Abstract: Mentorship of graduate students in counselor education is an important part of their training. Although there is adequate literature on models of supervision, there is paucity of research on approaches to mentorship that can be used by doctoral counselor education faculty. This article adds to the existing literature by exploring approaches that provide mentoring frameworks for counselor education faculty. We focus on the discussion of three models: relational cultural theory (RCT), self-compassion model and self-determination theory (SDT). We provide an example using case vignette to demonstrate the application of each of these frameworks as a mentor in doctoral counselor education program. Based on the review of these relationally based models, we discuss implications and offer recommendations for future research in mentoring doctoral counselor education students.
