"Chris Allen was a licensed counselor. He left HLA. Unfortunately, he was the ONLY licensed counselor on staff at the time.
Since Chris' departure, HLA reportedly has been operating with NO LICENSED COUNSELORS.
How can they offer therapy and bill for it without a licensed counselor on board? The short answer I've gotten is that the boss signs off on the paperwork. Since he does not directly treat patients, this seems fraudulent.
Can any HLA employees explain how they offer therapy without licenses to provide it?

Maybe someone will respond after they hire a licensed practitioner?
How are they doing "therapy" now without a license?

Updated staff listing shows 1 LPC, 1 MSW, and 1 LAPC. Looks like they have their bases covered.

Well, I'd say it's a little less than "bases covered." Three practitioners to handle a caseload of over 150 kids doesn't quite get it done.
In effect, these kids are given hours and hours of "therapy" every week by unlicensed staff. Look, if every kid gets three hours of counseling a week (conservative estimate) that leaves the three licensed counselors with a workload equal to one hundred and fifty hours per week each.
Somehow I seriously doubt that these folks are the ones doing the counseling. I hope they are aware that if the billing is being done in their names, yet they are not seeing the patients, it leaves them in legal jeopardy for a serious criminal offense.
