Charuta is simply a natural at therapy. She has a very approachable, kind and genuinely interested way that I appreciate. She comes prepared and "on" every time and I exit with a thoughtful, meaningful and practical takeaway that I'm able to digest and integrate into my life and so far it's been tremendously beneficial for me.

In one call we were able to hash out a foundation for my future treatment. She is very smart and can quickly pin point specific actions that will help you. Highly suggested.

More about Charuta

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LICSW

I am licensed clinical social worker (LICSW)in Massachusetts with 14 years of professional work experience. My expertise are in areas of addictions, end of life issues/grief and loss, & coping with life changes. I have also worked extensively with patients diagnosed with major mental illness and personality disorders.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

I strongly recommend therapy for individuals who want to welcome positive change in their life. Therapy enables one to examine their mood, thinking, behavior and emotions; as well as identify areas of distress and disfunction. Therapy however works only when the individual receiving it is ready for change.

If you are ready to welcome change in your life I am here to support you through the process.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
