We discuss two models (two types of organizations) of educational psychological service, which has a fundamental difference in the workplace of a school psychologist: at school (educational institution) or out of school (in counseling centers, PPMS center, PMPC, psychologist’s office in district or city departments of local authorities). We prove that the currently being developed professional standards of specialist in the field of educational psychology (activity on psychological and pedagogical support of students) aimed at the development of a national counseling service in Russia, should provide a combination of both models and ensure interactions between psychologists working within an institution with experts from the district (city) psychological centers, offices or counseling centers.
