If you break down psychic communication into logistical components, you'd need some sort of organ for transmitting brainwaves, and some sort of organ for receiving brain waves, and you'd need parts of the brain for interpreting thoughts received, and likely a different area for converting thoughts into transmissible brain waves.
It's not that dissimilar to what you're describing with pheremones, but I'll do you one better because we already have all that on the electromagnetic spectrum. Sound waves are invisible energy put into the air by specialized organs that are encoded and decoded by different parts of the brain. To any species lacking auditory sensory organs, talking and hearing would be functionally identical to telepathy. We transmit complex thoughts through the air directly from one brain to another, or via telecommunications technology. To another species using telepathy, we would appear to them to be deaf and mute.
