Ambiguity is ubiquitous in life and counseling, and tolerance for ambiguity is a trait that supports counselors in many culturally-relevant aspects of therapeutic relationships. This poster describes the results of a phenomenological study with six master’s-level counseling students. It addresses themes of: wanting clarification, understanding clients, risks, openness, recognizing multiple perspectives, personal and professional changes, and accepting ambiguity and growth. Implications for culturally-relevant practice and counselor education will be addressed, and a handout will be provided.
