Abstract	This qualitative study described the experiences of master‘s level counseling students who have a counselor education faculty member as their mentor. Seven master‘s level counseling students between the ages of 25-30, from a state university in the Southeastern United States, voluntarily participated in this study. Participants were six female students and one male student. Four participants were mental health counseling majors, while three were school counseling majors. Data collection included the use of a demographic survey and semi-structured interviews. Three themes developed based on participants‘ experiences. They were (1) ―going above and beyond,‖ (2) ―guide you and explore options,‖ and (3) ―provide support and encouragement.‖ Participants described ―going above and beyond‖ as their mentor performing extra tasks that were not in their job responsibilities. Participants explained ―guide you and explore options‖ in terms of their mentor guiding them in their professional development and career options. The theme ―provide support and encouragement‖ described the participants‘ mentors showing genuine interest in them and providing them with support and encouragement throughout their relationship. A mentoring framework for counselor education is proposed based on previous literature, research, and the current study. The framework contains three categories which are (1) guidance, (2) encouragement, and (3) above and beyond. Implications are provided for counselor educators and recommendations for future research.
