ABOUT CHALLENGER POINT PRACTICE, PLLC

Challenger Point Practice, PLLC is a trauma-informed private practice founded by Matthew William Carlson, LPC, LMHC, serving individuals, teams, and agencies nationwide. Licensed in Colorado (LPC), Texas (LPC), and Florida (LMHC, telehealth), we offer both in-person and virtual services across all 50 states.

Our Core Mission

Borrowing from Challenger Point, a 14,087' summit in Colorado, our motto is:

“Ad Astra Per Aspera — To the stars through hardship.”

We help trauma-exposed professionals, first responders, veterans, and survivors not just survive—but climb—using body-first science, peer-led tools, and rugged deployments.

What We Do

We integrate three core practices:

  • Clinical care (trauma therapy, resilience coaching, ESA/PSD letters)

  • Creative storytelling (via Roll Call TV and Undercover Dumpster Fire)

  • Trauma-informed training & deployment with CLIMB Protocol and peer resilience teams

Related but Separate Entities

We collaborate closely with two independent organizations that amplify—but remain distinct from—Challenger Point Practice:

  1. 16 Cent Productions
    A media company focused on resilience storytelling, short films, and performance work. Also the production arm behind Roll Call TV and personal brand work as Willy Bearden.

  2. Undercover Dumpster Fire (UDF)
    A Community Benefit 501(c)(3) that offers peer-based resilience support, films, podcasts, advocacy campaigns, and grants for trauma-exposed groups. Our nonprofit storytelling and outreach platform. 

The CLIMB Protocol & SCURD Integration

Challenger Point is home to:

  • CLIMB Medical Team: A deployable, trauma-informed force for reset operations and disaster response. 

  • SCURD (Southern Continental Unified Response Division): A fictional but operational model used in CLIMB training. When you train with us, you become a member of SCURD—learning SOPs, field ops, and trauma readiness protocols in mock critical incidents.

Why It Matters

We are building a full-system approach to trauma recovery—across clinical, creative, and operational domains. Come as you are: whether you're seeking therapy, training, agency consultation, or a reset journey. Here, we climb.
