What are the responsibilities and job description for the Smyrna, TN - School Psychologist position at Thrive Therapies Group?
School Psychologist | School-Based See the whole child. Shape what comes next. School Psychologists have a rare ability to turn insight into opportunity for a child. You're there for some of the most important moments students and families navigate — bringing expertise, clarity, and support to decisions that can shape what comes next.
At Thrive, we put that expertise at the center.
