摘要

With the increasing demand for culturally and linguistically responsive mental health services in the United States, the authors examined factors related to counseling self-efficacy (CSE) of English-as-an-Additional-Language (EAL) counselor trainees. Data were collected from 168 EAL counselor trainees with diverse backgrounds, and results indicated that language proficiency positively correlated with CSE, while foreign language anxiety showed a negative association. Notably, perseverance of heritage culture emerged as a key factor, while acculturative stress was not significantly related to CSE. These findings highlight the complex interplay of cultural identity and professional confidence. Implications for EAL CTs and counselor educators and supervisors were provided.
