In this qualitative study, 8 Hispanic counseling student interns who were enrolled in a regional university told the story of their professional identity development. Qualitative analysis of the transcripts of audiotaped semistructured interviews revealed 7 general themes: (a) knowledge, (b) personal growth, (c) experience, (d) relationships, (e) accomplishment, (f) costs, and (g) perceptions of the counseling profession. Results may provide counselor educators with direction in facilitating the socialization of Hispanic graduate counseling students into the counseling profession.
