Why ESS Clinical Is Different For over 45 years, PSI has been a pioneering force in Educational Support Services and School Health Programs throughout Ohio. Our journey began when a visionary administrator of the Cleveland Diocesan Schools joined forces with a group of innovative school psychologists from Kent State University. Since then, PSI evolved into a comprehensive provider partnering with over 500 schools in the State of Ohio.

In late 2023, PSI forged a transformative partnership with ESS, further expanding our reach to meet the evolving needs of students nationwide. Through our ESS partnership, PSI and ESS Clinical have joined forces to serve students in public, private, and charter schools.
