Training Faculty

The Lorenz Clinic, LLC • Minneapolis, MN

12d • Onsite

About The Position

Lorenz Clinic is building a multi-site outpatient family psychology practice organized around the proposition that the relational environment a clinician inhabits during training is the curriculum. We believe clinics are civic institutions where human beings are shaped into practitioners, leaders, and citizens. Our clinical training programs span practicum, post-master's fellowship, clinical supervision, and leadership development across five sites, designed to move clinicians through developmental thresholds with deliberate containment. We are looking for a Training Faculty member to help build this clinical training institute, which integrates therapy, training, research, and clinical leadership development.

Serious clinical training is distinguished by a willingness to name and hold developmental thresholds explicitly, treating professional formation as a staged process. Each stage involves a qualitative shift in responsibility, from holding oneself and the client system in practicum, to consolidating clinical identity in post-master's fellowships, to becoming responsible for others' development as clinical supervisors, and ultimately holding teams, systems, and the institution itself at leadership levels.

Training Faculty work across this entire developmental arc, focusing on formation rather than remediation. This is a deliberate discipline involving named thresholds, explicit authority, deliberate pacing, and clear communication about readiness. Faculty work within a structured model led by an Associate Training Director, who reports to the CEO. This is a practitioner-level faculty role, not a program director role.
