About

Hello! I'm Krista Scarborough, the proud owner and founder of True North Coaching and Consulting. With a passion for empowering youth and a wealth of experience in the field, I'm thrilled to introduce myself and share a bit about my journey with you.

Originally from the northwest suburbs of Chicago, I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Illinois State University. During my time at Illinois State, I interned with the Student Counseling Services, focusing on eating disorder and body image outreach, and with the Department of Psychology, where I researched the spatial language acquisition of 3-5-year-olds. These experiences ignited my passion for helping young people navigate their educational and personal challenges.

After graduating from Illinois State, I was accepted into the School Counseling program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I was fortunate to be offered a graduate assistantship, which allowed me to teach online courses while working towards my Master's degree. This experience further solidified my commitment to supporting students in their academic and personal growth.

I hold a Master's degree in School Counseling from UNLV and am licensed by the state of Nevada as a School Counselor. I've had the privilege of serving as a practicing School Counselor, guiding students through life's challenges and helping them unlock their full potential. Additionally, I've been honored to share my knowledge and expertise as a part-time instructor at UNLV in the Department of Counselor Education, School Psychology, and Human Services.
