Training Director, Post-Master's Fellowship

About the role

The Post-Master's Fellowship takes pre-licensed master's clinicians to independent licensure across two years, on the LICSW, LMFT, and LPCC tracks. The work of this role is not the clinical caseload itself. It is the conditions under which that clinical work is done well, and under which a master's-level clinician becomes an independent practitioner.

Responsibilities

• Hold the two-year Fellowship arc as its steadiest presence and organizing center, calibrated to where each cohort actually is rather than to where the calendar says it should be.
• Own the Fellowship seminar: a protected full-day seminar each month, eight hours with the full cohort, built around the sixteen APA Competency Benchmark domains, combining didactic instruction, structured experiential learning, an invited practitioner-scholar, and small-group discussion.
• Maintain curricular coherence across the two years, and coordinate with the practicum program's leadership so the full graduate-school-to-licensure arc coheres rather than fragmenting at the seam between the two programs.
• Run supervisor operations: supervisor assignment and matching, coordination across sites, standards and consistency, and accountability for the quality of supervision fellows receive.
• Steward the broader training structure: eight hours of supervision per fellow per month (four with a doctorally prepared psychologist, four with a professional supervisor); monthly case consultation held deliberately separate from evaluation, so fellows can bring the cases they are genuinely uncertain about; a weekly didactic hour shared with doctoral interns; and monthly grand rounds.
• Make advancement, remediation, and occasional exit decisions within the Fellowship, on time and on principle, without escalating them upward by default.
• Provide administrative supervision to the fellows: the managerial line, distinct from clinical supervision, which sits with others.
• Carry a clinical caseload. The Associate Training Director is a practicing psychotherapist, not a full-time administrator.

Qualifications

• Doctoral degree in psychology, marriage and family therapy, or a closely related field (PhD or PsyD).
• Independent clinical licensure in Minnesota, as a Licensed Psychologist or a doctoral-level LMFT at the independent practice level, or documented eligibility with a defined timeline.
• Board certification in the relevant field.
