School Psychology

School psychologists are trained to identify, address and overcome learning and behavioral needs in school-aged children.  The school psychologists on our team are knowledgeable on issues that affect students and know how to support pupils in finding strategies to deal with those issues.  School psychologists are responsible for a wide range of duties meaning no two days will look the same.  Some typical services the school psychologists on our team provide include helping students who are bullied and those who face struggles like poor academic performance, problems at home or mental health issues.  These professionals also help students who have disabilities.  School psychologists provide in-depth psychological services with the goal of helping students succeed academically, socially, behaviorally and emotionally.
