Have you looked into Masters programs that are geared towards school settings? Being a guidance counselor has always been available, but there are now programs aimed towards colleges, in preparation for becoming deans. You would be insured thru the school/college, be able to combine management skills with counseling, and have regular work hours. In addition, you would be able to relocate.

Relocation is a major drawback of psych/social work. You build up a local reputation and then have to begin anew. If you cross state lines, you often to need to take a state ethics exam to be licensed to work in that state.
