Scholars (Choi et al., 2015; West-Olatunji et al., 2011) have demonstrated the benefits of an international immersion trip for counseling students, however, to date, there is limited literature on this experience for practicing clinicians. The current study focused on exploring the lived experiences of Black counselors (N = 6) engaging in an international immersion trip to Ghana. We identified six themes: (a) society without racism, (b) transgenerational trauma, (c) connection, (d) identity, (e) personal change, and (f) counseling practice. We discuss implications for counselor educators and clinicians and recommendations for future research.
