Full-time

Description

Note: this position may be eligible for student loan repayment . This is a full- time, salaried, benefits-eligible, W2 position with the potential of earning more than one would in private practice.

Lorenz Clinic has chosen excellence in psychological services and training rather than growth at all costs like larger clinics. Our duty to the public is our North Star, leading us to select the most reflective, well-prepared, professional staff because that's what drives psychotherapeutic change and the best training. Lorenz Clinic has led on the basis of excellence since its inception, distinguished by its clinically-relevant core values. The clinic was founded on the ideals of interprofessionalism and engages in Reflective Practice, which ensures our workplace is conducive to the work itself.

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.

The Department

The IOP department offers intensive, relational psychotherapy groups for children and adults. The IOP program is not a generalist program; it leverages interpersonal process to bring about change through offering corrective interpersonal experiences for children and adults who have experienced relational injuries. Working alongside psychiatry providers and family therapists with access to testing and higher levels of care, psychotherapists treat clients who are being held by a clinic system and interprofessional treatment team.

Clinicians at Lorenz 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.

Supervising clinicians will be interested to know Lorenz's training department is an affiliate of a number of area graduate programs. Lorenz pioneered post-master's fellowships in Minnesota, and it's a model that's now been replicated the field over. At the time of its inception, our fellowship was relatively novel in the region, and we consider it to be our clinic's main contribution to the field. Working on the field, not just in it, enlivens our work and gives it dimension and meaning, which are integral to wellness and balance in the workplace.

The Role

In this role, you'll function as a licensed mental health therapist providing psychological services to clients in an applied, clinical, outpatient setting. You'll engage in regular consultee-focused case consultation and maintain a rich schedule of continuing education events. You'll likely earn 100 CEUs per year, just from showing up to work. You'll have pay and caseload size options and choice, and your clients will mostly be assigned based on your passion, interests, and competence.

Lorenz maintains favorable, interprofessional staffing ratios with each of the mental health professions represented. Clinicians have the ability to coordinate with and leverage in-house psychological testing, intensive groups, and psychiatry. The clinic selects interventionists who are relationally-focused and socially-committed, and folks just so happen to make the best colleagues.. Lorenz uses an industry-leading EHR that allows for seamless interoperability with other health systems, enabling a high level of collaboration between systems of care.

• The provision of psychological services including conducting diagnostic assessments, treatment planning, individual/family/group psychotherapy, psychological testing, and discharge planning for patients of the clinic
