Music Therapy
A certified, creative therapy using music for emotional healing
What is Music Therapy?
Music therapy is an evidence-based clinical discipline that uses music — listening, creating, and engaging with it — to address psychological, emotional, and cognitive needs. At Manasvi, music therapy is offered by Manava Londhe, a certified music therapist with a Diploma in Music Therapy from Mumbai University.
Why Music Therapy?
- Non-verbal — accessible when words feel difficult
- Engages emotions in a natural, non-threatening way
- Particularly effective for children and adolescents
- Supports emotional expression and regulation
- Can complement traditional talk therapy
What to expect
Music therapy sessions are tailored to the individual. They may involve active music-making, guided listening, improvisation, or song-writing. No musical ability is required — the focus is entirely on the therapeutic process, not performance.
