School Based Services


Providing school-based care opens doors and provides new opportunities for students and their families.

Mental Health Services:
NorthLakes Community Clinic is proud to announce our collaboration with area School Districts in offering school based mental health services in a confidential setting, within the school building. School Based Mental Health Services are provided during the most convenient times for the students based on their course schedule. NorthLakes Community Clinic works with the school and family to arrange consistent meeting times for each student receiving services during a course that will not interfere with their academic success. (Program started- 2016)

“One of the largest benefits I have seen from school based behavioral health services, aside from removing the transportation and work absence barrier, is that the clients can take what they learned in session and immediately implement it into their day.”
-Jes Springer, Psychotherapist & School Based Behavioral Health Manager
