Prior Lake, Minnesota, United States Lorenz Clinic Full time
Job Type

Full-time

Description

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

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.
