Abstract

ABSTRACT: Within the counseling profession, an increase in counselor professional identity development research has been reported. Leadership skills have been assumed to be part of a counselor's identity; however, leadership identity development of counselors has not received significant attention in the literature. In this article, parallels between professional identity and leadership identity of counselors are explored, and recommendations for supporting this development are provided.
