Welcome! My name is Dr. Sherika Hairston Scales, and I am passionate about helping individuals navigate
life’s challenges, develop resilience, and unlock their full potential. With over a decade of experience in
counseling, ministry, and coaching, I provide a holistic approach to personal and spiritual development,
drawing on my diverse professional background and extensive training.
I have served as a professional school counselor, behavior specialist, youth pastor, and international youth leader. My experience spans working with students, parents, and communities, fostering growth and addressing behavioral, academic, and spiritual needs. I have also led curriculum development, professional training, and global missions’ initiatives.
Whether you’re navigating the complexities of 504 Plans or IEPs, coping with trauma or mental health
challenges, or simply seeking pastoral counseling, I’m here to help. Together, we can chart a path toward
healing, growth, and purpose.
