Dear Dr. Foreman, 😊



I hope this email finds you well. I am Lien Nguyen, a counselor education doctoral candidate at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi. I am working on my dissertation which is developing an instrument that measures COUNSELING IMPOSTOR characteristics in CLINICAL PRACTICE for our counseling profession to use at no cost. At least 300 counseling professionals are needed (by May 15, 2023) for this scale to be developed. Therefore, I am wondering if you can help spread the words of this Dissertation Research Participation Invitation to counselors-in-training in the department at your institution and/or counselors in the local community that you know. I would really appreciate that. Please see the recruitment materials/flyer attached below for more information and for access to the survey. Thank you very much and please let me know what you think about this. I really appreciate that. I will look forward to hearing from you soon and I hope you have a wonderful day! 😊





                PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR RESEARCH IN COUNSELING IMPOSTORS

We are looking for volunteers to take part in a study “Development and Validation of Counseling Impostor Scale (CIS)” fully funded by the Association for Assessment and Research in Counseling (AARC).

As a participant in this study, you would be asked to:

  *   Take a brief anonymous survey, including items containing your demographic information, screening questions, self-reporting experience with impostor characteristics and burn-out.
  *   Your participation would take 16-20 minutes to complete the one-time survey (many people complete it in 7-10 minutes).
  *   Your participation is voluntary. You will receive a 7-dollar amazon electronic gift card after you complete the survey. The gift card will be given to you between the time you complete the survey and the end of May 2023.

To qualify for this study, you must be:

  *   counselor-in-training enrolling in counseling practicum/internship courses from either a CACREP or non-CACREP accredited program, or
  *   practicing counselor having at least a bachelor’s degree (in any majors) and maybe holding appropriate practice credentials (e.g., NCC, LMHC, LMHC-Associate, LPC, LPC-Associate, LMFT, LMFT-Associate, LPC-S, Certified School Counselors, LCDC, LCDCI, etc.)

Thank you very much and please let me know if you have any questions. I need to collect 250 more participants by May 15, 2023 to graduate.
