Description

The Clinic

Simply stated, Lorenz is a psychology clinic, founded on the values and norms of professional psychology. The clinic is known for its relative density of doctorally-prepared clinicians. The model of care leverages interdisciplinary treatment teams to treat the second-order problems that hold symptoms in place. Few mental health clinics offer psychiatric providers the opportunity to work in such an applied, outpatient clinic setting so interprofessional in nature. 

Practicing at Lorenz Clinic is marked by a high degree of professionalism, our superordinate core value. A sense of social obligation pervades our work, which drives our focus on delivering quality services. The clinic engages in Reflective Practice, which ensures our workplace is conducive to the work itself. 

Interprofessional training is the keystone of our system. At any given time, about 20% of the clinicians at Lorenz are involved in training in one way or another. The training program is one of the most selective in Minnesota, with placements ranging from master’s practicum to specialty postdoctoral psychology fellowship and everything in between. Simply put, training allows us to work on the field, not just in it. This enlivens the practice at all levels and adds dimension and meaning to our work.

Rather than crowing about the latest burnout-focused gimmicks, Lorenz Clinic has adopted an evidence-based clinician wellness roadmap aimed at ensuring autonomy, choice, a reasonable workload, social connectivity, fairness, and actualization of our core values (and yes, our core values are clinically relevant).

The Department

Working alongside psychiatry providers and family therapists with access to testing and higher levels of care, staff psychologists treat clients who are being held by a clinic system and interprofessional treatment team.

Psychologists at Lorenz often serve in leadership roles at Lorenz. Providers aren’t pigeon-holed working with high acuity cases in isolation and have autonomy to choose the types of cases best suited to their competence and interest. The practice enjoys deep, special relationships with referring PCPs that have grown to trust the department to deliver a high level of collaboration and specialized consultation.

The clinic’s training department is an affiliate of a number of area graduate programs and has an APPIC-losted postdoc and internships, which allow the team to have a hand in training the next generation of psychologists for the betterment of the profession itself– for society’s benefit. This allows psychologists who wish the opportunity to provide in clinical supervision; using more than one “muscle” is one of the most effective means of avoiding burnout. 

The Role

The Supervising Psychologist role specializes in providing clinical supervision, treatment supervision, and didactics to therapy practicum students, post-master's fellows, doctoral interns, and postdoctoral fellows. They also provide a limited amount of direct care to clients, most often children, adults, and/or families. As a member of the supervisory staff, they serve as local clinical experts. This position could be housed at any one of the system's locations, depending on candidate preference. Bilingual candidates and those with demonstrated excellence in the Specialty Competencies of either Clinical Child and Adolescent or Couple and Family Psychology are especially encouraged to apply.

• Facilitating group supervision and providing didactic presentations
• Attending and participating in monthly case consultation, Grand Rounds, business meetings, and other meetings as required by Clinic
• Performing in-house case consultation for staff, as assigned
• Compliance with licensing board rules and APA code of ethics

This supervisor role is senior to the Staff Psychologist. It reports directly to the relevant clinical program manager and indirectly to the Training Director.

Did we mention paid burnout time?

Above all, adding Lorenz Clinic to your resume is a distinctive badge of professionalism and quality recognized the field over. For the past decade and a half, Lorenz has been known as the psychotherapist’s clinic– one of the few practices many clinicians would entrust with their career or in many cases, their own family.
