Clinical Manager

The Lorenz Clinic, LLC•Rosemount, MN

1d•$90,000 - $150,000•Onsite

About The Position

We are a training institution with a clinical practice. This position is a leadership role for clinicians who are strong in their practice and ready to take on more responsibility. The manager holds both an outpatient psychotherapy practice and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) at a single location. Lorenz Clinic is a psychology clinic known for its doctorally-prepared clinicians and a model of care that treats systemic issues rather than just symptoms. The clinic operates on three core logics: systemic, relational, and developmental. Professionalism is a key value, understood as an obligation to clients, the field, and the people being developed. Reflective practice is central to the clinic's developmental approach. Both the outpatient and intensive outpatient programs share the same philosophy of care, focusing on corrective interpersonal experience and treating the systems in which symptoms reside. The manager's role is to protect this approach at the program level, ensuring fidelity to the model despite pressures like census and operational fatigue. This is a clinical, supervisory, and management position, with the clinical aspect being foundational. The role involves carrying a caseload, supervising pre-licensed clinicians, leading a site-level reflective container, and holding operational responsibility for both outpatient and IOP programs. The position requires holding operational authority and a reflective container as distinct functions, demanding a balance between leadership and the ability to hold team uncertainty. The ideal candidate is clinically strong, systemically oriented, curious about their impact, and views supervision and management as crafts to develop. Competence in relational and systemic psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, and family therapy is required. The role also requires competence in reflective practice or a strong willingness to develop it, and demonstrated supervision competence. This is a development-centered environment that invests heavily in its people and expects a significant return. The role is not for those seeking a quiet caseload or a simple career step, but for those who want to become clinicians who can form others.
