Wanted: Mental Health Practitioner - LICSW, LMFT or LPCC

Vinland National Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides SUD treatment to adults with disabilities, specializing in cognitive deficits and traumatic brain injuries.

We are looking for an LPCC, LMFT, or LICSW with their master’s degree to join our Mental Health team. This individual must possess full, unrestricted licensure as a mental health professional in Minnesota or is license eligible.

Our mental health clinicians have a variety of job duties that they fulfill, in a supportive, caring, environment at our residential treatment location in Loretto, MN.  Located just 9 miles west of Wayzata, we are situated on a stunning, 178 acres of restored prairie, forest, and lakefront.  We share a gravel entrance road with the YMCA Camp Ihduhapi, and staff have often said they can ‘feel their blood pressure go down as soon as they turn onto our gravel road’. A serene, nature-focused environment provides our patients with peace and serenity hard to find elsewhere in their lives, and this translates to staff, as well.

Activities our clinicians have led for their patients include taking them for a group session on our Pontoon boat, or teaching them to fish as part of a mindfulness session; from baking cookies or having a BBQ at the chalet, to helping patients teach each other about their culture, with an Indigenous meal and smudging around a campfire. These are just a few of the creative ways our clinicians have utilized our space and location. The possibilities are endless!

Vinland’s residential program for males has 61 patients, 10 substance use disorder case managers, and 4 mental health professionals on staff conducting mental health groups and one-on-one meetings, which compliments the case managers’ work immensely. We also have a psychologist and psychiatrist on staff.  Because we work with a more specialized population, clinicians generally have smaller group sizes, between 8-10 patients, depending on census.

Of course, there are other requirements Vinland abides by, including all of our clinicians understanding and complying with the standard of ethics as established by the Minnesota Department of Health/Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy, and participation as a member of Vinland’s interdisciplinary team in a manner which promotes professionalism, client/patient-centered services, and staff cooperation. A full job description would be available at the interview (or upon request).

Basic description:

  • The ability to competently and independently provide psychotherapy to adult patients
  • Evidence of a high level of professionalism within the field
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary treatment team
  • Excellent interpersonal and written/verbal communication skills
  • Ability to engage with patients who may be ambivalent about treatment
  • Ability to adapt interventions to patients’ strengths, skills, and developmental levels
  • Commitment to empowering patients to solve their own problems when necessary
  • Ability to intervene decisively, when necessary, to protect patient safety
  • Ability to comply with clinic documentation standards and best professional practices
  • Ability to maintain a full caseload as defined by clinic

Salary range: $65,000 – 70,000 depending on experience

License/Certification:

  • LPCC (Preferred)
  • LICSW (Preferred)
  • LMFT (Preferred)

  • Loretto, MN 55357: Relocate before starting work (Required)
