Community-Based Therapist (CIBHS)

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 integrated 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 community-based department helps ensure we’re literally meeting clients where they’re at– treating second order problems, not just symptoms. Working alongside psychiatry providers, psychologists, and family therapists with access to testing and higher levels of care, psychotherapists treat children who are being held by a clinic system and interprofessional treatment team. Lorenz Clinic is certified in CTSS and CIBHS with the Minnesota Department of Health. The clinical model of the program is Attachment Regulation Competency (ARC). 

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 providers 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 provide trauma-focused Children’s Intensive Behavioral Health Services (CIBHS) and CTSS services to clients in an applied, clinical, community-based and outpatient settings. You’ll engage in regular consultee-focused case consultation and maintain a rich schedule of continuing education events. While much of your work will be meeting clients in their community, you’ll enjoy the support that comes from a deep network of like minded professionals. 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 CIBHS and CTSS services including conducting diagnostic assessments, treatment planning, psychotherapy, psychological testing, and discharge planning for patients of the clinic according to MN Statute 256B.0946
