She holds a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Clinical Psychology, which forms the foundation of her structured, evidence-based, and client-centered approach to mental health care. She has also worked with international clients, including young adults based in the United States and Southeast Asia, giving her cross-cultural exposure in addressing concerns such as anxiety, burnout, overthinking, and relationship challenges.

She currently works as a coach and psychology professional at Ventoutt, where she provides mental health counseling and therapy-informed guidance to US-based clients.

Her work focuses on building scalable, user-centric mental health solutions that are both practical and evidence-informed.

She is also the founder of Sukoon Mindspace, a Mumbai-based mental health initiative offering counseling services, support groups, workshops, and awareness programs for psychological well-being. Through this initiative, she has worked across corporates, educational institutions, NGOs, and community settings—conducting workshops on stress management, workplace well-being, anxiety, depression, and suicide prevention.

Sakshi's professional experience includes working with multiple mental health platforms such as MantraCare, Healism, ManaSparsha, Mind Mining, and MyndMates, where she has provided one-on-one counseling, facilitated group workshops, and supported individuals across a wide range of concerns including emotional regulation, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She has also contributed to mental health awareness and outreach initiatives through organizations like Paranubhuti Foundation and Shades of Hue, focusing on community impact and psychoeducation.

Earlier in her career, she worked as a Psychology Professional and Program Coordinator at Sisters Living Works, where she was actively involved in suicide prevention initiatives, counseling survivors, and conducting workshops addressing critical mental health challenges. Her early training includes internships at Mindsight Clinic and Jagruti Rehabilitation Center, where she gained hands-on experience in psychological assessment, testing, and therapeutic observation.

Sakshi holds certifications in Trauma-Informed Care (Mind Company™), Psycho-Oncology (Cancer Patients Aid Association), LGBTQ+ Affirmative Practices (NCTSN), and Mindfulness & Anxiety Management (Coursera). These credentials strengthen her ability to work with diverse populations while maintaining a trauma-sensitive, inclusive, and ethical approach. Her approach is empathetic, structured, and non-judgmental—focused on helping individuals understand their emotional patterns, build healthier coping mechanisms, and create sustainable change in their personal and professional lives. She is particularly skilled in working with young adults navigating career stress, relationship uncertainty, emotional overwhelm, and self-doubt.

With a strong combination of clinical training (M.Sc. in Clinical Psychology), practical counseling experience, international exposure, and evidence-based certifications, Sakshi brings both credibility and relatability to her work—making mental health support more accessible, human, and effective.
