six months of mentorship with case supervision and direct access to experienced facilitators. The cohort stays connected after that. Most of our alumni groups are still active years later.

Trauma-Informed Container

Every session is built on nervous system regulation and somatic awareness. We don’t lecture about safety from a slide deck. We practice it in the room.

Ethics First

Consent, boundaries, and accountability run through the entire curriculum. Most programs save ethics for one module at the end. We start there.
