Hello, I’m Dr. Elizabeth Niemiec.
A Board Certified Psychiatrist located in Newport and practicing throughout Rhode Island.
I prescribe medications, and provide talk therapy as needed, to help people struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, sleep disturbances and other conditions that require a psychiatrist’s specialized training and attention.
My experience
I studied at Harvard, Brown and Cornell Universities, and I am board certified in psychiatry. After moving back to Rhode Island in 2014, I practiced at Newport Hospital in both outpatient and inpatient settings. From 2018 to 2022, I practiced at The Brattleboro Retreat in Vermont, seeing patients remotely through ‘tele-psychiatry’. I now see patients both remotely and at my office in Newport.
I use two types of therapy, either alone or in combination.
Medications
Patients often come to me when they are struggling to find the right psychiatric medication. Together, we will consider all the treatment options and come up with a plan that addresses your symptoms while minimizing side effects.
Talk Therapy
Talk Therapy (also known as psychotherapy) may help if you are feeling “stuck” or find yourself repeating unhealthy patterns. Together, we can begin to understand and change the things that keep you from making progress.
Conveniently, my office is located wherever you are.
While I have years of experience treating patients remotely through secure video connections, I prefer to have our first session in person. After that, we can meet at my office in Newport or online, depending on what is best for you.
