Counselors - Le Ray, NY

" Follow up- A year later after filing a complaint with the NYS Department of Education, the Office of Professions has completed their investigation of Ms. Frongetta and the case has been referred to their Prosecution Division for further action. Ms. Frongetta’s actions surrounding my daughter have caused all of us great pain. However, I do believe she had good intentions. I advise all those seeking counseling services to choose wisely. Make sure your counselor is experienced and able to understand the possible issues. Update - earlier this year, I received notice from the New York State education department Office of the professions that Ms. Frongetta had settled this matter By admitting to one count of Professional misconduct and paying a small fine. It should be noted That such settlement is not unusual in regulatory settings. And someone who has worked in regulatory compliance for many years, first offenders, who have shown remorse and admitted to guilt of some sort are often allowed to settle in such cases. I am pleased with the result in this case. However, This case was never thoroughly vetted in front of the professional review board. The fact that it was prosecuted and eventually settled Means that it is very likely that Miss Frongetta Committed more serious Actions then were admitted to. Regulatory agencies simply do not have the time in resources To pursue all cases where significant harm may have occurred. They simply have to pick and choose Their best battles. Hopefully, Miss Frongetta learned something from this experience And has taken that to heart. She harmed my family. Christopher Crawford PhD"
