My Story
Our founder, Dr. Ibn Sharif Shakoor, EdD, LPC, brings a unique perspective to the practice. While his doctorate is in higher education, it complements his Bachelor’s degree in elementary counseling and Master’s degree in school counseling. This specialized background creates a niche for working effectively with youth and adolescents, in addition to serving adults. Dr. Shakoor’s expertise is further enriched by his deep appreciation for creativity, sports and its role in personal growth and healing.
