Reflections on Becoming Feminist Therapists: Honoring Our Feminist Mentors

correspondence to Markie L. C. Blumer, Department of Marriage and Family Therapy, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Box 453045, 4505 Maryland Parkway, Las Vegas, A dearth of literature on feminist clinical mentorship exists. Seldom is one afforded the opportunity to trace one's developmental roots as a feminist, reflect on the process of becoming a feminist-informed clinician, and to express gratitude and appreciation for those feminists who acted as mentors and/or influenced one's development as a feminist clinician. In this piece we discuss our experiences of feminist clinical mentoring and honor our feminist mentors and/or influences. We explore our feminist roots through the tracing of our intergenerational feminist mentoring tree and discuss the profound effect that the mentoring relationship had on the development of our professional and personal identities.
