Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to understand how early career Women of Color (WOC) in school-based mental health fields experienced a structured, group-based approach to help them navigate the imposter syndrome. The researchers employed a case study design to examine the women’s experiences. Findings revealed that participants developed critical consciousness about imposter syndrome, recognizing the systemic and oppressive underpinnings of the construct, and acquired helpful strategies for dismantling their experiences of imposter syndrome (e.g., gaining support from other women) in their professional lives. The authors conclude this paper with implications for future research among WOC in professional careers.
