In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we meet Luke Lorefice, LCSW, the founder of Wave Point Counseling. Luke shares his journey from a "bad sales job" to discovering his calling in mental health, inspired by his family of helpers and a desire to support young adults. He delves into his unique niche of "bro therapy," working primarily with young men and neurodivergent individuals (especially those with ADHD and high-functioning autism) by combining practical, action-oriented coaching with traditional therapy, both in-person and virtually.

Luke discusses the current boom in the mental health industry and his multi-faceted approach to client acquisition, from online platforms like Psychology Today to in-person resource fairs. He also opens up about his ambitious future plans, which include scaling his "Social Connections" dinner parties for autistic adults, authoring a book, and a long-term, visionary goal of creating a trade school that offers a traditional college experience for skilled vocations, making it an affordable and valuable alternative to conventional higher education.
