The counseling field is predicated on seeing a need and striving to fill it, and in so doing ensure that individuals are given proper mental health care, are aided in their educational process, or assisted in their journey toward a more fulfilling life. One issue that inhibits counselors from serving in this capacity is problematic values among counselors which may include prejudicial attitudes and beliefs toward minoritized groups. Thus, this researcher, through this study, examined how counselor educators identify and navigate situations when a graduate student in a counseling program demonstrates values that run counter to the ethical principles espoused by the counseling field. The findings indicated that there were issues with institutional pressures on faculty to meet enrollment needs, varied faculty understanding of gatekeeping and how personal values are defined, concern for students' ability to be authentic, problems with students who espouse rigid beliefs about right and wrong, faculty needing cohesive relationships, students being unaware of their values, redeemability of concerning student values, students who were actively discriminatory against faculty or other students, and the hostility of conservative political beliefs toward minoritized groups. These findings indicated there is a lack of counselor educators' understanding of values and honest conversations about student values, a need for incorporating values into gatekeeping, room for better collegiality among counselor educators as colleagues, and a necessity of clearer pedagogical models.
