Aims & Scope

The Journal of Counselor Leadership & Advocacy (JCLA), a publication of Chi Sigma Iota Counseling Academic and Professional Honor Society International, provides professional counselors, counselor educators, and counseling students with research and evidence-based recommendations in topics that promote scholarship, research, professionalism, leadership, advocacy, and excellence in counseling.

Through high-quality research, scholarship, and professional dialogue, the primary purposes of this peer-reviewed journal are to promote the development of leaders to serve in diverse counseling settings, bring awareness to professional and client advocacy initiatives, and provide a forum for discussing professional issues.

JCLA welcomes empirical, theoretical, and conceptual manuscripts focused on leadership, professional and client advocacy, and professional identity for counselors, counseling students, and counselor educators.

Because evidence-based practice is at the heart of the counseling profession, JCLA will occasionally publish exemplary scholarship related to evidence-based practice in counseling practice, supervision, and education.

JCLA is focused on promoting leadership and advocacy in all professional counseling settings and specialties (e.g., counselor education, school counseling, clinical counseling, and rehabilitation counseling).
