## About

Based in New York, US, and founded in 2019 by its CEO, Dr. Ingmar Gorman, and CVO, Dr. Elizabeth Nielson, Psychedlic Support, Inc., DBA Fluence Training, offers certificate programs in psychedelic integration and psychedelic-assisted therapy for psychiatrists, psychotherapists, social workers, and other healthcare practitioners. In February 2022, Fluence raised USD 1.4 million in seed funding from new investors Baroda Ventures, LearnStart, Evolve Ventures, and Iter Investments, with participation from individual investors. As of March 2022, the company has 1,000 practitioners on its platform.

The Fluence platform offers self-placed training and courses that focus on various psychological concepts. The company has established a Diversity Fund through a fiscal sponsorship agreement with Access Mindfulness, a 501c3 devoted to diversity in education in contemplative practices. Its certificates in Psychedelic Integration Therapy and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy are designed to teach clinicians to engage in Psychedelic Integration Therapy in clinical settings and to apply the basics of psychedelic-assisted therapy to KAP. Fluence has also developed partnerships with drug developers to develop psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy manuals and custom training programs for clinical trial therapists.

Fluence plans to use the seed funding to launch new courses, training, and psychedelic therapy certificate programs, and expand its e-learning platform.
