Counseling professionals who identify as people of color, women, and gender or sexual minorities commonly suppress or negotiate their personal identities due to experiencing adversity. We describe findings from a narrative inquiry of counselor educators' experiences negotiating marginalized identities. Implications for intersectional praxis—including reflexivity, mentorship, and power deconstruction—are discussed.
