Ruxandra Carp, MD
Board-Certified Psychiatrist in Adult and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
Dr. Carp brings Harvard-affiliated training and advanced psychodynamic experience to a small, careful telehealth practice designed for individuals who want more than symptom management.
Background & Training
Dr. Ruxandra Carp is a board-certified psychiatrist with dual certification in Adult Psychiatry (2012) and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (2013) by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
Beyond her medical training, Dr. Carp holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology (PsyD candidate) and a Master of Arts in Anthropology — an unusual combination that informs her deeply contextual, whole-person approach to psychiatric care.
She is a graduate of a fellowship in psychoanalysis at the Chicago Institute of Psychoanalysis, bringing a rigorous psychodynamic foundation to her clinical work that extends well beyond medication management.

Clinical Philosophy
Good psychiatric care requires more than a diagnosis and a prescription. It requires understanding the full complexity of a person’s life.
Integrated Treatment
Medication management and psychotherapy are considered together — not as separate tracks but as complementary tools in a unified treatment plan.
Careful Diagnosis
Thorough evaluation before treatment. Dr. Carp takes time to understand prior history, current context, and long-term patterns before recommending any course of action.
Patient Autonomy
Treatment options are presented with full information about risks and benefits. Patients choose what works best for them — Dr. Carp’s role is to inform, not to prescribe without consent.
