The is very little individual therapy.
PG Counselors lead group therapy.
Assistant Counselors are not in charge of any group therapy. They provide support to the kids, but not formal therapy.

There is little to no individual therapy.
Peer group counselors facilitate the group therapy sessions. Occasionally someone else who has nothing to do with you will come in and observe or act like they know you, i.e. Addiction Counselors, Dir. of Counseling.
Asst. Counselors are nothing more than glorified babysitters.
Nothing more.
Deborah:
Website states "Senior Master?s-level Counseling Staff assist each group and provide individual therapy to students in the final phases of the program".
No Individual therapy? Is 7 hours of Group therapy sufficient for kids with serious problems like eating disorders, self injury, suicidal ideation?
Re: Clinical Supervision and Internships
We will currently interviewing for counseling positions at Hidden Lake Academy, a coed college-preparatory therapeutic boarding school for grades 8-12 in North Georgia, located approximately one hour north of Atlanta. Clinical Supervision for licensure provided. The school is SACS accredited and operates year-round.

Given that HLA is not licensed as a TBS or Wilderness Program, can they offer "Therapeutic Recreation Internships"?
Beatty is the Athletic Director with a B.S. in Therapeutic Recreation. Unless I'm mistaken, he can't provide the Supervision required for Interns.
Further, HLA is not supposed to have a Wilderness Dept.
That's RCs domain, which is licensed to provide that service?
Would this be for the infamous "Interventions" program?

Actually when I was there, there was some individual counseling going on. I know that Christy Jones and Chris Allen were seeing some of the students individually. Also, there is one on one time that the counselors have with their PG members on a daily basis that could be considered individual. I don't recall any formal individual counseling for all students at the end of the program. To my knowledge, that did not happen.
Deborah:
Allen was licensed, but he's gone.
I ran through the counseling staff and couldn't find one staff who is licensed in Georgia, not even Christy.

Under the direction and supervision of the provider listed at the left, (Len) the preceding services were provided by the following counselors:
*******, MA
*******, MSW
Clinical supervision provided by Christy Jones, PsyD
Leonard Buccellato, PhD
Lic #: GA #439
HLA, Inc Tax ID# 58-2360395
Can Christy (or any of the others) counsel or provide supervision without a license, based on your interpretation of the rules stated previously?
I also didn't see 35 Master's level counselors, more like 15, and 3 who didn't have degrees in Psych, SW, etc.
