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. It is not a high-volume billing role, with caseload, supervision, and curriculum structured around the fellow's developmental stage and learning goals rather than productivity targets. The program follows a cohort model, intentionally composed of clinicians from counseling, marriage and family therapy, social work, and psychology, fostering an intellectually serious, collegially rich, and demanding learning environment. The fellowship addresses all 16 APA Competency Benchmark domains through various training activities.

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.
Practicum placements that were primarily remote or telehealth will not be considered.
Demonstrate a track record of sequential, scaffolded clinical learning aimed at a career as a psychotherapist.
Be curious about what you do not yet know, open to feedback that requires growth, and oriented toward the profession as a vocation rather than a credential.
