Getting to know Ibn Shakoor

Hello, I’m Ibn Sharif Shakoor, EdD, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Cultured Minds Counseling Services. I provide individual therapy for adolescents, adults, student-athletes, creatives, and professionals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, and performance-related concerns. With a background in both education and mental health, I take a collaborative, culturally responsive, and strengths-based approach to therapy. I strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. My goal is to help clients build resilience, develop practical coping skills, and improve their overall emotional well-being.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
