LaunchPad Counseling

Updated 9/2020. Original post in 2017. My 17 year old son was being seen by Kate Rey for depression. I will assume it was for depression as Ms. Rey never consulted us, his parents, about anything. She treated his therapy as if he were an adult without notifying us that my son has suicidal ideations. He died by suicide on December 17, 2017. We only learned of his suicidal thoughts after we requested a copy of his file from Launchpad. We never received any acknowledgement or correspondence of my son's death from Ms. Rey. The owner of Launchpad Counseling did call me about 8 weeks after his death because he saw my Google review. My only questions to him was how did a minor child get to decide his treatment without including his parents and why would Ms. Rey not notify us that he had suicidal thoughts and help us create a plan to keep him safe. I guess my beautiful boy was just another copay to them. I miss my son immensely every single day. Parents, please don't simply trust that your child is getting good care. Be vigilant and demand that professionals keep you informed. But mostly, hug your children every day and remind them of how special they are.
