You are invited to participate in a qualitative study that explores recent Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) program graduates� perceptions of their counseling self-efficacy (CSE) development during the field/internship phase of their counselor training. In order to participate, you must have earned your master�s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through a CACREP accredited institution, and have recently graduated from your program within the last year (0-12 months). I have a personal interest in helping counseling students and novice professional counselors develop confidence in their abilities to counsel clients, which is also referred to as counseling self-efficacy (CSE). If you want to share more about your own lived experiences with developing CSE during field/internship this is great opportunity for you! Your participation in this study will allow for recent CMHC graduates� voices to be heard about their experiences with developing confidence in their abilities to counsel clients during field/internship. In addition, your participation will help counselor educators and site supervisors to make meaningful adjustments to counselor education curriculum and/or internship training experiences in the future to better support students� professional development.
