Abstract: This paper highlights the perspective of seven counseling psychology doctoral students' experiences working toward decolonization. Utilizing collaborative autoethnography, this paper centers the experiences of doctoral students who hold various marginalized identities (e.g. BIPOC, LGBTQ+, religious minority). Furthermore, we highlight the lessons we learned and our unique journeys with decolonization. This paper showcases the lived experience of each doctoral student through first-hand accounts of the intrapersonal and interpersonal processes of decolonization, as well as perspectives on confronting colonial legacies embedded within curriculum, research methodologies, and institutional structures. As graduate students, each student has held a number of positions, including student, practitioner, educator, researcher, and community organizers in some capacity. This manuscript contributes to the growing discourse on decolonization within psychology by centering the voices of those actively engaged in this transformative process. Through amplifying diverse perspectives and fostering dialogue, this project underscores the imperative of collective action in reshaping psychology to better serve the needs of all communities. It is a call for structural transformation within the field of Counseling Psychology extending to clinical practice, training, advocacy and curriculum. We acknowledge that our approaches and exposure to decolonization are informed by our diverse backgrounds, as well as ways we may be limited due to existing within these structures.
