DA: Fake Psychology Practice

A Huntington man has pleaded not guilty to charges he practiced psychology without a license.

Adam M. Goldrusso, 46, also pleaded not guilty to second-degree criminal sale of marijuana. The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office said that Goldrusso: "Did practice and held himself out to practice, psychology by identifying himself as a licensed psychologist and by engaging in counseling and/or psychotherapy."

It was not immediately known how many people he treated.

The unauthorized practice of a professional is a violation of state education law. Both charges are felonies.
