It is a real phd in psychology..and I think, that it was obtained from either the Univ of Georgia or Georgia State. I know it was a regular 4 year college in Georgia.

He does not state where his degree is from..
Do not say 'think' SSh, unless there is proof..
It is not coming up so far in searches...
Again, does anyone actually 'know' where his degree is from...Apparently, people that are
looking into it,will,  have no problem finding out
where I attended college..so, I am sure it will
surface, if it is there...

Also, you don't receive a  PHD from a four year college....

When I said 4 year college I meant a regular university, instead of a tech school or community college. You can obtain a phd from georgia state or univ of georgia. And he has an actual real phd. I just dont remember which school its from in Georgia. He has been a practicing licensed psychologist since 1975 and you have to have a phd to be called a doctor and be licensed as such in Georgia. he is not a fake phd, if thats what youre trying to hint at. He worked with public school systems in georgia and alabama for years and years and has had a private practice for over 25 years.

What, it is absolutely mind boggling that an
individual of his purported credentials has no
record of academic history..WHy would anyone involved in this operation, not know where he achieved his academic degrees...If he has them, it is an easy answer, why doesn't someone answer the question...?And, why were we told that he was
a prominent Psychiatrist in a major Atlanta
hospital....when he in fact, has no such performance
 on record..

I dont know about an atlanta hospital, but he has worked with public school systems in georgia and alabama since the mid 70s, and has had a private practice office in atlanta since then also. He has an actual degree, Ive seen it in his home office. I just dont know what school it says. Why dont you just call the man's secretary at his office in atlanta and ask?

Post by: juniper2 on March 03, 2006, 11:17:00 PM
But, if this a legitimate degree, why doesn't
anyone involved, just tell us where the degree is from??  It is a simple request...You call
his secretary and find out....and we cannot wait to hear the answer. Thanks.

Its a friday night...whos gonna call anybody on a weekend? I guess you will just have to wait and see who responds to your question. Or you can call him yourself if youre that curious.
Title: Dr...Buce... A.k.A. Lenny B....Owner HLA
Post by: juniper2 on March 03, 2006, 11:30:00 PM
We sure are curious...People with legitimate credentials have no problem revealing it to the world..If he is a bona fide Psychologist, it will
be there....He does have two licenses, one expired and one is coming up... but, need to find the colleges....Just curious....if there are no checks and balances at Hla, it is difficult to trust everything else...

Miller Newton at Straight insisted that everyone refer to him as "Dr." after receiving a Phd in urban anthropology or public administration from some diploma mill.  Sure the certificate hanging on the wall looked great but it held no value.

Well that is all well and fine but Dr. B is a real doctor of psychology and has been practicing legitimately since the mid 70s. He has worked for public school systems for years before opening up the 4 schools he owns and has been in private practice since I think 1975.

Great.  All we want to know is where he got his degrees.  It's a simple question.  Why is it so difficult to get an answer.  Surely if the HLA powers-that-be (or their flunkies) are reading this, they would RUSH to post Len's valid credentials, so we'd all stop asking,no???

He could be a PHD..However, he had a so
called 'Doctor' on his staff at HLA for 7 years..
knowing he wasn't a real MD or DO....that is frightening...so there is a 'trust' issue...

IECA granted $2000
THANK YOU!!! to the IECA Foundation (Supporting Children?s Educational Needs & Opportunities) for their $2,000 grant to NOA to support educational and tutorial activities for children who are victims of domestic violence. Additionally, they have donated educational and business software for the children and adult services programs. Funds will be used to purchase computers to assist our clients with these needs

Also on the Board of Trustees at IECA

http://www.iecafoundation.org/about/board.htm (http://www.iecafoundation.org/about/board.htm)

Gov. Sonny Perdue has awarded a $78,008 grant to an area organization that aids crime victims and honored the program as a model domestic violence shelter in Georgia.
No One Alone, or NOA, provides crisis itervention, legal advocacy, court accompaniment and case management to victims of crime in Dawson and Lumpkin counties.
It also helps them with shelter, food, clothing, referral services, follow-up care, child care, support groups, transportation and educational services.
Perdue said NOA is a "great example of a community's response to combating" domestic violence.
The award is part of the 2004 Victims of Crime Act Formula Grant Program.
The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council administers the program, which provides funds to benefit children's advocacy and rape crisis centers, and domestic violence shelters. The program also assists Court Appointed Special Advocate and victim witness assistance programs.
Dianne Williams, deputy director of the council, said that residents of Dawson and Lumpkin counties should be proud of the local shelter.
"The staff at NOA's Ark work tirelessly to assist innocent victims of crime," she said.
The federal government awards the grant to the council on behalf of the state for distribution to victim services providers statewide.
All recipients must provide services to victims of crime. In addition, the grant program requires a 20 percent match from each applicant.

If anyone even wanted to attempt to verify his degree from Georgia State or University of Georgia, you couldn't call the schools and find out.  Both schools use a service called the National Student Clearinghouse to verify degrees, and you need a complete date of birth and Social Security number in order to get information.

If anyone can get his full SSN and DOB, you should be able to call the National Student Clearinghouse and get the info.  The number is (703) 742-4200.

I honestly believe that there's no payoff in going down this road.  I think Dr. B's degrees/licensure, etc is on the up and up.

What seems to be really reeking of impropriety is the accounting.  There seems to be a ton of money that has been siphoned off the businesses.  We're still working on tracking that stuff down.

Leonard Buccellato runs a website called http://www.educationalconsultant.net (http://www.educationalconsultant.net).  That website lists the following about him:

"Dr. Buccellato has been a licensed Psychologist in Georgia since 1975.  After a number of years with the Atlanta Public School System and Georgia State University, he began his independent private practice in 1975.  Dr. Buccellato's considerable experiences at helping young people and adults grow and change has allowed him develop an objective and exceptionally thorough method of evaluating and diagnosing children, adolescents, and adults.

"Through the years, Dr. Buccellato has maintained strong ties with his community, serving as a board member for several civic and humanitarian organizations, including the Child Advocacy Coalition, the Council for Children, the Atlanta Preservation Center, Jerusalem House, and the Northside Hospital Foundation Advisory Board.  He is also the founder and chairman of the board of the St. Francis Day School, and is  the founder and President of Hidden Lake Academy, a therapeutic boarding school located in northeast Georgia."

So it appears that he went to Georgia State, although it is very vague; no mention of where he obtained his undergraduate degree, or whether he received a PhD from Georgia State.  It also doesn't mention many details of his employment experience.
