I am a board-certified psychiatric registered nurse and completing my psychiatric nurse practitioner program at NYU. I specialize in providing both therapy and medication management. As a queer person of color, my goal is to provide a space that is both inclusive and therapeutic for folx looking to focus on their mental wellness. I follow a more individualized, holistic, and culturally sensitive wellness model when providing care for my clients. I strive to be an educator and advocate for the importance of mental health services for PoC and within the LGBTQIA+ community.

Dr. Backfield-Weiss brings considerable clinical experience, intelligent understanding, emotional warmth, and thoughtful creativity to her therapeutic work with culturally diverse adults, couples, and families struggling with problems in living and working. Her professional practice encompasses 30 years of clinical teaching and supervising at Columbia University, and experience working with individuals contending with unproductive behavior patterns, unstable mood, anxiety, and emotional states, the pain of combined medical and psychological distress, and helping individuals negotiate all forms of creative and emotional expression.

Anxiety and mood disorders were my first areas of expertise. My fascination with relationships led me to study, from the lens of sex, the complicated and delicate dynamics that occur between and within people. This view point has given me a perspective on the interplay between sex, emotional difficulties, relationship patterns and attachment styles. Whether sex and relationship difficulties bring you to treatment or it's your anxiety and mood difficulties; we'll use my understanding of best clinical practices and your history to help you live a more satisfied life, inside and outside the bedroom.

Irritated, isolated, overwhelmed...? In the midst of COVID-19, relationship management is more important than ever. Crisis can bring out the best and worst in you and your circle. Learning the skills to regulate cycles of distress and the courage to repair wounds are crucial to emotional survival and well being. Too much social distance and too much closeness in shared living/working spaces, creates unprecedented challenges in relationships. Trained in the traditions of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and psychoanalysis, I will help you become a more effective (and affective) influencer of your personal and professional ties.

As a psychologist, my goal is to help you to better understand and overcome the obstacles you face and ultimately lead the happy and fulfilling life you deserve. I utilize evidence-based psychotherapy, tailored specifically to you and your needs. Therapy is by no means an easy endeavor, but I strive to provide a environment that is both supportive and challenging. In doing so, I believe I can help you to cope, to develop and maintain satisfying relationships, and to achieve the meaningful and long-lasting change you want.

I work with adults, primarily ages 20's, 30's, 40's, to help resolve relationship issues, reduce emotional distress, and explore feelings that may manifest as depression, unhappiness, or anxiety. I have worked in inpatient rehabilitation programs, out-patient settings and in clients' homes. I am available for face to face sessions in office as well as on-line sessions using Skype or Zoom.

You’ve been feeling stuck and not quite sure how to move forward. Things that were once important to you may have lost meaning, and the things that used to make you feel better are no longer working or don’t last very long. Your inner critic is always present with a self-defeating message or causing you to hesitate. This is not a place you want to be, but you feel unable to change the situation. The time has come to stop living in self-doubt and create the life that you want.

I genuinely believe that all people have the innate capacity for healing. I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression or otherwise struggling with life's many challenges. My main goal is to make you feel supported and comfortable in our working relationship. I utilize a client-centered approach meaning you are the expert on yourself, not me. Sometimes you may not be able to speak directly about certain struggles in your life, but being able to process it visually through art making can be healing in itself. Together, we will navigate you towards living a more meaningful and harmonious life.

Are you feeling isolated in your relationships? While romance may begin in an instant, long-term relationships are not easy to maintain alone. No matter where you are in your relationship, seeking guidance, opening the lines of communication, and establishing safety in emotional expression are the cornerstones of any lasting and fulfilling relationship. I aim to empower my clients to realize the strengths they already possess I work with them, both individually and as couples and families, to utilize those unique strengths to develop a positive narrative for their lives and relationships.

I Understand Where You Are Coming From. I bring a unique blend of training and personal experience to therapy. With an extensive background in Cognitive-Behavioral-Therapy, I zero in on clients' thought processes quickly and accurately to achieve long lasting cognitive, emotional and behavioral changes. With more than 20 years of experience treating a diverse group of people, I am continually rewarded when my clients truly get better-not just feel better. I specialize in clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, anger/stress management, disordered eating/body image disturbance, bipolar disorder, grief/loss, and substance use/abuse.

"I Just Can't Seem to Get Over My Problem..." Does that statement resonate with you? Even successful people can still have unresolved struggles. I help people move beyond their stumbling blocks. Depression, anxiety, relationship problems, disturbing life experiences such as abuse, accidents, traumas, sudden illness/death can all prevent you from happiness. When symptoms persist, you can feel discouraged or defeated. You are not alone! Many clients feel this way when they first see me. Often, they've struggled for quite some time and have tried everything, only to experience partial relief. Hope is always available.

The decision to enter therapy is courageous and important. Removing obstacles (such as anxiety and depression) that prevent well being and overall happiness, creating and enhancing relational experiences, coping with trauma, grief and loss or reaching professional goals are worthy and healthy desires. Whatever the precipitant to ones decision, we all have a need to be respected, heard, understood, and to feel safe, cared for and truly "gotten". It is both my belief and 20 years of experience that tells me these conditions are necessary for long lasting, transformational change to occur. Together, we will actively work on helping you achieve your therapeutic goals.

I believe that we all have a desire to feel at home and positive about ourselves. Sometimes life presents us with experiences and challenges which alters the view we have of ourselves. I provide a non-judgmental and safe professional atmosphere which supports each person's efforts to understand themselves and to restore positive feelings.

I assist individuals who are experiencing depression, anxiety and difficulty coping with life stressors including relationship issues, chronic stress and chronic illness.

I am skilled at assisting couples with achieving better communication, increasing trust, and enhancing intimacy.

When you are physically ill you turn to your doctor, hoping he or she can help you feel better. Problems like depression, anxiety, impulsivity, uncontrollable anger, or low self-confidence can be as painful, if not more so, than physical illness; they can also create serious relationship and work difficulties. I have over 25 years of experience and I have helped many adults, adolescents, and couples who had received limited or no benefit from previous therapists, other doctors, or medications. I work well with people who are skeptical of, or intimidated by, talk therapy.
