SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY INTERNSHIP
Paige Psychological Consulting contracts with charter schools across Minnesota that span from K-12th grade including a diverse student population. Interns at Paige Psychological Consulting will be under the supervision of Dr. Jazlynn Paige, Nationally Certified School Psychologist.
​
I currently have a few of my schools (Minneapolis, St. Paul and surrounding suburbs) that would love to have an intern! Those options can be further discussed and decided based on the interests of the intern.

Interns will be exposed to the full range of school psychological services, including screening, problem solving, consultation, intervention, and psychoeducational evaluation. Interns will likely have an opportunity to influence and work on district-level MTSS policy and procedures.
