Post-Master's Fellowship — Pre-Licensed Therapist | LMFT / LPCC / LICSW Track

The Lorenz Clinic, LLC • Minneapolis, MN

7d • Hybrid

About The Position

Lorenz Clinic of Family Psychology is offering a nationally recognized, full-time, paid psychotherapy training position for pre-licensed mental health clinicians pursuing LICSW, LMFT, or LPCC licensure in Minnesota. This two-year fellowship is designed for clinicians who want the pre-licensure period to be genuinely developmental, focusing on relational, systemic, and developmentally informed psychotherapy. The program is rigorous and structured around the fellow's developmental stage and learning goals rather than productivity targets. It follows a cohort model with an interprofessional composition of fellows from counseling, marriage and family therapy, social work, and psychology. The fellowship provides more structure for clinical work than typically offered during the pre-licensure period, encouraging active engagement with the program's structures, supervision, and training groups. Approximately 88% of second-year fellows who seek staff positions at Lorenz following program completion find them here, with many current supervisors and clinical leaders being former fellows.

• Master's degree in psychology, clinical counseling, marriage and family therapy, social work, or closely related field from a regionally accredited program.
