While suffering from gendered racism experiences, Black women are at a higher risk for developing chronic physical and mental health conditions. Furthermore, Black women in doctoral programs are more likely to experience inadequate support and guidance that can ultimately hinder professional development and progress. The current literature has highlighted mental health outcomes associated with chronic exposure to racism; however, within the context of counseling psychology, there is a dearth of research that examines how racism within training programs impact the mental health and professional development for Black women. This grounded theory study aims to understand and describe the process of how experiences of gendered racism and other racism experiences impact the mental health and professional development of Black women. Utilizing semi-structured interviews, via video-conferencing, Black women were interviewed and discussed their experiences of gendered racism experiences during their training in counseling psychology doctoral programs. Findings from the present study suggest that counseling psychology programs have demonstrated inconsistency between their professional values (i.e., social justice and multiculturalism) and exhibited behaviors which contribute to Black women's experiences of gendered racism. Recommendations encourage counseling psychology to recommit to professional values and expand knowledge around sociocultural factors that impact Black women's lived experiences. Additionally, counseling psychology is encouraged to improve strategies for recruitment and retention of Black students and faculty.
