There are already multiple training programs for people interested in professional psychedelic therapy. I expect such programs to grow and new, rigorous ones to be developed, but I generally don’t think lack of of therapists will be a bottle neck. I think the challenges for scaling will be more in terms of paying for the treatment model by insurance, and governments programs such as Medicare and the VA. And as discussed in another response, I think cheaper treatment models need exploration, for example group therapy.
You may be interested in looking at Fluence and Polaris for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy training and the MAPS MDMA-assisted psychotherapy trainings.

Are there training programs you’d recommend for those who are wanting/ready to explore this field like myself? Any resources would be great!
