Daniel McQueen, MA

Psychedelic Therapy and Consulting Specialties: 

In addition to writing, training guides and facilitating groups, I specialize in guiding clients through short term psychedelic intensives, particularly in 2-3 day intensives with accompanying preparation and integration support. I also offer specialized consulting for business executives and organizations interested in psychedelic therapy.

My calling as a Psychedelic Guide is to support my clients as they step into their highest and deepest expressions of Self. This requires transforming our past into fuel for our future potential, and the hard task of living into that potential. I support my clients by being a bridge between how their lives have been to how they want it to be.

Hourly Rate: $350

My time is limited so I am specifically working with people who choose intensives that include DMT guided sessions. Follow this link to submit an inquiry form to work with me at the Center for Medicinal Mindfulness.

For other consultations and inquiries outside of psychedelic therapy, please schedule a full hour with me at $300/hr.

As the executive director, my time is limited, but I do take a small number of clients seeking to work with DMT intensives only. I strongly recommend any of our experienced practitioners for psychedelic therapy. You might want to work with me if:

  • You’d like my expert opinion on good next steps, and are interested in working with me, or open to working with another guide on my team at a lower rate
  • You’re ready to do deep, transformational healing work and are prepared for life transforming experiences
  • You’re an activist, trendsetter, entrepreneur or advanced spiritual practitioner who is ready to manifest their calling 
  • You’re a practitioner or entrepreneur looking for expert level consultations in the field of cannabis and psychedelic therapy
  • You are an aspiring psychedelic professional ready to launch your practice

*Please note: Psychedelic Therapy is not for everyone. We will not provide services to you unless we believe it is physically and psychologically safe for you, and unless we believe you are likely to greatly benefit from investing in this work. We have a very thorough screening process because your safety and well-being are our priorities. 

Educational Background

I have a Masters degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University (2012). I have over 25 years of transformational and healing arts experience, having studied multiple spiritual and psychological traditions, including advanced training in energy healing, transformational alchemy, and shamanic practices. I was educated by advanced psychedelic legacy practitioners with a variety of psychedelics.  I am also trained in MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy by the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (2011). Additionally, I hold CPR certification and am trained in end-of-life Hospice support services, psychedelic mental health crisis intervention and suicide intervention training. Please see my LinkedIn profile to review the details of my professional training and experience.

Spiritual Statement 

Many people are called to the medicine path, but for me it was required. When I was a child I wanted to be an astronaut and a garbage man (I liked the idea of riding on the back of a truck). For me, I have fulfilled my childhood dreams – I regularly embark on grand expeditions to explore the inner cosmos, and I help people heal (in other words, help them take out their trash). There’s so much wisdom in the early seeds if we know how to look for them. This is what I do, I help uncover seeds and support them in their growth. 

I’ve reached a point in my own practice that it is difficult to minimize the sacred nature of these experiences, and even as a skeptic, I am left to wonder about the objective nature of the other worlds and other worldly beings we encounter. I am equally open to the ideas of past lives and the Akashic Records… because my clients and I regularly experience “more real than real” inner experiences that point to these possibilities. Even still, I assess as a scientist, leaving no stone unturned, as we explore the potential life transforming implications of these experiences. I am grounded in psychological education and experience and know how to discern real visions from delusions. Both are healing, if we know how to look at them.

I accept that we all swim in a subtle energy, that is beneficent, life providing, and here to support us. I honor my ancestors, and I honor the ancestors of the lands I live on (the Cheyenne, Ute & Arapahoe). I seek to work and live in balance. I acknowledge that I am a human and with this humanness comes an innate imperfection that I accept about myself and encourage others to accept in themselves as well. We’re all already good enough. But if, like me, you wish to explore edges of potential, I am here to step into that space with you. 

I serve as a Professional Psychedelic Chaplain with Igreja do Divino Mestre na Terra (Church of the Divine Master on Earth, Brazil) that specializes in the religious use of N,N-DMT. My work is in alignment with the Natural Medicine Heath Act, which was passed in Colorado in 2022.
