Yamini Profile

I am a qualified counselor with deep expertise in both Psychological Therapy and Academics, boasting over two decades of experience in the field. With a steadfast commitment to client-centered counseling, I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive positive outcomes for those I work with.

My journey in counseling started with my personal connection as the spouse of an Indian Air Force officer. This unique position allowed me to offer my counseling services at various Air Force stations, where I witnessed firsthand the various challenges faced by those in the military community.

For 22 years, I have immersed myself in the educational realm, teaching at multiple Air Force schools and Kendriya Vidyalayas throughout India. My dedication to the holistic development of students isn’t just limited to the classroom. I have been counseling international students for the past 15 years, guiding them through the intricacies of SAT/PSAT/ACT as they aspire for college admissions in the US. Moreover, I’ve had the privilege to tutor US students in the Advanced Placement Psychology course, adding another layer to my academic contributions.

I specialize in student counseling, adeptly handling challenges like peer pressure and learning disabilities. I’m skilled in addressing diverse mental health issues, offering tools for stress, anger, and addiction management. My expertise also covers body image, eating disorders, and mood disorders. Additionally, I guide individuals through cultural adjustments, grief, and relationship dynamics, while fostering personal growth and addressing sleep disorders and time management.

    Yamini Elango had been a counselor, friend, philosopher and guide rolled into one. She quickly got to my concern after spending a mere few mins on who I am and where I am in life. Thank you Yamini for bringing more clarity at a time when I needed it the most.
