About The Position

At Lorenz Clinic, psychotherapy isn’t a product-- it’s an interpersonal process. We’re a mission-driven, clinician-led family psychology institute where systems thinking, reflective practice, and relational depth form the foundation of our work. While many clinics are reorganizing themselves around productivity quotas, algorithmic care, and interchangeable services, we’ve chosen a different path—one that centers integrity, intellectual rigor, and clinical maturity. Here, excellence isn’t just preserved, it’s cultivated. We selectively hire full-time licensed therapists who want to work at depth, not on autopilot. Our team is made up of clinicians who approach complexity with humility, think systemically, and use the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for meaningful change , not just symptom management. If you’re looking for more than checklists and caseloads, if you want to practice in a thoughtful, rigorous, and human-centered clinical community, you may have just found your next professional home. About Lorenz Clinic Lorenz Clinic is not your typical mental health clinic—we are a clinician-led, post-graduate training institute focused on Family Psychology, grounded in the belief that psychotherapy should honor human complexity. Our mission is to heal the world one relationship at a time. We’re proud to be Minnesota’s first family psychology specialty clinic and the state’s first home for organized Post-Master’s Fellowships. But our aim has never been scale—it’s always been excellence. That’s why we hire fewer than 5% of applicants and invest deeply in those we do. Therapists who thrive here are relational by orientation and rigorous by training. They’re energized by reflective practice, conceptual thinking, and the shared task of advancing the field. We believe that symptoms are contextual, and that therapists need supportive systems of their own to do meaningful clinical work. That’s why we’ve embedded Reflective Practice into the core infrastructure of the clinic—not as a feature, but as a foundation. Training at Lorenz is not a sideline, it’s a lifeline. Roughly 40% of our clinical team is engaged in supervision, teaching, or development work at any given time. This is a place that thinks. Our training programs are nationally respected and clinically rich, and they sharpen every clinician, whether or not they’re directly involved. We’ve also built an evidence-based Clinician Wellness Roadmap rooted in fairness, peer support, and professional autonomy. We believe therapists deserve the same care and containment we expect them to offer. Our goal is to foster a system where clinicians can grow, reflect, and practice at the top of their craft—without compromising themselves in the process. About the Role At Lorenz Clinic, licensed psychotherapists serve in applied, meaningful roles, providing diagnostic assessment, psychotherapy, and treatment planning to a diverse clientele across the lifespan. Clinicians practice within their areas of competence and specialty, with support for developing clinical interests over time. Our clinics are embedded in Main Street communities, places where behavioral health access is too often out of reach. We’re not a boutique practice. We’re a relational home for those committed to the social mission of psychotherapy. Over 43% of our clients use Medicaid, and our sliding fee scale goes to zero, a tangible reflection of our values. Despite the complexity of our client population, our no-show rate is under 10%, a testament to the strength of our engagement practices and the quality of therapeutic relationships. Reflective Practice, ongoing consultation, and clinician well-being are central to our operations. We run a committee-driven Wellness Roadmap, backed by evidence and co-designed with staff input. This roadmap supports manageable caseloads, fairness, autonomy, and relational support, values our clinicians say make a real difference. In anonymous, third-party Gallup surveys, 95% of our clinicians say they would recommend Lorenz to a colleague. But it’s not just the systems that set us apart, it’s the people. In recent feedback, clinicians shared: “We have the best people… the best therapists and the best humans.” — Senior Clinician “I could make a mistake.” — Practicum Student “I knew I’d get through it because of the support.” — Post-Master’s Fellow “I have my life back.” — New Hire “Such a cohesive group.” — Clinical Manager “This is my therapy home… my forever job.” — Senior Clinician “Such an organized experience.” — Trainee
