school psychologists

Campus mental professionals

School psychologists are mental health professionals who work in educational settings, addressing students' learning, behavioral, and emotional needs.

They conduct psychological assessments, help identify learning disabilities, develop intervention plans, and provide counseling services.

Unlike school counselors, who focus primarily on academic guidance, school psychologists are trained to diagnose and treat psychological conditions affecting educational performance.
