Description

Description Full-time · Salaried · Benefits-eligible · W2 · This position may be eligible for student loan repayment. We are a training institution with a clinical practice — not a clinic that happens to supervise students. The supervisor's chair is where that distinction stops being a tagline and becomes the work. If you read "supervision" as hours to sign and a form to complete, this is not your posting. If you read it as a discipline in its own right — the first place a clinician becomes responsible for someone other than their own client — keep reading. The Clinic Lorenz Clinic is a psychology clinic built on the values and norms of professional psychology, known across Minnesota for the density of its doctorally-prepared clinicians and for a model of care that treats the second-order problems holding symptoms in place. We treat systems, not symptoms. We locate the presenting problem in its relational, developmental, and systemic context — because here there is no such thing as a problem that resides solely within the individual. Professionalism is our superordinate value, understood as obligation rather than polish — a duty to clients, to the field, and to the people we develop. Reflective practice is not a wellness amenity; it is our developmental spine. For the better part of two decades, Lorenz has been the psychotherapist's clinic — one of the few practices clinicians would entrust with their own career, and in many cases, their own family. The Department Supervisors work on an interdisciplinary mental health team — psychologists, marriage and family therapists, professional counselors, psychiatric clinicians, and clinical social workers — and hold one home department across a level of care matched to their preparation and interest: outpatient, intensive outpatient, or psychological testing. The supervisor seat is load-bearing. Supervision at Lorenz is not a scalable commodity bolted onto service delivery; it is a relational holding environment that protects trainees, patients, and the culture itself. Our training program is among the most selective in Minnesota, spanning master's practicum through specialty postdoctoral fellowship, and our internship and postdoctoral fellowships are APPIC-listed. About one in five clinicians here is involved in training at any given time. That is what lets us work on the field, not only in it — and it is part of why supervisors who take up the teaching role tend to stay well: using more than one professional muscle is among the more durable protections against burnout we know. We hold the holders. The clinical manager leads the pod; supervisors take up a differentiated voice inside its reflective consultation — naming patterns early, bringing real uncertainty, supporting the manager's authority without competing with it. The intellectual lineage is explicit and worn openly: Falender on competency-based supervision, alongside Yalom, Perry, Boss, Sue Johnson, and Bateson. We name our influences, because where you train shapes who you become. The Role This is a clinical and teaching position. You will deliver psychotherapy and provide clinical and administrative supervision to pre-licensed clinicians — typically at the practicum, internship, or post-degree fellowship stage. You will carry a small clinical caseload of at least 15 client sessions per week alongside approximately 5 supervisees. Limited call is possible depending on the host program. We select interventionists who are systemically aware, relationally skilled, and socially committed — clinicians who can say not only what they do but why it works. The clinic uses an industry-leading EHR with seamless interoperability across health systems, and our referral partners have learned to trust us with a high level of collaboration and specialized consultation. Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to: Providing clinical and administrative supervision as a distinct professional discipline — not as a credential held in reserve Carrying supervisory and patient caseloads as assigned Delivering mental health services including diagnostic assessment, treatment planning, psychotherapy, psychological testing where applicable, and discharge planning Assisting the Training Director in coordinating, organizing, and supervising trainees Reviewing supervisees' documentation and taking responsibility for the corresponding billing Ensuring documentation meets managed-care contract requirements and the professional standard Participating in monthly case consultation, Grand Rounds, business meetings, and reflective consultation Compliance with clinic documentation standards, licensing board rules, and the APA Code of Ethics What This Seat Actually Is Supervision is the first threshold at which a clinician stops being responsible only for their own work and becomes responsible for the development — and the developmental progression — of someone else. The field tends to treat this as a natural extension of clinical skill. It is not. Being an excellent clinician no longer guarantees readiness for the chair, any more than having had parents guarantees that one will parent well. Supervision is its own professional practice, and we hold it to its own standard. The supervisors who do this well hold rather than rescue. They can stay with a supervisee's difficulty long enough for the supervisee's own thinking to emerge, rather than resolving it for them. They keep boundaries clear, calibrate challenge against support, and remain a steady, differentiated presence when a hard case or a struggling trainee brings heat into the room. They understand the seat as the first rung of clinical stewardship: custody of the conditions under which other people grow, held with an eye on a horizon longer than their own tenure. Who Thrives Here The strongest candidates evidence a track record as an interventionist with a high degree of professional activity in the field — and they treat supervision as a craft to develop, not a box already checked. Clinical supervision is a required functional competency, not merely a credential. You will be assessed against a competency-based model of supervision (Falender & Shafranske), including ongoing structured supervisor self-assessment and an individualized supervisor learning plan. Holding the designation is the floor. Demonstrating the competency is the role. You are a psychotherapist, not a counselor. Relational and systemic psychotherapy competence is required. The clinicians who fit here organize their work around the transformation of underlying relational and developmental patterns — using the therapeutic relationship itself as the primary vehicle of change — rather than around skills delivery, symptom management, or crisis stabilization. You can traverse a full case formulation, root the presenting problem in the client's relational field, work with rupture and repair, and treat your own reactions in the room as information about the system. You will be expected to grow that same register in others. Reflective supervision competence is a major plus. The capacity to read a supervision group's functional state, to cultivate the conditions under which a supervisee will bring genuine struggle into the room, and to tell the difference between anxiety that signals growth and anxiety that signals a failure of the container is exactly what this seat exists to use. A word on fit, offered plainly. This is a development-centered environment, not a service to be consumed. We invest a great deal in our people and we ask a great deal in return; we are selective on both sides, and we are willing to say not yet. Clinicians who want a quiet caseload and a credential to maintain will be happier elsewhere, and we say so as a kindness. Everyone in this field eventually holds the same license. What differs is the person who holds it — and that is the difference we are hiring for. Clinicians are developed here, not consumed. Requirements The position requirements include, but are not limited to: A master's or doctoral degree in a mental health profession from an accredited academic program Full, unrestricted licensure as a Mental Health Professional in Minnesota (LP, LPCC, LICSW, or LMFT) At least 2 years providing clinical supervision post-licensure Designation as an approved supervisor with one's own licensing board Demonstrated competence in clinical supervision as a functional discipline, assessable against a competency-based supervision framework Relational and systemic psychotherapy competence Reflective supervision competence (preferred) Formal training in child or family therapy (preferred) BBHT-approved supervisor status (strongly preferred) Benefits This position may be eligible for student loan repayment. Full-time, independently licensed clinicians enjoy a robust benefits package that includes paid burnout time and an annual CEU allowance. Employer-sponsored health, dental, vision, and life insurance are available, along with short- and long-term disability. A 401(k) with matching is available, as are tuition reimbursement and privately-funded student loan forgiveness. Paid time off, paid holidays, paid service/volunteer time, paid continuing education hours, paid parental leave, an employee assistance program, a flexible schedule, and professional development support round out the offering. Did we mention student loan repayment and paid burnout time? As an active training clinic, most clinicians here earn roughly 100 hours per year of board-approved continuing education simply by showing up to work. The clinic hosts an annual conference, monthly Grand Rounds, and four hours per month of case consultation with a specialist.

Compensation The hiring range for this position is $90,000 – $150,000 annually, depending on experience, credentials, breadth of clinical competence, and clinical program. The hiring range for independently licensed master's clinicians (LICSW, LMFT, LPCC) is $90,000 – $130,000, and the hiring range for doctorally-prepared licensed psychologists (LP) is $125,000 – $150,000.
