Yes counselors are on site...in-experienced counselors with no license according to staff and the State of Georgia. The only person who was licensed by the State of Georgia was Chris Allen and he is gone.
They are counseling without State licensure..period..they are not a "therapeutic "
boarding school according to the ORS and their attorneys "Quirk and Quirk", who may I add, are the entity that states "therapeutic" term is only for marketing purposes..

"My response is that you are full of shit, Deborah.
As if anyone would believe anything posted about HLA on this site.
Of course therapy is provided. If counselors are on-site and therapy is occurring, therapy is being provided. I have no concern about their marketing. I have no opinion on HLA one way or another since I don't know anything about it from firsthand experience. Sort of like most of you- the ones who have experience don't have recent experience."

If you know nothing about HLA, and have no first hand experience why are you here? Why even try and discount our experiences?
Are you hoping for the chance to become a lapdog?
Or are you really just that dumb?
Im thinking a little of both, obviously you have an agenda for being here, but at the same time its obvious you can barely read.
1. You dont know who most of us are. Since you dont know who we are how can you know when our experiences took place? Furthermore how much difference would it make either way?
2. No one is questioning that therapy goes on there, we are just postulating that "bad therapy" goes on there. Bad therapy by unliscensed quacks some of who are sadist.
3. Are you really going to claim that HLA is a traditional boarding school that only markets as a theraputic one? Anyone who has ever set foot in HLA knows that isnt the case.
Oh wait....you never have.

"Due to the fact that HLA will not provide financials for the two major companies that provide loans for kids to attend HLA, those companies (PrepGate and Achiever Loan) reportedly will cease making loans for HLA attendance.
Just another example of the kids suffering for the shortcomings of HLA's management.

How did you find that out?"

I was told by an employee. I think maybe I'll give it a few weeks to see what happens and then check directly with the lenders. If I don't get back to you in a timely fashion, just remind me via PM or check for yourself and report the results.
When I was told this it didn't surprise me because there was an investigator who was looking into the same issue for another lender several months ago.
But let's check and verify because this was a "single source" piece of information.
And to my personal troll: You're a loooong way from Wilkes-Barre aren't you? How sad that you find time to troll when you could be exploring the beautiful bay area. You should get out more often.
