As a school psychologists currently in my 11th year working in the school setting, I truly believe our education, training, and experience make us highly qualified candidates to provide support to youth in private practice. We already play a vital role in supporting the whole child by understanding their social, emotional, behavioral, and academic needs. School psychologist are providing mental health supports within the school setting, and we see the need for more mental health support outside of school where our students are often left waiting for help as families are searching for providers but often met with months long waitlists. I believe that any opportunity to expand the role of school psychologists, whether in the school setting or private practice, will be a huge benefit for children and adolescents.
