Georgia man charged with false psychiatry practice

VALDOSTA - Authorities say a Georgia man has been charged with practicing psychiatry without a license in Florida. <br> <br> Police in Jacksonville, Florida, say 33-year-old Anthony Johnson of Valdosta offered family and marriage counseling services at the Theocentric Psychological Christian Counseling Center for at least six months in 2001. <br> <br> Authorities were notified after someone questioned Johnson&#39;s credentials, which were listed on a Web site and in a telephone book advertisement. <br> <br> Authorities will not say how many patients Johnson is believed to have seen. Police say Johnson could face up to a year in prison because impersonating a doctor is a felony. <br> <br> Craig Aldrich is an investigator in the Florida Attorney&#39;s Office. He says he does not know of any pending investigations in Georgia or whether Johnson also has seen patients in this state.
