Getting to know Charuta Pednekar
Hi, there. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master's in Social Work from Simmons University, practicing in the field for the past 14 years. I believe in providing care with respect, compassion, sensitivity, and in a non-judgmental way. Life is full of challenges; however, in my experience, I have realized that most of my clients are equally resourceful. Time and time again, I have observed that my clients often resolve their issues with guidance and support.
Many of my clients have said they feel heard and not judged for the decisions they make day in and day out, and I believe this is my strength. I meet my clients where they are and try to understand what they are dealing with. I take the time to understand your struggles and craft a treatment plan based on your abilities and strengths.
If you are ready to usher in change in your life, I am here to help.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Therapy enables one to analyze their mood, thinking, emotions and behavior as well as identify areas of distress and dysfunction. No problem is big or small, if it disrupts your well-being then it has to addressed. I strive at creating a safe space for my clients where they can feel safe and explore their painful feelings, analyze the dysfunctional patterns and together work on developing new healthy ways.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Charuta was a great listener, had a calm manner, and it was easy to talk to her. She offered helpful advice regarding my questions as well as good insights. I was very pleased with our session.

A really good therapist! I haven’t gone to therapy in a couple of years and was a little apprehensive, but she put me at ease right away. She was a great listener and made me feel like what I had to say was important. Will definitely be going back.

Charuta is absolutely wonderful. I had a previous therapist who wasn't as open-minded and didn't listen to what I was saying. I was nervous about finding a new therapist, but Charuta is very thoughtful and just the sweetest soul. I'm so glad I found her; she has helped me a lot!

Dr.Pednekar was straight forward on explaining her way of doing things and her work. After introducing herself she made me feel comfortable and went straight to the point in questioning what my main concerns were. She is a great listener and on my first session she already gave me advise on what to do with my certain things I mentioned to her. She is very welcoming as well.

Charuta is very personable and competent as a provider. I felt that she gave a good initial consultation in both logistical and interpersonal sense.
