Kathryn Fleming-Ives(She/Her/Hers)

Dr. Kathryn Fleming-Ives is a psychiatrist based in Providence, RI. She works with adults over 18 years old. Kathryn's practice is a psychotherapy based practice meaning that she sees patients for psychotherapy alone or for psychotherapy with medication evaluation and management.

While Kathryn is a psychiatrist and believes in the importance of medications when needed, she also identifies as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. This means she believes that unconscious processes can affect how one consciously thinks, feels and behaves and to become aware of these processes can be helpful; becoming aware can free us from pain and allow us to live more fulfulling lives. In addition to psychoanalytic psychotherapy, Kathryn also has training in IPT (Interpersonal Psychotherapy) , CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) as well as a speciality in attachment. She will use whatever tools that she thinks will be most helpful to her patients while maintaining the importance of the therapeutic relationship as fundamental to healing.

In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Fleming-Ives also teaches psychotherapy to psychiatry residents (doctors who are in their speciality training). Her office is located on Hope Street.
