Lorenz Clinic is a group private practice focused on the mental health needs of children, families, and adults. While the majority of our services are provided under the umbrella of managed care, we have community partnerships that allow us to service those without insurance. Located on the edge of the Minneapolis Metropolitan area, our four locations (Victoria, Chaska, Prior Lake, and Rosemount) are located approximately 30-35 miles south/southwest of downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul and provide needed access to psychological services for both suburban and rural communities. In addition to its overall clinical mission, the clinic hosts a vibrant training program. The clinic is actively developing a vertically-integrated model of care that includes home-based, outpatient, day treatment, and medication management. Psychologists with special competency with children or families as well as bilingual candidates are especially encouraged to apply.

This position can be performed in-house or remotely, depending on candidate preferences.

The Training Program

A major highlight about Lorenz Clinic is that it is a training site. Our existing training program includes a master’s-level family therapy practicum placement, a post-master’s fellowship, and a postdoctoral psychology fellowship. The training program hosts a vibrant invited practitioner speaker series in addition to monthly grand rounds. Because the training program is an outgrowth of our fierce dedication to serving the underserved, we offer significantly reduced fee services to those in financial need. The clinic has existing relationships with area graduate programs in psychology and family therapy, but we are not beholden to any specific graduate schools. Training rotations are typically 12 months. More information about the larger training program can be found at https://lorenzclinic.com/join-us/education/clinical-training/
