About Us

Akshita is the heart behind ManoCare. A passionate, compassionate, and purpose-driven psychologist, she founded ManoCare with one goal — to create a safe, inclusive, and empowering space where people of all ages can find support, healing, and the strength to thrive. With over five years of hands-on experience in mainstream and special schools, psychiatric hospitals, NGOs, and private settings, Akshita brings deep clinical insight and a warm, human approach to her work. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology from Amity University, Mumbai, and a Masters degree in Child Psychology from Nottingham Trent University, UK. She has also completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Disability and Rehabilitation Management (PGDDRM) from SNDT University, an RCI-recognised program, and is currently in the process of obtaining her RCI registration. Akshita is trained in over twelve psychotherapeutic approaches, including:Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Transactional Analysis (TA), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Play Therapy and many more. But it’s not just her credentials that define her — it’s her vision. Akshita believes therapy should never feel intimidating or out of reach. She believes it should feel like coming home to yourself. Through ManoCare, she aims to create a mental health hub that blends expert care with heart, offering tailored services for children, adolescents, and adults alike. She is especially committed to making therapy accessible for families from underprivileged and working-class backgrounds — those often overlooked by traditional mental health systems. Her goal is to break stigma, educate communities, and provide support that is authentic, effective, and deeply human.
"I didn't just want to open a clinic — I wanted to create a movement. A space where healing is normalized, voices are heard, and lives are transformed."
