Post-Master's Fellowship

You've been in graduate school learning to do this work. Now what?

Most pre-licensed clinicians leave their programs well-prepared and largely on their own — assembling supervision here, a caseload there, hoping the hours accumulate in the right categories before the money runs out. The worst-case scenario is a throughput role where your learning is the first casualty.

Lorenz Clinic's Post-Master's Fellowship was built because the pre-licensure period deserves better than that.

Salary: $51,000–$90,000 | Full-time | Salaried | W-2 | Full benefits | Minneapolis–St. Paul metro.

What the Fellowship Is

A two-year, full-time, salaried training position for clinicians pursuing LICSW, LMFT, or LPCC licensure in Minnesota. Nationally competitive — each year a small cohort is selected from over a thousand applicants, roughly half of whom relocate from across the country.

Lorenz Clinic was the first in Minnesota to offer an organized, competency-based post-master's fellowship. We consider it our most significant contribution to the profession.

What's Included

• 8 hours/month of supervision — including 4 hours with a doctorally prepared psychologist
• Full-day monthly seminar addressing all 16 APA Competency Benchmark domains
• Weekly didactic seminar alongside doctoral psychology interns — ethics, attachment, object relations, trauma, family systems, neuroscience, and more
• Monthly Grand Rounds (CE-eligible)
• Monthly case consultation — formulation-based, non-evaluative
• ~100 hours/year of board-approved CE built into the work itself
• Caseload of 12–18 clients built gradually around your learning goals, not billing targets

Benefits include student loan repayment, medical/dental/vision, 401(k) with employer match, paid parental leave, and Paid Burnout Time.

Who We're Looking For

Clinicians who are genuinely curious about what they don't yet know. Who approach supervision as an active collaboration rather than a service to receive. Who chose this field as a vocation, not a credential.

Minimum: master's degree in counseling, MFT, social work, or related field; clinically focused in-person practicum where outpatient individual psychotherapy was the primary activity; declared LICSW, LMFT, or LPCC track in Minnesota.

LICSW-track applicants: a social work degree alone is not sufficient — we require demonstrated psychotherapy formation specifically. Bilingual candidates strongly preferred.

After the Fellowship

Approximately 88% of second-year fellows who seek staff positions at Lorenz find them here. Many current supervisors and clinical leaders are PMF alumni. Alumni have gone on to private practice, policy leadership, doctoral programs, and professional association leadership.

To Apply

A cover letter is required. Applications without one will not be considered. Address your training goals, preferred track, and a brief narrative of your psychotherapy experience.
