Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York hosts the Parsons Research Center for Psychedelic Healing, founded by Rachel Yehuda, a psychiatrist known for three decades of work on PTSD and the biology of trauma. The centre grew out of a 2021 gift from the Bob and Renee Parsons Foundation and was expanded and renamed in 2024 with further funding and a purpose-built facility in Upper Manhattan. Working closely with the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx, its researchers test MDMA-assisted therapy for veterans with PTSD and psilocybin for civilians, and are developing protocols for delivering MDMA within group psychotherapy. The programme pairs clinical trials with training designed to prepare therapists for supervised psychedelic-assisted care.
