Who We Are

Our Mission

We are a group of multidisciplinary educators thrilled about the possibility of creating unique and innovative educational solutions.

Provide support for the different individuals in the education system that is science-based, empathic and highly customized in the hope of addressing the existing gap between educational theory and practice.


Young Minds Consulting was founded by Lauren Young, PhD, in the year 2023.

Throughout her life, Dr. Young experienced education from different perspectives: as a student, as a professor, as a researcher. In doing so, she came to perceive an existing gap between theory and practice; academic research does not translate smoothly into what occurs on a daily basis in different educational settings. Determined to address this gap, she decided to found Young Minds Consulting.

As a result of a profound awareness of the uniqueness of each learner, at Young Minds Consulting, we make use of academic research, not to generalize the learning processes of all individuals, but to focus on enhancing the particular realities of individual learners.

Though current educational systems tend to overlook the individual features of each student, we aim to conceive learners as unique, and we use research as a tool for maximizing each person’s potential. As we strive to provide customized science-based support, in an empathic way, for different facets of education, we address all members of the educational system. Not only students, but also administrators, teachers, parents, etc., as we firmly believe each of these plays an irreplaceable role, which we need to understand and acknowledge in order to maximize educational outcomes.

These are some examples of the needs we wish to address:

  • Parents frequently have a need for expertise, an education professional who understands and communicates the complexities of the educational phenomenon in a clear way. This might look like knowledge of educational theories which explain the cognitive processes of their children, or sorting through the feedback received from schools and translating perceptions into actionable steps forward

  • Schools and educators might need assistance in grounding their practice on solid academic knowledge. As science evolves, new knowledge is constantly being created, but considering the fast pace of schools’ functioning, it is sometimes hard to keep track of these discoveries, fully comprehend their implications, and come up with creative ways of implementing them

At Young Minds Consulting, we are compromised to bringing clarity and effective solutions to these and many other situations within the complex educational sphere.

Our Core Beliefs

  • Ideas can be beautiful and inspiring, but it is research which assures that our educational methods are learner-responsive and constantly evolving. Our work is based upon research which keeps our practice aligned with theory, avoiding the gap that has derailed so many in the past and allowing us.

  • Learners are unique. No two think in the same way, dream in the same way or perceive the world in the same way. A fundamental point of our work is to respect and cherish each learner’s uniqueness and leverage their individual profiles in order to better meet their goals.

  • Parents, educators, students… education involves different people of diverse ages and backgrounds who do not speak the same “language”. Still, they all play a key role in the path towards educational success, so fluent communication between them is important. We strive to communicate in a way which is carefully tailored in order to ensure all people involved in education comprehend, and thus can contribute to, their own perspectives.
