Psychedelic\u2010assisted therapy (PAT) is emerging as a mental health and substance use treatment modality. As interest grows, understanding PSWs\u2019 perspectives on PAT is critical to inform safe and effective implementation, and the potential role PSWs can play in models of care. This study examined factors shaping PSWs\u2019 perspectives toward PAT and perceived barriers to its adoption and implementation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A mixed methods design was employed. A cross\u2010sectional survey informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) captured PSWs\u2019 perceptions of PAT and potential barriers to its use. This was followed by semi\u2010structured interviews with five survey participants. Interview transcripts were analyzed to provide a qualitative description and identify topics and patterns to enrich and contextualize the survey findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Survey responses indicated strong PSW support for PAT, with most participants expressing willingness to recommend it to clients. Qualitative findings expanded on this interest, highlighting concerns around client safety, psychoeducation, stigma, and accessibility. The qualitative description of interview results identified key influences on PSWs\u2019 attitudes toward PAT, complementing survey results and aligning with existing literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/brb3.71521","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,1]],"date-time":"2026-06-01T05:17:13Z","timestamp":1780291033000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Missing Voice?
