Join to apply for the
Post-Master’s Fellowship (Pre-Licensed Therapist)
role at
Lorenz Clinic . 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.
About Lorenz Clinic Lorenz Clinic is on a mission to heal the world one relationship at a time—not by being the biggest, but by being the best. Founded around a dining room table, we’ve grown into a regional leader in clinical services and training, pioneering the first Family Psychology specialty clinic in the North and launching Minnesota’s first organized Post‑Master’s Fellowships. We don’t just treat symptoms—we aim to treat the second‑order dynamics that hold them in place. That ethos is baked into everything we do, from our commitment to systemic and relational models of care to our identity as a clinician‑led, training‑intensive environment. Our training program is one of the most selective in Minnesota, with a 5% acceptance rate, and includes everything from master’s practicum to postdoctoral psychology fellowships.
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.
Fellowship activities are intentionally targeted to provide training in the following foundational areas:
Professionalism
Ethical, Legal, & Policy Issues
Individual & Cultural Diversity
Relationships
Scientific Knowledge
Reflective Practice
Interdisciplinary Systems & Interprofessional Collaboration
Additionally, the fellowship helps clinicians develop their skills in the following functional areas:
Selecting Effective Treatments
Assessment, including problem & treatment formulation
Psychotherapeutic Intervention
Consultation
Leveraging Supervision
Teaching Others
Self‑Management & Effectively Working in Organizations
Advocacy
Training Tracks At times, fellows may adopt a blended caseload across programs to extend development, depending on their stated learning goals and supervisor competence. Individual cases are assigned based on a multitude of factors including trainees’ preparation, individualized learning goals, supervisor competencies, client goodness of fit, and community need. The clinic enjoys a strong referral base and waitlist, which allows for some choice in client ages and presenting concerns. While there is freedom to choose case types based on individualized learning goals, the program strongly believes specialization is best suited to later developmental stages and that the most well‑rounded graduates are those who gained early experience with a diversity of clients.
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. Post‑Master’s 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.
Benefits Full‑time fellows enjoy a robust benefits package that includes:
Student Loan Repayment
Paid Burnout Time
Up to 12 weeks of paid parenting leave regardless of gender
A 401k with 401k matching
Medical insurance
Dental insurance
Vision insurance
Life insurance
Short‑ and long‑term disability insurance
Paid time off
Paid holidays
Paid service/volunteer time
Employee assistance program
Flexible schedule
Hybrid options
Professional development assistance
Healthcare Savings Account
Key learning experiences include:
Licensure supervision
Licensing exam preparation help
Interdisciplinary training cohort
8 hours per month of supervision, a mix of individual and group
4 hours of consultee‑focused case consultation per month
8 hours of fellowship seminar; once per month with cohort
1 hr/wk of didactic seminar
1 hour of Grand Rounds per month
2 hours per quarter of invited practitioner series
Ad hoc continuing education events
Compensation The hiring range for this role is $51,000 – $90,000 per year, which is based on qualifications, caseload (22‑28/wk), program fit, and the candidate’s program choice. 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. To apply for this position, submit your CV and a cover letter to the attention of the Training Committee via the online job portal for the chosen clinic location. 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.
Individual & Cultural Diversity Lorenz Clinic is proudly committed to recruiting and retaining a diverse and inclusive workforce. We are an Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, protected veteran status, disability status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law.
Pre‑licensed therapists, unlicensed therapists, or intermediately licensed therapists such as Licensed Graduate Social Workers (LGSW), Nationally Certified Counselors (NCC), or Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapists (LAMFT) should especially consider this position. Licensed mental health therapists such as LPCC, LMFT, or LICSW should instead consider Lorenz’s Outpatient Psychotherapist role posted separately, as this is a pre‑licensed training fellowship.
