Dear Colleagues,
I hope you are well. I am seeking participants for a qualitative study, exploring male
counselors’ experiences of vulnerability, specific to their work with clients.
Criteria for participation:
- Must identify as male.
- Over the age of 18.
- Hold a Master’s or Doctoral degree in counseling, from a CACREP-accredited
counseling program.

supervisor.

Participants will be asked to participate in three 1-hour qualitative interviews via Skype
or a similar kind of videoconferencing software. Participants will also be asked to write
one reflective journal entry. No more than 5 hours of time will be spent on the entirety of
research participation. Participants will receive a $15 gift card to Starbucks, Amazon, or
iTunes upon completion of the study.
