<p>In counseling
psychology, which counts social justice and multiculturalism issues among its
central values, international students represent a sizeable student body.
However, there has been concerns about whether the training programs and filed
are providing adequate support and training experiences for international
students. Considering unique nature of international students experience in
counseling psychology and needs for individualized support, the researcher
sought to explore international students’ mentoring experience, an effective
form of guidance. To understand the complex nature of international students’
mentoring experience, Chat et al.’s (2015) multicultural, ecological, and
relational model of mentoring was used as theoretical framework of the current
study. Through CQR, the researcher pursued an in-depth understanding of
international students’ mentoring experiences. The results of the current study
provided valuable information of international students’ contextual factors in
understanding mentoring experience, international students’ perception of their
mentoring experiences, importance of quality mentoring relationship, impacts of
mentorship, and examples of negative experiences in mentoring relationship. Finally,
I provide implications for current and future mentors of international
students, for international students in counseling psychology, and for training
programs and the field of counseling psychology. </p>
