What Else Can a School Psych Do? Exploring Private Practice

Listen on Apple Podcasts

Have you ever wondered what it would look like to use your school psych skills outside of a traditional K 12 role?
In this episode, I’m continuing our conversation about alternative career paths and focusing on private practice, what it actually looks like and what it doesn’t.

I share my journey of becoming a Licensed Educational Psychologist, keeping that license in my back pocket, and eventually building a practice centered on executive functioning support, learning disabilities, and ADHD.
If you’re feeling burned out, curious, or just craving more flexibility, this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to leave school psychology to expand your role. Sometimes it’s about creating options for your future self.
