Lorenz Clinic
Post-Master’s Fellowship (Pre-Licensed Therapist)
Lorenz Clinic, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, 55400
Post-Master’s Fellowship (Pre-Licensed Therapist)
Applications are open for Lorenz Clinic's 2025 Post-Master’s Fellowship, a nationally recognized, rigorous, full-time, paid psychotherapy training position for pre-licensed clinicians seeking LICSW, LMFT, or LPCC licensure in Minnesota. Supervision is provided.
What You’ll Learn Lorenz Clinic’s interprofessional training program was founded on the values and competencies of professional psychology as well as a systemic epistemology. The clinic seeks to develop effective interventionists judged by their ability to create change. Graduates leave with a deep professional network and the ability to work both independently and on interdisciplinary treatment teams. The fellowship provides invaluable client hours needed for licensure while ensuring the pre-licensure period is focused on professional development, not just working.
Training Tracks Fellows are welcome to apply to one of four clinical program tracks:
Outpatient Psychotherapy. Systemic, relational work over longer term psychotherapy.
Community-Based (In-Home). High intensity, trauma-focused treatment with kids and families.
Intensive Outpatient Group Psychotherapy (IOP). Group- and family-based work within a higher level of care.
Early Childhood Day Treatment. Trauma-focused group and family work with ages 3-6 using the Developmental Repair therapy model.
Brief Intervention Clinic. Short-term, focused counseling with models like SFBT, MI, Brief CBT, etc.
The Role Post-Master’s fellows function in an applied, clinical role providing psychotherapeutic services to a variety of clients. The Post-Master’s Fellowship is designed for pre-licensed Mental Health Practitioners who are qualified as Clinical Trainees to provide psychotherapy and related Children’s Therapeutic Services and Supports (CTSS) services on an outpatient or in-home basis, depending on assigned clinical program track. Fellows operate under the direct supervision of their Treatment Supervisor, with adjective supervision provided by Clinical Supervisors and program management. Fellows are considered trainees in clinic policy.
Job Duties Include But Are Not Limited To
Provide psychological services including diagnostic assessment, treatment planning, psychotherapy, and discharge planning under supervision
Carry and maintain a psychotherapy caseload as assigned, either in-clinic or in-home depending on assigned clinical program
Provide individual, couples, group, or family psychotherapy as assigned by supervisor based on prior preparation, established learning goals, and program need
Attend and actively participate in individual and/or group supervision, case consultation, training activities, Grand Rounds, team meetings, and other meetings as required
Conduct at least two formal, scholarly presentations during the two-year fellowship, one to colleagues and one to the public
Other duties as assigned
Requirements The most successful candidates will have evidenced a track record of sequential, scaffolded learning experiences aimed at a career as a psychotherapist. Interpersonally secure, open, flexible, curious, candidates will likely experience the best training outcomes. Candidates with the potential to have a positive impact on the profession itself will be given higher consideration.
The Position Requirements Include
A master’s degree in psychology, clinical counseling, Marriage & Family Therapy, Social Work, or similar field from a regionally-accredited academic program (Candidates from doctoral programs should consider the clinic’s Postdoctoral Fellowship or Clinical Extern programs)
Successful completion of a clinically-focused, master’s-level practicum or internship that involved diagnosis, treatment planning, and psychotherapy
Must have a declared mental health licensure track such as LICSW, LMFT, or LPCC in Minnesota and comply with requirements for licensure or board certification as a mental health professional including supervised practice in the delivery of mental health services for the treatment of mental illness (if on social work licensure track, must have LGSW before start date; a provisional LGSW does not meet Lorenz Clinic's requirements for this role).
A completed master's-level clinical practicum placement where diagnosis, treatment planning, and psychotherapy were the foci prior to start date. The total master's-level, clinic-based formation (internships or practica) should sum to 9-12 months in length. Practicum placements that were primarily remote or telehealth will not be considered. Candidates with fewer than 9 months of total practicum formation will only be considered for inclusion into our Brief Intervention Clinic or early childhood day treatment programs.

Above all, adding Lorenz Clinic to your resume is a distinctive badge of professionalism and quality recognized the region over. For the past decade and a half, Lorenz has been known as the psychotherapist’s clinic, one of the few practices many clinicians would entrust with their career or in many cases, their own family.

Community-Based, In-Home Therapy $51,000 - $90,000
While other clinics tout big salaries based on monster caseload sizes for supervisees, Lorenz has intentionally designed this as a training fellowship with balance and learning in mind. This is a W2, salaried role, which means your paycheck would be the same, steady, predictable amount. Pay-for-performance compensation models are available at candidates' election. Fellowship alumni are often invited on staff following successful completion of the fellowship.
To Apply Admission to the fellowship is competitive. Lorenz selects candidates based on their potential to positively impact the cohort learning dynamic, advance the profession, and benefit society at large, among other factors. Prior preparation in systems thinking, group theory, relational intervention are strongly preferred.

In addition to your suitability for the position, cover letters should broadly outline your training goals, track preference, commitment to the common good, and a brief narrative of your experience providing psychotherapy. Applications not accompanied by a cover letter will be deemed incomplete. Applicants who are invited to interview may be asked to provide writing samples, references, or a letter of recommendation from a past clinical supervisor. Preference will also be given to bilingual candidates, as expanding access for the underserved is an integral part of the clinic’s mission.
