Professional Services Group provides school-based services in various districts in Kenosha, western Kenosha and Racine counties, Walworth County, West Allis, and Washington County. Our programs work with children and their families who are struggling with academic and behavioral concerns within the school environment.

Providing mental health services within the school increases access to services for families who may not be able to go to an outpatient clinic on their own. School-Based staff go directly into the school to provide intervention, including: individual and group therapy, education/consultation for school personnel, and family therapy as needed.

Ideal candidates will enjoy having summers off or reduced summer hours. Part-time summer hours are available in addition to those associated with the 9-month salary. Candidates should have an interest in providing services to students K-12 in a school setting.

• Assess the therapeutic needs of clients and complete formal assessments.
• Create and review client treatment plans.

• Demonstrate knowledge and skill in addressing family system, mental health, parenting, and alcohol/drug issues through individual, family, or group counseling.
• Organize and facilitate structured group, individual and/or family activities.
• Provide consultation to the child's school and school personnel as needed.
• Coordinate services and maintain communication with all service providers involved with the clients.

POSITION HOURS AND LOCATION: Position is based at assigned school locations. This position may require travel to multiple schools during the school day.
