Job description

Description

The mental health system and clinicians are slowly breaking under the weight of corporate interests, non-clinical leaders, and clinics prioritizing profits over quality care. Clinicians are overworked, undervalued, uninspired, and stripped of autonomy, forced into environments that fail to inspire or sustain them. At Lorenz Clinic, we’re different.

We prioritize excellence by hiring only the top 5% of therapists, ensuring you’ll work alongside smart, inspiring colleagues. We offer time to thrive: paid time off, paid burnout time, consultation, CEUs, holidays, and generous parental leave. You’ll have control over your workload, a supportive community, and a shared commitment to quality over profit.

Make a difference on Main Street, not Wall Street. Join Lorenz Clinic and help build the future of mental healthcare—clinician-led, inspiring, and sustainable. Join us, and never give up hope for what mental healthcare could be.

About Lorenz Clinic

Lorenz Clinic is not your typical mental health clinic—we're a clinician-led, family psychology institute built around excellence in both care and training. Our mission is to heal the world one relationship at a time. We’re proud to be the first family psychology specialty clinic in Minnesota, and the first to develop organized Post-Master’s Fellowships in the state. But we’re not the biggest—and that’s by design. We’re here to be the best.

Licensed therapists who thrive here are intellectually curious, relationally skilled, and drawn to big ideas. They want to work at a clinic where systems thinking, reflective practice, and relational intervention are more than buzzwords—they’re daily tools. Our clinicians aren’t burdened by trainees—they’re invigorated by being surrounded by growth, thoughtfulness, and a sense of shared purpose.

Lorenz is a training site by design, not default. At any given time, about 40% of our clinical team is involved in supervision, teaching, or professional development. Our training programs are nationally respected and highly selective—admitting only the top 5% of applicants. But training isn’t a side gig here—it’s a central source of vitality for our system. It keeps us sharp, connected, and committed to evolving the field.

We believe that in order to do good clinical work, you need a system that supports good clinical work. That’s why we’ve adopted an evidence-based Clinician Wellness Roadmap that includes autonomy, reasonable caseloads, peer connection, and meaningful alignment with our core values. Reflective Practice is part of the culture—something we protect and prioritize, not just a box to check.

Our licensed staff come from diverse backgrounds and represent a high bar of professionalism. We hire only the top tier of applicants and invest deeply in their development. The result is a clinic where you can practice at the highest level, surrounded by like-minded colleagues—whether or not you're directly involved in training.

If you’re a licensed therapist looking for a place that will challenge and support you, a place where depth and excellence are non-negotiable, Lorenz might be your next professional home.

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 intentionally embedded on Main Street in communities facing entrenched access disparities. Over 40% 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

Clinicians participate in regular case consultation, Grand Rounds, and team meetings as part of our collaborative culture. We are a place where clinical rigor meets community impact—where therapists grow alongside others who are deeply committed to both their craft and each other.

• Develop and implement individualized treatment and discharge plans
