My son was admitted for a long treatment course and became very withdrawn and fearful of procedures. Ms Ishika visited him regularly and used play therapy to help him process what was happening. He started looking forward to her visits. Her presence made the hospital stay much less traumatic for our whole family.

We lost a close family member suddenly and my younger child was very affected. Ms Ishika provided grief counselling for my child and also spoke with me as a parent about how to support him at home. Her warmth and patience during that painful time meant a great deal to our family.

My child was going through a difficult illness and I was struggling emotionally as a parent. Ms Ishika not only supported my child but also provided counselling for me. She helped me understand how to be present for my child without letting my own anxiety make things worse. That guidance was invaluable.

My teenage son was struggling with severe anxiety and bullying at school. He refused to speak to anyone about it. Ms Ishika connected with him very naturally. She did not force anything. She used creative activities to help him open up gradually. Over a few sessions he started talking and slowly things improved. We are very grateful.

My daughter has autism and was hospitalised for an unrelated condition. The hospital environment was overwhelming for her. Ms Ishika at Manipal Hospital Yelahanka designed a preparation routine specifically suited to my daughter's sensory needs. She used visual schedules and familiar toys to help her understand what was going to happen before each procedure. She coordinated with the nursing staff to adjust the environment wherever possible. She also spoke to me as a parent and helped me understand how to continue the preparation approach at home between hospital visits. The difference in my daughter's distress levels was significant. Ms Ishika published research on parental coping in autism and you can feel that knowledge in how she approached our specific situation. She is not just kind. She is clinically skilled and genuinely committed to every child she works with. For any family in Bangalore whose child needs psychological support in a hospital setting she is a wonderful choice.

Ms Ishika has a very natural warmth with children. My son who is usually very guarded opened up to her within the first meeting. She uses play and art in a way that feels fun not clinical. Best child psychologist near Yelahanka.

My five year old daughter needed repeated blood draws during her hospital stay and would scream so badly that the nurses could not manage. Ms Ishika Mittal at Manipal Hospital Yelahanka came and spent time with her using toys and simple storytelling. She taught my daughter a breathing technique and gave her a sense of control by letting her choose which hand. The next blood draw my daughter was scared but she did not scream. By the third time she walked in holding her teddy and sat down calmly. I cried. Ms Ishika gave my daughter something no medicine could.

My nephew was going through a mental health crisis and needed immediate support. Ms Ishika provided crisis intervention and suicide prevention support with great sensitivity and professionalism. She followed up consistently and connected us to further resources. Very responsible and caring psychologist.

My daughter was struggling with academic pressure and self esteem issues. Ms Ishika provided structured counselling that helped my daughter develop better coping strategies. She also gave us practical guidance as parents. The improvement in my daughter's confidence has been noticeable.
