About Us
About the MDMA Alliance
The International Alliance of MDMA Practitioners, known informally as the MDMA Alliance, is a newly formed, non-profit professional organization for practitioners who offer MDMA-assisted therapy in legal settings. We provide community, connection, and resources for our members, advocate for the right use of MDMA-assisted therapy as the field evolves, set clinical and ethical standards for the field, and offer training and continuing education to practitioners.
Our founding members comprise many of the world’s leading experts on the inner-directed therapy model employed in the MAPS PBC/Lykos Therapeutics-sponsored Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials of MDMA-Assisted Therapy (MDMA-AT) for PTSD.
