Ruxandra Carp MD Psychiatry

I had gone to Dr. Carp when I was a teenager and they helped provide me with a comprehensive understanding of my condition as well as coping mechanisms and habits I could incorporate into my life that I still use to this day. I do not think I would have gotten to where I am today without the help they provided. They where always empathetic and accommodating especially when life events got in the way. I am extremely glad that they provide the service they do and know that any patients they have, present and future, will be in great hands!

I have the pleasure of receiving care from Dr. Carp, and I am very grateful for the treatment and support I've received. She creates a welcoming and non-judgmental space where I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts, concerns, and experiences, and where I feel heard and understood. Her compassionate and empathetic approach makes me feel valued as a person, not just a patient.

Throughout our sessions, Dr. Carp displays genuine care for my well-being. She consistently demonstrates a holistic approach to my treatment, and provides me with knowledge, choices, and recommendations that empower me in my journey towards better mental health. Her guidance has been invaluable in helping me regain control of my life.

Dr. Carp's personalized treatment approach, combined with her warm and empathetic nature, has been instrumental in my progress. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a skilled and dedicated psychiatrist, and am grateful to have connected with her.

I went to see Dr. Carp for help with my anxiety, depression, and life/work stress. Dr. Carp is compassionate and understanding. She listens! She took the time to listen to me and understand my concerns. She also helped me to develop coping mechanisms to deal with my anxiety and depression. I've been seeing Dr. Carp for a over a year and a half, and I've made a lot of progress. I'm feeling more confident and in control of my life. I would definitely recommend Dr. Carp to others who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or life stresses.

I cannot thank Dr. Carp enough for the exceptional care and attention she provided to my daughter during a difficult time. My daughter had been struggling with depression and sleep issues, and the medications she was taking did not seem to be helping. Dr. Carp was very patient, supportive and responsive, working with my daughter to find a different combination of medications. We are very grateful to have found her. She is always available to answer any questions we have, and we feel confident in her expertise and guidance.

I have been working with Ruxandra Carp for the past year. During that time, she has supported me in improving my quality of life, understanding myself deeper, and overcoming numerous barriers. Ruxandra Carp creates a welcoming environment that feels safe and caring. I am grateful for her support on my journey of radical self-care and look forward to where our work together will take me.
I strongly recommend anyone who has struggled to find a good fit reach out to Dr. Carp.

After 3 years of working unsuccessfully with other psychiatrists (both inpatient and outpatient), Dr Carp is the first prescriber to achieve the right balance of meds and dosages for my teenager. The results are like night and day. Dr. Carp's demeanor is compassionate and attentive. She actively listens, talks 'to' you rather than 'at' you. She demonstrates a breadth and depth of understanding with regard to psychopharmacology, and is willing and ready to do more research if/when an individual patient inquires about something that she either hasn't worked with for a while or very often in her practice. I'm very glad to have found her!

I had been searching for months for a new psychiatrist and therapist after my psychiatrist of 12 years retired. From my first meeting with Dr. Carp, I felt understood and listened to. It feels like I am talking to a human being when I meet with Dr. Carp and not a wall with a degree in psychiatry, like some other doctors I talked to in the area did. Dr. Carp ensures I understand the chemistry behind the medications I am on, and how they interact. As someone that has been on medications since my childhood, my previous psychiatrist never really explained why I was on what I was prescribed, but Dr. Carp makes me feel in control of my medication plan and explained why I was put on certain meds, and with her I have since found out that I didn't need to be on such high dosages of some of the medications I was on before. I am so lucky to have found her, and I finally feel heard and understood by a mental health professional - which was so hard for me before. I highly recommend Dr. Carp - she is wonderful!

Dr. Carp is rare in that she deeply respects her patients as collaborators in their care. She has taken me seriously as I try to articulate and advocate for my needs, my evaluation of my issues, and my feelings about what a solution might be and this has had a greatly empowering impact on my life. As a student, it was her care that brought me from barely passing high school to graduating college at the top of my class, something I never thought was possible. She has also been my provider through the unimaginable grief in the aftermath of my mother's death.

Dr. Carp is I think the only doctor I've ever had who has put me on any medication which I have been able to both tolerate and commit to. She is not the type to just throw medications and diagnoses around whimsically in a guessing game like some psychiatrists can be - she listens and really targets her science to meet a patient's needs. I say this as someone who has really struggled for years and with many providers to find the right balance, and this balance was found by Dr. Carp very early on. I can't recommend her highly enough.

She is the right psychiatrist for people who want not only to heal but to transform their lives. The results are material and speak for themselves!

Dr. Carp is the perfect blend of medical and holistic treatment. She is knowledgeable yet caring and I love that she not only prescribes but does talk therapy as well. I had been seeing a psychologist before I started with Dr. Carp and I had gotten to the point where I felt I needed the help of medicine. I didn’t want to give up all the progress I had made through my talk therapy, so Dr Carp was the perfect fit because she did both! I believe that having her know me more personally helped in the prescribing of the right medicines. And when something didn’t seem to work with a certain medication, it was seamless to change because she already knew where my areas of progress and weakness were. She also helped me through some mental blocks of mine through the use of meditation, we even discuss what I experience in my yoga classes outside of my sessions as a truly well rounded approach to my therapy. I came to Dr. Carp in the midst of a hip reconstruction surgery and a death in the family and I felt very lost. Dr. Carp helped me tap into my innate areas of strength and she tailored a treatment plan that was wholly unique to me and my needs. I have an educational background in both the hard sciences and the arts, so Dr. Carps use of both research backed science in conjunction with holistic approaches was a perfect fit for me. I don’t believe I would have been able to handle these circumstances the way I have if it weren't for Dr. Carp and her well rounded treatments. I highly recommend.

Dr. Carp has been a great help to me. I'd been seeing a different therapist for almost 10 years before her--the kind of doctor who threw medication at me like a guinea pig. Thanks to that doctor's treatment I'm dependent on several medications that are not helping me at all. Dr. Carp immediately recognized the problems with my prescriptions, and has been very helpful and knowledgeable in transitioning me to medicine that can actually help me.

Interpersonally, Dr. Carp is warm, thoughtful, and funny. She's very caring and has offered me great encouragement. My only complaint is that we get into such engaging conversation that I sometimes forget to ask her about issues! She's always willing to communicate over text or email if you need something particular as well.

I highly recommend Dr. Carp's services--especially if you are a creative or artistic person who struggles with your vocation. She's very in-tune with the creative soul.

We had a terrible experience with our daughter?s previous prescriber which really made an already difficult experience more traumatic. I had looked and called so many people trying to find the right match for us, only to be disappointed hearing they weren?t accepting new patients or realizing that they weren’t a good fit for her. When we met you, we knew our prayers had been answered. Your genuine warmth and kindness put us at ease immediately. Your willingness to listen, to ask questions, and to work with us has been such a comfort. Given the mental health crisis this country is currently in, we had such little hope of finding a good match and feared we?d need to “settle” for sone one. You have gone above and beyond our expectations. Your medical background is helpful given our daughters complex medical conditions. You are thoughtful before prescribing any medications and made time for us during crisis situations even when we didn?t have an appointment scheduled. You are the best !!!

When I began my process with Ruxandra I was frustrated that she wasn't just going to continue my medicine and dose prescribed to me by my adolescent psychiatrist. But after taking her guidance in trying different medications at lower doses I have now realized how the previous medicines were completely changing my mood for the worse. I now have no significant mood shifts either while taking my medication or while it is wearing off, and feel like myself on and off the medicine.

Dr. Carp is a phenomenal "family oriented" psychiatrist. After searching near and far for the right practitioner for my family's needs, we were so lucky to have found her and don't mind travelling 40 minutes to see her! Within the first few moments of our initial session she shared with us her education, her philosophy and her enthusiasm for working with families. As a family we all felt as if our concerns were heard and considered. We always leave our sessions with new tools in our virtual toolkit to apply to life's challenges. Dr. Carp takes as much time as needed to identify if medication is appropriate and if so what will work best. She readily communicates potential side effects so that her patients are aware of what to expect. In instances where she was prescribing for one of my children, she "read the mood" in the office to ensure that it was appropriate for her to share details of side effects and would certainly hold back if she sensed it would make the child anxious to hear them. She often offers pro-bono services and is always accommodating last minute urgent appointments and/or refill requests. She always goes above and beyond - a rare find these days!! I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Dr. Carp - your search for a compassionate, family-focused psychiatrist is over!! She takes a few different insurance plans as well!

We are extremely pleased with Dr. Carp. She is a very outgoing and friendly. My daughter really identifies with her and finds her extremely easy to talk to. She has put a lot of effort into making her office very comfortable and cozy, and is just as thorough at explaining how my daughters medication works and finding something that is a better fit. We are really happy and are grateful we found her.

Dr Carp has been a godsend! It was so difficult for me to find a psychiatrist for my 16 year old daughter, seems like hardly anyone is taking new patients or they are only seeing patients from a particular PCP, and then the clouds parted and there was a ray of shine and it was Dr Carp! My daughter absolutely adores her and her self confidence has SOARED since their sessions began. On the few sessions I sat in on, I was incredibly impressed by Dr C's insights and perspectives. I believe my relationship with my daughter has streghthened through these visits. She is always totally professional and considerate of out time. She has extended hours which as a working mother, I really appreciate.

Dr. Carp is everything I needed in a Psychiatrist, she is warm, pleasant, funny, considerate, and compassionate...I could go on. I met Dr. Carp at the lowest point of my life. I've been working with Dr. Carp for four years now... keyword being working. It's never been one sided dialogue, she truly listens and offers her insight into helping me come to terms with my "pain" and focus on the here, the now, and the future. If you are not willing to put forth the effort in investing in yourself, no doctor will be able to help you (these days everyone expects instant results). The last four years have been quite a journey for both of us as she takes her work home with her. Dr. Carp truly cares for all her patients and has proven to me she is worthy of my trust, I am eternally grateful to her for her unwavering guidance and support. I see a better man when I look in the mirror.

After a long search I am very glad I have found Dr. Carp. She has been and continues to be a pleasure to work with and her guidance and counseling have been extremely helpful to me in my life. While I cannot go into details, I have had many challenging, affirming and insightful sessions and I look forward to more to come. She has tailored her approach to meet my needs and has keep me interested in actively working on my personal goals.

For a physical review I find her office to be a warm and comforting place. The decor is soothing and the furniture is comfortable. After some very, very hard days it is a quiet area that is soothing to my often frazzled nerves.

I gladly recommend her services to those I know in the real world..

Dr. Carp has been treating me for about 2 years. She's smart, erudite, insightful, remarkably compassionate and professional. Unlike many other physicians she will give of herself and go the extra mile for you. She is also quite knowledgeable about medications and appropriate prescribing. I have seen a number of psychiatrists over the years and she has helped me more than any by guiding me gently and making me think. I am a medical professional, too, and I know whereof I speak. You will not find a better physician.....

Dr. Carp is a compassionate doctor who truly wants to help. She is able to take you through each session with ease and provides insights on how to cope with certain issues and deal with difficult situations. The most valuable part of treatment with Dr. Carp is that she has so much helpful information to share and she helps you get to a place where you feel completely confident in taking on the future.

I have been seeing Dr. Carp for several years, during which she has always been so helpful and continues to have my best interest in mind. She is truly amazing at what she does and her guidance has helped me considerably in maintaining my mental wellness. In addition she has consistently gone above and beyond to accommodate my needs.
