ABSTRACT
Using grounded theory analysis, we examined the leadership and advocacy practices of seven site supervisors in clinical mental health settings. We explored how participants make room for leadership and advocacy for themselves and counselor trainees, despite their complex and busy schedules. Five overarching themes emerged that supported a theory grounded in the data. The five themes were: (a) modeling, (b) involving, (c) engaging, (d) empowering, and (e) pushing. Implications and specific suggestions for site supervisors and counselor education programs are provided.
