Consulted Dr Charuta for my Mother, who was showing low mood, lack of sleep insomnia, irrelevant talking in morning and low energy levels after an emotional trigger. She is over 60 years and she has had these kind of episodes in the past due to emotional triggers which each time has caused severe insomnia and upset mood. Last time we resorted to allopathic sleeping tablets, which also weren't helping enough. Got to know about Dr Charuta's holistic approach with Homeopathy being a Homeopathic Psychiatrist & to our relief she is also a counsellor.
We approached her for homeopathic treatment mainly and we have seen great improvement in our mothers sleep, mood, irrelevant talking and daily functioning with the first 2-3 months of the treatment. She has been having no symptoms of ny sorts since the last 5 months or so and her sleep is sound too. Doctor has suggested to stop the Homeopathic medicines in another months time and assured us that her emotional wellbeing will continue even after.
We have felt very supported and well received by doctors care which has helped us built ***** trust in Homeopathic line of treatment.

I started seeing Dr Charuta a more than a year back for continuous health anxiety, consuming fear of something bad will happen, a constant sense of restlessness or discomfort which I was going through more since COVID times. I was already on an antidepressant for a few years, which wasn't able to help me with all the said symptoms. I wanted to try Homeopathy now and resisted to increase the dosage of my antidepressant.
First 2 consultations with Dr Charuta were focused completely on understanding my entire journey from my very young age till date. All my life experiences, my stressors, my nature and upbringing, ***** details about my existing symptoms of anxiety/depression etc. The process was very enlightening experience for me, and I could see dr Charuta being a very keen listener and eager to get the **** possible data for her Homeopathic prescription. At no point when narrating my data did I feel probed or forced to speak. Her warm, friendly and attentive presence made it a smooth experience. After this the homeopathic medicines were started, and I have been seeing ***** improvement in my state.
I can see that I am very much free of my tormenting anxiety, feelings of discomfort, sleeping better and generally feel much better moodwise.
Dr Charuta also has helped me quite effectively with Homeopathy for intermittent physical ailments like upset stomach, frequent UTI's and viral flus
It's been more than a year that I am on Homeopathic medicines under her care. I highly recommend her to all women with Health anxiety, fears or hormonal disorders to definitely seek help with Dr Charuta

I am deeply grateful for the support and care I have received from Dr Charuta. From the very beginning, she created a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt heard and understood. One of the most impactful aspects of my journey with her has been how gently yet clearly she helped me become aware of my own shortcomings and patterns—never in a critical way, but with compassion and clarity that encouraged self-reflection and growth.
Her approach to treatment has been both professional and humane. The medications she prescribed were well thought out and carefully monitored, and they played a crucial role in stabilising my anxiety, low mood, and overall stress levels. I noticed a gradual but steady improvement, which gave me the strength and emotional balance to function better in my daily life.
What truly sets her apart is her demeanor. She is an excellent listener—patient, calm, and fully present during every session. She never rushes conversations and allows space for thoughts and emotions to unfold naturally. Her calm presence itself is reassuring, especially during moments of heightened anxiety.
She combines clinical expertise with genuine empathy, making mental health care feel less intimidating and more empowering. I feel more self-aware, emotionally stable, and hopeful because of her guidance. I would highly recommend her ** ****** ******* * ************ *** ** *** **** ************* *** **** ****** ************* *** ********** ** *** ********* ********

I started therapy with Dr. Charuta around three to four months ago, attending weekly sessions. Before meeting her, I had seen four or five psychiatrists who dismissed my struggles as overdramatic, leaving me disillusioned with mental healthcare in India. They failed to treat me with acceptance or explore my issues deeply, which made me lose faith in the system. Dr. Charuta was the first professional who truly believed me when I shared my challenges. She assured me that there was something wrong—not with me, but with the circumstances—and that we could work together to fix it. This validation was a turning point, and for the first time, I felt genuinely understood and hopeful.
Dr. Charuta took her time to understand me, dedicating four to five sessions to thoroughly assess my situation. She listened patiently, allowing me to speak without interruption, which I deeply appreciated as someone who struggles with being cut off. Her warmth, kindness, and non-judgmental demeanor made it easier to trust her and open up. Together, we worked on my insecurities, and every session left me with positive motivation to keep going.
What stands out about her approach is how holistic it is. She doesn’t focus solely on the individual but considers the entire ecosystem of challenges. For example, she proactively involved my parents in understanding my borderline personality disorder, offering them therapy without me explicitly asking for it. This shows her dedication to tackling issues at their root and fostering a supportive environment around her patients.
Before meeting Dr. Charuta, I was on allopathic medications that left me feeling numb—like a walking corpse, disconnected from my emotions. Under her guidance, I transitioned to homeopathic treatments, which have been a game changer. Homeopathy has minimal side effects, no withdrawal symptoms, and is a much gentler option for someone like me, who isn’t fond of traditional pills. Dr. Charuta takes her time to formulate personalized medicines after understanding the situation thoroughly, and she even ensures the medications are delivered to your home. Since starting this treatment, my stress-induced and hormonal acne have significantly reduced, which I attribute to the reduction in stress and her holistic guidance.
Healing, as they say, is a non-linear process, with highs and lows along the way. But through it all, Dr. Charuta’s consistent support and positive reinforcement have made a profound difference. She also helped me explore job opportunities, directly and indirectly, and has always been encouraging of my progress. While her advice sometimes feels a little open-ended, I’ve realized it comes from her belief in empowering me to make my own decisions.
Dr. Charuta has changed my perspective on therapy and mental health treatment in India. She listens, understands, and genuinely cares about her patients. I always look forward to our sessions, where I can share all the details of my life and feel heard and supported. If you’re struggling with personality disorders or mental health challenges and need a therapist who will take the time to truly understand and help you, Dr. Charuta is an excellent choice. Her holistic, patient-centered approach and dedication to her work have made an immense difference in my life.

Dr. Charutha takes time to deeply understand the patient and their issues. I consulted her for my Mother, who is suffering with dementia. This is a very difficult ailment both for the patient and close relatives. *** * ** *** *** *** ** ***** ******** ***** *** ********** Dr. Charutha spent several hours talking with me and my mother and only after that started her treatment. She was very transparent with us about the problem and treatment. She takes responsibility and ownership and keeps her own calendar to check on how my mother is doing, when the next medicine is due and her progress. I have never had a doctor follow up on the patient on their own. Every time I have thought that I need to talk to her about the next step, she reaches out to me even before I called her. She has this intuitive abolity to anticipate the next. She really cares about the patient and my mother’s anxiety and mood has improved significantly and I feel that her dementia management is in the right hands. I would highly recommend her based on my personal experience. She is a very dedicated *** ************* Doctor.

*** ******* *** **** **** * ***** ************* I have had anxiety and depression problems before so this wasn't my first psychiatry clinic visit! I was just facing sleep issues, and wanted an easy fix. But she surprised me , ofcourse I was upset knowing about ADD because I didn't want another lable for me, but the esy she explained in detail, it all made so much sense. she took 2 long 2 hour sessions to deeply connect with me and understand every minute detail about my life. I was shocked she was so patiently listening to me blabber ! I wouldn't have entertained myself so much! All the sessions since day one have been very structured and solution oriented.Her responses never felt superficial. I was doing okay ,then when I had a dip in my health again, she was very consistent with the process throughout, giving practical solutions without being too nonchalant. The amount of effort she took the expenses all felt justified. Even when there were cancellations, sh always informed beforehand or made adjustments promptly. I am at peace with myself and health seems to have improved, both physically and mentally all thanks to her. Cycles weren't regular which pretty much got on track. Never thought homeopathy would heal this way .! thanks doc!

I am a male, 40years with Anxiety about health, **** ** ********** what if I get a heart attack, what if something happens to me suddenly were the kind of fearful thoughts that were tormenting me every moment when I first visited Dr Charuta.
I was feeling so stuck with these thoughts that pushing them away and trying to ignore them was getting very difficult. I was unable to go out alone, take public transport alone feeling that what if I collapse?
I started avoiding going out to far away places, avoided outings etc....
When I first met Dr Charuta, the consultation went for more than 60mins, she asked me to narrate my symptoms of anxiety in much detail and also focused on other accompanying symptoms of gut and sleep.
She inquired quite in detail about my personality, work, life stresses etc to find out the root cause of this health anxiety.
For me the consultation was very holistic and satisfying giving me a chance to know more about my symptoms and my core nature.
Today I am 3months into the Homeopathic treatment and I can say, my fears have subsided by 90%. I have made a few solo trips and many group trips in this time span without much fear.
I look forward to 100% betterment with my health anxiety and Gut symptoms of bloating and fullness.
If you feel, that you are battling with health anxiety, I highly recommend Dr. Charuta's treatment for you.

I first approached Dr Deshpande when a friend who had been bed-ridden with severe groin pain was treated by her and brought back on her feet. I had been struggling with hypothyroidism and blood pressure issues and so approached her. My parental family brought us up on homeopathy and that is what I have been treated by most of my life.
Soon after the contact, I was diagnosed with Covid and despite having a pulmonologist in the family who prescribed detailed Allopathic treatment, I preferred to go with Dr Deshpande. And she treated me with minimal medication and no side effects. That cemented my trust in her.
In fact, I have brought my extended family in the US and Australia under her care for suspected Crohn’s, PCOS and newborn issues.
My friends too with chronic problems have been treated effectively by her.
Dr Deshpande is really very versatile.
Her first consultations of an hour each over 3 sessions are very detailed as it sets her groundwork to understand the mental and physical issues affecting the patient from childhood. With each contact, she makes notes and reminds the patient on resolution of symptoms on the follow-up contact.
Dr Deshpande is very approachable and communicative and she is my go-to doctor on any problem, small or big.
I highly recommend her.

I consulted Doctor with MANY issues and wondering if they will get resolved. I WAS having PCOS/conceiving issues, hypothyroidism, anxiety, stress, bloating, acidity, nausea, reflux, overthinking, generalized nervousness, hairfall, lethargy, sleep issues and health related anxiety.
Consulting with the Dr felt like I had unloaded all my problems. Dr was patient and I had long sessions with her, she explained possible root causes, the mechanisms and most importantly the diagnosis, otherwise I had been just dealing with everything separately. I am so grateful for her approach and availability at all times because I needed a lot of convincing and explanations (being myself a dentist)
She gave confidence and I could even go through major events without any medications for anxiety! Every time she would assure and guide me to the right way of dealing with the issue/giving me the skills for stress management. This helped my emotional well-being A LOT. Dr explained the diagnoses medically in detail and also HOW To STOP consulting Google and misdiagnose every issue. I didn't even know that this was causing problems but she recognised and helped me.
Dr treated PCOS/Thyroid issues and the unexplained symptoms/insomnia subsided with hormonal regulation, it was such a relief! I had been on allopathic medications for these but never once felt well.
Counselling along with medications (which were only few) helped me so much that I could finally live daily life, ALL gastric issues resolved and I felt calmer.
It is only been 3 months but there has been improvement in my diet/mood/confidence/gastric issues.
I hope to be completely healed by Grace of God and thank the Dr for understanding all issues and helping me especially with PCOS/Thyroid/anxiety/GERD.
Dr Charuta Deshpande is nothing short of a true gem!
In a world where it is rather hard to find a medical professional who doesn't keep looking at the clock or cellphone when consulting with you, she stands tall as a beacon of hope with the exact opposite qualities: patient, never interrupting your vulnerable sharing of symptoms which is integral to her process, she goes out of her way to get nothing but the ENTIRE holistic picture before doling out medicine.
In my previous experience with homeopathy, which has always been satisfactory, I had always experienced a slower process than allopathy, which goes with the domain. However, for certain symptoms, Dr Deshpande was able to have me feeling improved withing hours of experiencing pain and other symptoms.
She is rather kind - in a world where so many patients are being seen by any given doctor, she seems to stand out remarkably in the care taken to follow up with the patient regarding how the medicines are faring and for continued care.
Her approach decidedly scientific, her communications of the condition, its treatment and lifestyle modifications required succinct; yet parallelly her bedside manner is impeccable and counselling skills and generosity truly worth grand mention.
Particularly with the rather delicate symptoms related to PMDD, depression and anxiety, OCD, sexual wellness... she has been masterful in first excavating, then understanding, counselling and finally treating with gentle homeopathy the vulnerable patient at her caring hands.
I would recommend Dr Charuta Deshpande very very highly.
