Atlas Counseling Center has been open in Fernley for a little more than a year, but it hosted a ribbon cutting last Thursday to celebrate its service to the community.

Fernley mayor Roy Edgington, several Fernley Chamber of Commerce members and others gathered for the celebration at the Fernley office at 415 Hwy. 95A South, Suite 702G.

Co-owned by Georgia Russell, Jenna Morton and John Phipps, Atlas Counseling offers community and behavioral health counseling services.

Atlas Counseling Services celebrated a ribbon cutting ceremony last Thursday. June 23.


Russell said the Atlas Counseling offers behavioral therapy provided by Master’s level therapists, Bachelor’s level psychosocial rehabilitation and case management and other basic skills training, on a strictly outpatient basis.

They also offer therapeutic services for different diagnoses, including ADHD or PTSD.

“We’re basically just here to support the community,” Russell said,

While some referrals come from courts or probation, Russell said a lot of people want to put their kids in the center’s after school program.

Atlas Counseling Services has offices in Fernley, Reno, Lovelock and Yerington. Amanda Jasso is the office manager in Fernley and can be reached at (775) 575-2284.

“It’s been really fun for us to come support the rural communities,” Morton said.

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
