Dr. Backfield-Weiss brings considerable clinical experience, intelligent understanding, emotional warmth, and thoughtful creativity to her clinical work with culturally diverse adults, couples, and families struggling with unproductive behavior patterns; unstable mood and emotional states; the pain of combined medical and psychological distress; and in helping individuals negotiate all forms of creative and emotional expression. Her experience also encompasses extensive work in the field of rehabilitation medicine, the teaching and training of doctoral students at Columbia University, and her own training in fine arts and design.
While highly experienced in conducting therapy based on an extensive repertoire of treatment techniques and approaches, Dr. Backfield-Weiss focuses on establishing a therapeutic protocol, and a clinical and emotional bond, based on the presenting needs of the individual, couple, and family rather than imposing a theoretical orientation to treatment work.
Dr. Backfield-Weiss utilizes her additional experience as a New York State Department of Education expert in psychological and neuropsychological assessment in evaluating learning disabilities, developmental delays, attention deficit disorder, and psychiatric and psychological barriers involved in specific clinical, educational, and vocational difficulties.
