“…It is a transformative process that takes place as the individual moves from external or structural guidelines to an internal or attitudinal conceptualization of one's role as a professional (Brott & Myers, 1999). Hence, providing intentional learning experiences that promote professional identity development among school counselors-in-training are important to the transition from student to entry-level professional (Woo et al, 2017). The transition process moves from what has been learned (i.e., comfort zone) to one's authorship of a professional identity (i.e., edge-emotions, mindsight).…”

The authors present an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) case study used to uncover the meaning-making system of professional identity development experienced by a graduate student completing a two-semester school counseling internship. The intern engaged in critical self-reflections as weekly vloggings, which are single-turn video monologs. The rigor of IPA allowed the researchers to explore the intern’s personal reflexivity as a space between what the intern was doing and his process of becoming a professional. The super-ordinate theme that emerged from the analysis in this case study was connecting the dots. . . it’s all about the kids. Findings from this research have implications in higher education and professional studies for creating a transformative learning environment and engaging individuals in the professional identity development process.

“…Consequently, it induces ambiguity in the concept of professional identity in counseling, affecting the welfare and performance of counselors (Havlik, Ciarletta, & Crawford, 2018;Upton, 2012). A study conducted by Woo, Lu, Harris, and Cauley (2017) discovers that research on counseling professional identity is scattered and has not accommodated various scopes of the counselor's workplace, such as the situation during their education process, their counseling services in schools, and their educators.…”

“…These professional behaviors have been independently investigated in the research conducted by Herdi, Kartadinata, and Taufiq (2019), which classified six influential factors of the wisdom of a counselor. Different from the structure of professional identity formulated by Puglia (2008), which consists of three components, this six components structure is more detailed and capable of revealing a counselor's professional identity more deeply (Scott, 2018;H. Woo et al, 2017;H.…”
