School Psychologists in California – Job Information

School psychologists employed by TherapyTravelers can work in a variety of settings. 

A majority of our psychologists work in public K-12 schools. However, we can also get you a position in a private school, charter school, or university. 

As a school psychologist, you can expect to perform the following roles:

• Implement behavioral management techniques
• Diagnose and treat learning disabilities
• Evaluate and advise disciplinary policies for troubled students
• Administer psychological tests for special education purposes
• Meet with teachers and parents to discuss students’ social, behavioral, familial, and learning problems
• Listen to concerns about academic, emotional, and social problems
• Help students process their problems
• Help students plan goals

This is certainly not an exhaustive list. Your position will be a very versatile one, and you will be expected to adapt to meet your students’ needs. 

While there seems to be no end to a school psychologist’s job description, you will likely find your position to be very fulfilling. Your main goals will be to address your students’ issues, give them ways to combat their problems, and have a positive impact on their lives. 

What You Need to Be a School Psychologist in California

To work as a school psychologist, you need to meet minimum requirements at both the baccalaureate and graduate level:

• Obtain a bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited university
• Complete 60 hours of graduate education in a psychology program approved by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing

Requirements will vary for those who were educated outside of California. Here at TherapyTravelers, we will help you understand the requirements and ensure you are qualified for the positions you’re applying for. 

Where You Can Expect to Work

Our team is dedicated to getting qualified psychologists employed in schools throughout California. 

Some of our psychologists are happy in their positions and sign year after year within the same district. If you like your assignment, we can work to get you a long-term contract at a position in a certain city. 

If you prefer to travel and don’t see yourself happy sitting still, we also have travel positions available throughout the state. You may find yourself in San Jose covering for someone on maternity leave and then in Oakland for an entire year contract. 

Why Choose TherapyTravelers

Browsing through hundreds of job listings on various sites can be arduous work that produces little reward.

And, if you find your position on your own, you won’t have someone in your corner once you’re hired.
