Abstract

ABSTRACT A counselor’s understanding of a client’s identity is crucial in culturally competent counseling. When counselors conceptualize clients from a singular lens, they may develop clinical blind spots in which crucial components of identity and context are ignored, the lived experience is missed, and counseling effectiveness becomes difficult to attain. In this article, the concept of intersectionality and its importance to counseling practice is discussed. Further, three creative interventions to explore intersectionality are presented. Finally, implications and recommendations for counselor education, supervision, and practice are explored.
