Aspen Education Group lawyers..AEG not mental health program
Troll Control:
So then the couselor WAS under the guidance of the licensed therapist then. Thanks for pointing that out, guest. So the couselor who worked under the therapist was subject to HIPAA and this should be tried in court.
The lawyers must have lied in court when they said she wasn't.
Either way, whether licensed or not, Aspen declared in open court that theu do not provide treatment, but on the website it says it does and that all couselors are therapists. Doesn't quite jive with the truth.

I would strongly suggest that people follow the link and read for themselves. This was a request for summary judgment brought by both parties, and the court was unable to rule on the last three of five claims. These were:
III. Third Claim - Negligent Provision of Mental Health Tx
IV. Fourth Claim - Breach of Confidential Relationship
V. Fifth Claim - Punitive Damages
As soon as I posted this last night, Whooter began with a veritable barrage of obfuscating and misleading posts, quoting parts that were discussion material as if they were conclusion material, and ignoring the ruling on its face.
Presumably, this case continued to trial. However, I have been unable to find any mention of it. Does anyone know whether Aspen settled this out of court to prevent further exposure of the issues raised?
Whooter:
--- Quote ---No. All parties agree there was a licensed therapist at Northstar but that the "therapist" Pence SAW, "Trudy Godat," was unlicensed.

When in doubt its always good to go back to the court documents:
Court Records
2 The parties seem to agree that although Trudy Godat (Director of North Star) was not licenced, one member of Matthew Pence's "treatment team" was a licenced therapist.
The court agrees with defendants (Aspen Education Group) that Harless's alleged disclosure of Matthew Pence's confessions to police was not an extreme transgression of the bounds of socially tolerable conduct. Matthew Pence's IIED claim therefore fails as a matter of law.

Yes, a member of his "treatment team" (whatever that means) was a therapist..
but Aspen is being sued over the FACT that Mathew received “therapy” from an unlicensed therapist.
People interested can read the link themselves and see the truth for themselves whatever your sad attempts at spin

Again, Whooter, you are quoting from text discussing one of the claims, and completely ignoring the fact that the court was unable to rule on three out of the five claims brought to the court's attention.
The revelation that one single member of Matthew Pence's treatment team happened to be a licensed therapist came from one of the footnotes.
