From my understanding therapists can help you “integrate” your experience (post trip) into your everyday life. Having someone to help you figure out how you can apply useful feelings/mindsets you may have had during the experience seems (to me) helpful in maintaining any sort of benefit longer term.

Who and what bestows upon them such powers other than their own claims? The legal research of psychedelics has only recently resumed and is only available to a very select few.

Well, clandestine psychedelic assisted therapy has been going on for at least a few decades and seemed to be largely based on both psychedelic experiences had by the therapist themselves, and trial and error - which you could argue is not too different from shamanic practice.
I’m not sure how much, if any, scientific rigor was applied in the past - I hope that changes.
