Staff Psychologist - Glencoe, United States - Lorenz Clinic

Description

Job Type

Full-time

Description

Simply stated, Lorenz is a psychology clinic, founded on the values and norms of professional psychology. The clinic is known for its relative density of doctorally-prepared clinicians. The model of care leverages interdisciplinary treatment teams to treat the second-order problems that hold symptoms in place. Few mental health clinics offer psychiatric providers the opportunity to work in such an applied, outpatient clinic setting so interprofessional in nature.

Practicing at Lorenz Clinic is marked by a high degree of professionalism, our superordinate core value. A sense of social obligation pervades our work, which drives our focus on delivering quality services. The clinic engages in Reflective Practice, which ensures our workplace is conducive to the work itself.

Interprofessional training is the keystone of our system. At any given time, about 20% of the clinicians at Lorenz are involved in training in one way or another. The training program is one of the most selective in Minnesota, with placements ranging from master's practicum to specialty postdoctoral psychology fellowship and everything in between. Simply put, training allows us to work on the field, not just in it. This enlivens the practice at all levels and adds dimension and meaning to our work.

Rather than crowing about the latest burnout-focused gimmicks, 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 (and yes, our core values are clinically relevant).

The Department

The Integrated Behavioral Health department at Lorenz is embedded into Glencoe Regional Health, providing psychological services alongside primary care physicians and other medical personnel. Working alongside psychiatry providers and family therapists with access to testing and higher levels of care, staff psychologists treat clients who are being held by a clinic system and interprofessional treatment team.

Psychologists at Lorenz often serve in leadership roles at Lorenz. Providers 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.

The clinic's training department is an affiliate of a number of area graduate programs and has an APPIC-losted postdoc and internships, which allow the team to have a hand in training the next generation of psychologists for the betterment of the profession itself- for society's benefit. This allows psychologists who wish the opportunity to provide in clinical supervision; using more than one "muscle" is one of the most effective means of avoiding burnout.

The Role

This position will include carrying a caseload of psychotherapy clients in addition to providing intermittent consultation to primary care physicians. Psychotherapists with special competency with IBH, children or families as well as bilingual candidates are especially encouraged to apply. Lorenz maintains a relatively high psychologist ratio, strong referral base, and a variety of integrated mental health services including in-house psychological testing, intensive groups, and psychotherapy. The clinic selects interventionists who are relationally-focused and socially-committed. The clinic uses an industry-leading EHR that allows for seamless interoperability with other health systems, enabling a high level of collaboration between systems of care. There is no call with this position.

Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• The provision of psychological services including conducting diagnostic assessments, treatment planning, psychotherapy, psychological testing, and discharge planning for patients of the clinic in a medical, integrated care setting
• Carrying patient caseload as assigned
• The provision of clinical and administrative supervision
• Assisting the Training Director in coordinating, organizing, and supervising trainees
• Reviewing supervisees' documentation and taking responsibility for any corresponding billing
• Ensuring such documentation is consistent with managed care contracts and the professional standard
• Attending and participating in monthly case consultation, Grand Rounds, business meetings, and other meetings as required
• Compliance with clinic documentation standards
• Compliance with licensing board rules and APA Code of Ethics

Requirements

Job Requirements

The most successful candidates will evidence a track record of service as an interventionist with a high degree of professional activity within the field. The position requirements include but are not limited to:

• A doctoral degree in psychology from an APA accredited academic program
• Full, unrestricted licensure as a psychologist in Minnesota
• At least 2 years providing clinical supervision (preferred)
• Formal training in child or family therapy (preferred)
• Previous experience in integrated care preferred

Benefits

Full-time psychologists enjoy a robust benefits package that includes paid burnout time, twelve weeks of paid parenting leave regardless of gender, and employer-sponsored medical, dental, vision, life, and short- and long-term disability insurance. A 401k with employer match is available. Paid time off, paid holidays, paid service/volunteer time, paid continuing education hours, and a continuing education allowance round out the offering. Did we mention paid burnout time?

As an active training clinic, most psychologists at Lorenz earn about 100 hours per year of board-approved continuing education just from showing up to work. The clinic hosts an annual conference, monthly grand rounds, and four hours per month of case consultation with a specialist.

Above all, adding Lorenz Clinic to your resume is a distinctive badge of professionalism and quality recognized the field over. For the past decade and a half, Lorenz has been known as the psychotherapist's clinic- one of the few practices many clinicians would entrust with their career or in many cases, their own family.
