“I can't say I've ever had a psychiatry session this thorough, and I was pretty shocked at the amount of time and care Dr. Owusu-mensah took to suss out my complicated history. I felt really listened to. The end conclusion was a new option that didn't come with some bad side effects I'd experienced in the past, and Dr. Owusu-mensah was a consummate professional.”

Dr. Vivian is the type of psychiatrist you look for. She is a consummate professional with an excellent bedside manner during sessions. Intake was quick and well formatted, with some light banter in between to liven up what can be an otherwise very serious and droll process. I genuinely felt she cared about my symptoms and was willing to discuss ways to improve my mental state outside of just medication. I look forward to my next session with Dr. Vivian!
January 15, 2026Peter H.Verified patientVideo visit

I will highly recommend her.
December 3, 2025Kim C.Verified patientVideo visit
My experience was well. I think having it been my first time communicating to a physiatrist in a while, I was able to get a feel of how to better articulate myself. I see where I may have to dive deeper in order for my provider to get a better understanding of situation. I would go back because I can see myself developing a stronger relationship with Dr. Vivian. Communication flowed well and space was held for both of us.

Dr. Mensah was friendly, attentive, informative and flexible. I love that she offers video appointments as late as 9 p.m. I look forward to seeing her again.
November 6, 2024Initials hiddenVideo visit
I really liked this visit and pretty much everything went smoothly. My only feedback is that it was not clear when i booked the appointment that it would take place over Headspace, b/c i was asked to create accounts on multiple websites and did not receive any instructions for how to join the virtual meeting, so i called the "Help" number for the doctor. I should add tho that i scheduled this appointment in less than 24 hours' notice, so i understand if there wasn't time to send usual prep emails.

Dr. Vivian was extremely professional and courteous. She took the time to ask a lot of questions and listened to my concerns. I would recommend her to any of my friends.

She was professional, but warm. For some parts of the visit, it was uncomfortable to talk about some personal things, but Dr. Owusu-Mensah was personable and we were actually able to laugh a little bit together at lighter points in the visit. I was afraid booking an appointment would mean waiting months to be seen, but I booked it on a Thursday and was seen the next Monday. I cannot recommend her enough, she was fantastic and is very trustworthy.

Dr. Was super nice. Gave me the time of day to really understand me and what I’m going through. Left with a follow up appointment and left feeling like I found someone who can get me through anything life throws at me. Appreciate her recommendations! Would refer her to others
