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

The Lorenz Clinic • Minnetonka, MN

13d • Onsite

About The Position

Lorenz Clinic of Family Psychology is hiring full-time, salaried, benefits-eligible post-master's fellows for its 2026 two-year psychotherapy training program in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan area. The in-person fellowship is for pre-licensed mental health clinicians pursuing Minnesota LICSW, LMFT, or LPCC licensure. It is a structured, cohort-based clinical training placement intended to support developmental learning rather than high-volume billing or productivity targets. Fellows receive a gradually built caseload, supervision, consultation, and curriculum shaped around their developmental stage and learning goals.

The program aims to develop psychotherapists who work relationally and systemically, use the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for change, and formulate cases in depth. Its curriculum addresses all 16 APA Competency Benchmark domains and includes monthly supervision, a monthly full-day cohort seminar, weekly didactic seminars, monthly grand rounds, and monthly case consultation. Fellows provide psychotherapy to a variety of clients under direct supervision and typically carry approximately 12–18 active clients. Available tracks include outpatient psychotherapy and intensive outpatient group psychotherapy; assignment depends on the fellow's learning goals, preparation, and program needs.

The role offers a salary of $51,000–$90,000 per year, based on qualifications, caseload, and program track. Pay-for-performance compensation is available at the fellow's election, while the fellowship is designed to prioritize learning depth over volume. A cover letter and CV are required through the online portal for the preferred clinic location. The cover letter should address training goals, preferred track, commitment to the profession and common good, and psychotherapy experience.

Requirements

• Master's degree in psychology, clinical counseling, marriage and family therapy, social work, or a 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.

• LICSW-track applicants must have psychotherapy-focused placement experience; case management, care coordination, or generalist social work placements do not meet this requirement.
