Abstract

This grounded theory study comprised the perspectives of how past and current Black doctoral students formalized their professional identity in counselor education. Findings included reflexivity as a central theme within the internal process of Black doctoral students navigating counselor education programs and a model of professional identity development.

Public Significance Statement

This study suggests Black doctoral students handle counselor education programs with greater inner reflection and observation (reflexivity) due to dealing with culturally relevant barriers and stressors. Findings include a model of professional identity development focusing on the internal process of pursuing careers in counselor education which may be useful across fields.
