Abstract

Gatekeeping in counselor education is a core ethical responsibility of counselor educators and supervisors to ensure the beneficence and maleficence of clients, but also the promotion of a strong counselor identity and career. Most gatekeepers see this role as critical and make efforts to make gatekeeping a growing experience rather than purely disciplinary. Nonetheless, counseling students enter the field with trauma only to have it compounded in gatekeeping scenarios. More holistic approaches to gatekeeping provide mentorship of the whole counselor and focus on internal and external growth rather than punitive action. When holding both the need to provide effective gatekeeping strategies and also support student's identity and emotional growth, relational cultural theory provides a good structure to help navigate this terrain. Relational cultural theory provides guidelines that support multiple gatekeeping relationships, such as triadic gatekeeping and support best practices and relational building in gatekeeping relationships.
