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

The Lorenz Clinic • Minneapolis, MN

12d • 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 rather than high-volume billing. The program emphasizes a cohort model with interprofessional composition, rigorous training, and a specific clinical formation goal of producing psychotherapists who can work with clients in depth. The fellowship curriculum covers APA Competency Benchmark domains and includes extensive supervision, seminars, and case consultation.

Requirements

• Master's degree in psychology, clinical counseling, marriage and family therapy, social work, or closely related field from a regionally accredited program.
• Successful completion of a clinically focused master's-level practicum or internship where individual psychotherapy (including diagnosis, treatment planning, and ongoing therapeutic work) was the primary activity.
• For LICSW-track applicants: a social work degree alone is not sufficient; placements focused primarily on case management, care coordination, or generalist social work services do not meet this requirement.
• Declared licensure track (LICSW, LMFT, or LPCC in Minnesota).
• For social work track applicants: must hold a current, non-provisional LGSW before the start date.
• Completed master's-level practicum totaling at least 9-12 months of clinic-based formation where outpatient psychotherapy was the primary focus, prior to the start date.
• Placements that were primarily remote or telehealth will not be considered.
• Demonstrated track record of sequential, scaffolded clinical learning aimed at a career as a psychotherapist.
• Curiosity about what they do not yet know, openness to feedback requiring growth, and orientation toward the profession as a vocation rather than a credential.

Nice To Haves

• Prior preparation in systems thinking, group relations, or relational and psychodynamic intervention models.
• Bilingual candidates are strongly preferred.
• Cover letter addressing training goals, preferred track, commitment to the common good and profession, and a brief narrative of psychotherapy experience.

Responsibilities

• Provide psychotherapeutic services to a variety of clients under direct supervision.
• Carry an active caseload of approximately 12–18 clients, built gradually during the first months.
• Engage actively in the program's structures, including supervision, seminars, and case consultation.
• Bring real cases to consultation and use the supervisory relationship as an active collaboration.
• Participate in monthly PMF Seminars, weekly Didactic Seminars, and monthly Grand Rounds.
• Attend monthly case consultation sessions.
