ABOUT CHALLENGER POINT PRACTICE
Since December 24, 2018, Matthew Carlson, LPC, LAC, LMHC, founder of Challenger Point Practice has been offering licensed mental health treatment in Colorado, Texas, and Florida. The practice is named after "Challenger Point," a 14,087' mountain in Colorado that was named in honor of the astronauts that died in the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion in 1986. At the top of the mountain there is a plaque that reads "Ad Astra Per Aspera", which is Latin for "To the Stars Through Adversity." This is the motto and the spirit of Challenger Point Practice.
