Will Van Derveer, MD is a psychiatrist and leader in the field of integrative mental health care. After starting a psychiatry practice in 2002, Dr. Van Derveer soon discovered the grave limitations of the conventional version of psychiatry he had learned. Over the next decade of clinical care, he introduced integrative interventions such as gut-brain axis interventions, microbiome analysis, hormone balancing, mindfulness practice, exercise and diet prescriptions, as well as psychedelic therapy into his work. He co-founded Integrative Psychiatry Institute (IPI) to deliver education for mental health practitioners in advanced tools for resolving the root causes of symptoms often missed in conventional care settings. The IPI psychedelic-assisted therapy training is the gold standard training in this emerging field, having graduated more than 2500 licensed professionals. Dr. Van Derveer’s innovations in the field of integrative mental healthcare are fueled by his conviction that anyone can heal if provided the right combination of support. In addition to his clinical practice and teaching, he has staffed several studies sponsored by Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, investigating MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for chronic, treatment-resistant PTSD. Dr. Van Derveer and IPI co-founder Keith Kurlander co-host the the Higher Practice Podcast for optimal mental health, and co-authored Psychedelic Therapy, with a foreword by Gabor Mate, due to be published by Shambhala Publications in early 2026. He lives in Boulder, Colorado where he loves to get outside with his wife and dogs.
