Carmen is the best psych I’ve seen! She took the time to educate me, and based on my history and symptoms was able to give me very knowledgeable explaination and a game plan I felt comfortable with while being super kind and upbeat!
July 15, 2024Lindsay B.Verified patientVideo visit
Very excited to work with her! It’s been a long road of questions going unanswered. I know a diagnosis doesn’t make your life just better instantly but it does give me the answers I need to find a solution. I am very impressed with her education with medications and potential diagnosis. She explained what each step was going to be and what I needed to do next. She walked through side effects/ dosage / medication history etc. can’t wait to see what progress this makes.

December 29, 2023Melanie S.Verified patientVideo visit
I'm a new patient of Carmen's, so I suppose my opinion could change, but so far I'm very impressed. She is easy to talk to, and takes time to answer questions. Her approach is refreshing, instead of shallow long-term medication management like some providers; she clearly goes out of her way to research new approaches, and has an open mind.
December 27, 2023Claudia T.Verified patientVideo visit
Carmen is empathetic, kind, bubbly, and incredibly talented at what she does. Her knowledge on mental health outweighs any psychiatrist I've seen before. Thanks to her, I've been able to switch to meds that work best for me, as well as new vitamins and somatic ways of taking care of myself!

Carmen has been working with me for almost a year now and I can say that she has built a new path for my future and has taken good care of my mental health.
She listens, she asks questions, and she always delivers when it comes to giving me clear information about my health.
I appreciate that there is no veil and no confusion when it comes to what I am being prescribed!
Carmen has a friendly and professional approach to every visit and I always leave feeling better.

Dr. Kosicek was warm and reassuring. She made me feel like I could open up without being judged. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Kosicek is kind, professional and thorough. I actually felt relief after my first visit, like I am in good hands.
Office support and everyone I dealt with was also great. Would highly recommend to family and friends.

Meeting with Carmen was great! Talking with her felt getting a med-evac. I've been struggling for so long and Carmen made me feel like help was on the way. She is a great listener and a passionate patient advocate. I'm looking forward to my continued work with her.

After days of looking for psychiatric support, I am SO lucky to have found Carmen Kosicek.
I am a professional, successful woman in her late 40's.
I have always excelled in high-stress environments. But, the cost of my success was that I had increasing levels of anxiety, depression and alcohol use.
I could find psychiatrists that hit some, but not all 4, except Carmen.
Carmen was the one, unique professional who spoke to all 4. (In addition to a wide range of other areas of expertise!)
From the first moment we spoke, she was warm, gentle and supportive and NOT judgemental at all.
On medications, she dives deep to assess/analyze what medication(s) might be the most effective (and safest) for your unique situation.
If you are hitting a point where your mental health requires more help than what you can handle on your own, Carmen Kosicek is a rare gem that blends expertise and compassion.
I am so grateful to have found her! I hope you can too, she is one in a billion.

I haven't personally gone as far as to Google search 'Best Psychiatrist in the United States' yet, but I would be willing to bet the abundance of excellent care, attention, and knowledge I've personally received from Carmen Kosicek, her assistant Amy, and the Mindful Group, that you'll see Carmen's name if you ask Dr. Google who's best to meet your psychiatric needs.
This is all to say: you are in the right place if you're reading this, and should you pursue a client/practitioner relationship with Carmen Kosicek, you will likely receive the following:
1) prompt attention to ALL your inquiries and messages (usually within the same hour), including email, TEXT, and paper correspondence.
2) A pharmacy (Genoa, in rural Oregon) that ACTUALLY makes one's life easier, not harder. My scripts come to my home via USPS, and I have a separate arrangement with my post office that makes it so that I don't have to DO ANYTHING, like sign, or be home to accept.
3) A truly kind human professional.

She made me feel comfortable right away, was very knowledgeable, and explained her treatment plan and answered my questions very thoroughly.
More than 1 year agoJames W.Verified patientVideo visit
My experience with this provider was average. I felt like she was not a very good listener during our appointments as we met several times and she would forget what we had discussed previously. Provider speaks slowly during appointments and so it appears she is wanting to make the session longer then it needs to be. Furthermore, the provider sort of advertises a few “newer” medications that are not covered by most insurances, and are on the more expensive side. I was informed by the pharmacy that this provider in fact prescribes those exact medications very frequently. The practice pushes for a lot of appointments and the content is very repetitive and overall unnecessary. The provider uses a specialty pharmacy for all of the prescriptions, which I did not like as it comes off very “salesy.” Overall this experience with the provider and her practice gave me a bad feeling. The practice does not appear to be patient centered, but moreso sales and revenue driven.

I was late logging in because I had technical difficulties. Carmen, didn't make me feel bad about it. She was positive throughout the visit and I felt like I had known her for years. I've never been able to open up to someone I just met, but she made me feel safe and like it was ok.

Ease of use, and flexible virtual scheduling.

She's a very nice and considerate person and clearly is extremely knowledgeable.
When compared to previous psychiatrists I've had it felt like she went above and beyond.

Carmen was amazing, she listened to everything I had to say and made recommendations based on my thoughts about my medications

I had a great first session with Carmen. She listened and asked many questions to get to know me and understand my medical history. She was extremely well-informed about the science behind my medication and even showed me clinical trial data. We defined a clear plan for checking in with her again in a few months.
The only downside was that getting all my information to the clinic was a bit confusing. I was contacted several times by both the clinic and another office that they work with and had to fill out several forms in duplicate.

Carmen is beyond amazing! Not only does she have expertise and really know what she is talking about but she is also fun and relational. I look forward to my appointments with her and she makes the process of finding the right medication combinations exciting somehow! 10/10, highly recommend!

I was referred to Carmen after a change in insurance disallowed me to continue with my old provider. She’s thorough, and totally revamped my prescription routine. I was taking an outdated med from the 50’s. I feel like a different person. My resting heartbeat has decreased significantly, to where I may be able to reduce my blood pressure medicine. 10/10 would recommend.

I trust Carmen with my life.
I came to carmen with hopes of getting assessed for adult autism spectrum disorder, and treated for my anxiety. through my time with her she has helped me get diagnosed, finally find medication that works for me, and gotten me in with a therapist that i love. she is a gifted communicator and does not hesitate to offer extra support in areas that need it. she’s incredibly kind and warm, and i always look forward to my appointments with her. i cannot recommend her enough. 10/10, will be with her for life if i can.

After fielding a ton of psychiatrists, I was referred to Carmen from my therapist. Since the first time we met it has been nothing but wonderful. She’s very kind and caring to make sure all of my questions are answered and always sets aside time to see if I have any concerns to address. She was really thoughtful about explaining things in a non judge-mental way and she makes it very clear that she cares deeply about the well being of her patients. I would highly recommend!
