Richmont Counseling Centers
The last two years have illuminated an urgent need for counseling
services, and Richmont’s counseling centers have risen to the challenge.
Last year’s cohort at the HOPE Counseling Center was the biggest
yet, with 47 interns serving in Atlanta. The cohort was able to provide
30% more sessions to the clients in their care. In addition, the interns
provided over 50 psychoeducational presentations and responded

effectively to two separate requests for community grief support.
Play Therapy at Walton Adventure Centers
Another partnership Richmont is eager to expand is the collaboration with the Walton Communities apartments.
In addition to affordable housing options, Walton also operates Adventure Centers, which provide after-school
enrichment and summer camp programs for students in select Walton apartment communities.
The Henegar Counseling Center saw clinicians become certified in
Parent Child Care (PC-CARE) through UC Davis, one of only a handful of
clinicians in the country who was chosen for this program. Additionally,
the Henegar Center formed a community outreach committee, hosting
the Henegar Inaugural Golf Tournament and raising $23,000 to offer

therapy sessions to community members in need.
An anonymous donation of $1,000.00 was given to The Henegar
Counseling Center for the purpose of community clinician outreach. The
Henegar Counseling Center clinicians used the funds to purchase and
deliver donuts for Valentine’s Day to other local clinicians.
This past year, the Trauma Center received a $150,000 grant to launch
the Restorative Justice Program with Cobb County’s Diversion Program,

program in the future.
“This program will provide an exceptional internship opportunity

Certificate while offering Richmont an avenue to contribute to the
growing body of research on the impact of Child-Centered Play
Therapy Groups,” shared Renee Holdo, Director of Richmont’s
Center for Play Therapy Education. “CCGPT is designed to

In addition to the counseling services already provided at

the program and I look forward to seeing it grow.”
“When Walton Communities approached Richmont about also working with their Adventure Centers’ afterschool
program, we were thrilled to explore the possibility, Walton Communities’ mission to create neighborhoods where
people thrive is a natural fit with our mission to advance healing, restoration, and transformation in the lives of
individuals, churches, and communities.”
