EMPOWER YOURSELF WITH CHALLENGER POINT PRACTICE
GET TO KNOW CHALLENGER POINT PRACTICE
Challenger Point is a 14,087' mountain in Colorado. It is named in honor of the astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger that exploded in 1986. At the summit, a plaque reads "Ad Astra Per Aspera", which is Latin for "To the stars through adversity." This phrase captures the mission of Challenger Point Practice, the personality of founder Matthew William Carlson, all Challenger Point Practice personnel, and the attitude we want to help you have when you're facing hard times.

Your Special Companion
A Psychiatric Service Dog or an Emotional Support Animal recommendation is a great addition to your treatment plan.
Your provider will schedule a consultation with you, diagnose your symptoms, discuss how your animal helps you with your mental health, if seeking a service dog recommendation, your provider will verify your dog has been trained to perform at least one specific task to address your diagnosis and provide you with clinical recommendations to help you grow and recover using your animal.
The cost of the consultation may be billed to your health insurance if your provider is credentialed and considered "in network" with your insurance carrier. If you do not have insurance or cannot use your insurance for some reason, we charge a flat $80 fee and $20 for each extra document requested to be filled out by your provider.
