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.

Insightful
I felt comfortable in sharing my thoughts. I look forward to the next session
She provides a supportive environment where I can speak feely and make sense of my emotions. I feel a lot better after each session!
The session helped me and really appreciate the valuable feedback.
I was really struggling in my relationship and my own mistakes were pulling my relationship apart. At my partner's suggestion, we saw Yamini Elango Mam, and it was the best decision we could have made. She didn't judge; she just listened with so much patience. She helped me see my own blind spots and faults without making me feel attacked, which was exactly what I needed to actually change. It’s been six months now, and the 'betterment' is real—we’re in such a healthy place. If you feel like your relationship is hitting a wall, please go see her. She truly helps you find the way back to each other.
Was very helpful to talk to Yamini. Helped me explore the causes for my situation
It was first session and so far it's good.
Good, I want to get back to her
Yes,It was a great session with Yamini mam..She showed me my negative thoughts & gave some helpful tips to overcome it gradually...
I struggled a lot with overthinking and second-guessing myself in relationships. Yamini didn’t just offer advice—she helped me explore why I felt the way I did. Her calm and gentle nature made it easy for me to open up and reflect honestly.
