I have been practicing and teaching psychotherapy for more than a decade. I am sought after nationally and internationally for my skills and have been the recipient of many awards. My career began in Paris, France, in 1999 when I obtained a DESS (a specialized diploma equivalent to a PsyD), with high honors, in clinical psychology from the University of Paris. I worked in multiple clinical settings in Paris before coming to the United States. In 2005 I obtained a PhD in clinical psychology from the Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies–Adelphi University, which is considered one of the best programs for psychodynamic therapy training in the country. I proceeded to work for one year in an outpatient clinic and then for six years at Montefiore Medical Center as an attending psychologist providing individual, couple, and group therapy and supervising psychologists. In addition, as an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, I was actively engaged in teaching and supervising psychiatry residents and psychology trainees. I became sought after for my teaching and supervisory skills and became the clinical supervisor to the psychology staff of Fordham University’s counseling center. I also have had the privilege of being part of a small group of mental health professionals selected to train the best psychiatry chief residents in the country. I have received accolades for my teachings. An additional endorsement came from psychologists and psychiatrists who sought me for supervision and therapy.

Everything I would want and need from a therapist.

Dr. Saad has a gift. She is incredibly intuitive, highly trained and instinctively skilled at diagnosing problems and creating solution plans. She is patient, warm, approachable, and accessible. I was deeply moved by our consultation, how open and accommodating she was, and deeply appreciated her overall philosophy of therapy which blends both eastern and western traditions.

I was very apprehensive about therapy but the matching process gave me the confidence to begin and t

The therapist I was matched with has been an extraordinarily good fit. I don't know that I knew exactly what I was looking for in a therapist, and the prospect of "dating around" to find a therapist was really overwhelming. Having an experienced, knowledgeable practitioner match me with someone was such a gift and my experience with my therapist has been truly life changing.

A gem!

I highly recommend Dr. Saad and the psychologists in her group practice. I feel so lucky to have found her and her group practice! It had an amazing initial consultation with her. I was amazed at how quickly she got me! I have tried many therapists before to no avail. What a nice surprise! The therapist she matched me with changed my life. I cannot even begin to describe the changes:) I ended up referring my husband and children to her. They all have different therapists and they are all so so happy with the quality of their treatment. I see changes in them too:) I am not sure how she managed to have such a good team on board. Everyone is good at her practice! If you are reading this, you are lucky! I highly recommend her and her team!

Meaningful and informative session.

I had an excellent intake session with Dr. Saad. I was amazed at how easily and quickly she was able to identify the root cause of some of the feelings and emotions I have been experiencing. Everything that she shared throughout the session resonated with me. I felt that she not only listened to me, but that she understood me. She was warm and made me feel at ease. I felt very comfortable opening up and sharing my experiences and emotions. Additionally, she and her staff are very transparent, responsive, and organized. Overall, my initial interaction with Dr. Saad and her office have been great! I look forward to continuing to receive therapy from this practice.

Excellent. Highly recommend.

In an advance of my first appointment, Dr. Saad provided exceptional guidance and information on practical matters, including cost, and her observations throughout my first teletherapy session were both thoughtful and insightful.

First First Exceptional

I had my initial consultation with Dr Saad and it really exceeded my expectations. I have talked to many therapists in the past however never made it to the second appointment as I did not feel there is an understanding of what I am explaining. This was the first time that Dr Saad was clearly able to explain my situation, symptoms and bringing up situations that I could very well related too. I also really appreciated her hollistic approach and spiritual mindset. Looking forward to my next appointment.

Great virtual session that felt like in-person

I had a great first session with Dr. Saade. I decided to start therapy virtually during the COVID outbreak, and although hesitant at first, Dr. Saade made me feel very comfortable and the session was extremely beneficial to me.

I felt heard and optimistic about this practice being honest with me

I started during a unique time of corona virus and had doubt about the ability to get a worthwhile experience with a video session but those concerns were quickly alleviated. They listen but also engage in a thoughtful and eye opening manner that is a breath of fresh air during these uncertain times

Dr. Saad was very warm, insightful and intuitive.

Having never been in therapy before I wasn’t sure what to expect, but our session was very helpful and gave me a clear path forward.

Feeling more at peace already

I was really hopeful about how this therapy session would go, and I was not disappointed. When you're feeling an intense, all-consuming amount of emotions, it's difficult to imagine that one therapy session will be helpful, but Dr. Saad listened to me so intently, letting me fully speak without any hint of interruption. She really understood my emotions and the current state I'm in, and gave me feedback and insights that I never took into consideration prior to our session. She provided different ways of thinking about my current situation that are making me open up my mind to other possibilities and even seeing a brighter path forward. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is going through difficult times and needs help overcoming hardship.

Very discerning and able to paint a picture

I found the initial consultation with Dr. Saad very impressive. She was able to listen to my ramblings and very quickly paint a quick picture of some of the issues I'm experiencing and help me to understand myself in a different light. She has a very warm and trusting demeanor, and I look forward to future sessions with the psychologist she has matched me with.

a sigh of relief

I have been looking for a therapist for months and have seen a few and nothing has compared to even just my first appointment with Dr. Saad. I felt like she really understood what I had to say and listened without judgement. She give me an very accurate diagnosis that I have been looking for and trying to understand so hearing her input and explanation was a sigh of relief. I am so happy that I found Dr. Saad and her team, the process has been easy and overall a positive experience.

Dr. Yasmin Saad is amazing

I had my first appointment with Dr. Yasmine Saad today. She knew exactly what to ask and quickly understood what is going on. I usually never show emotions. However, Dr. Saad made me feel very comfortable and is an amazing listener. She could explain what was going on in my mind and what struggles I have in a more accurate way than I ever could. She really knows what she is doing! She recommended me a therapist based on my needs

lncredibly perceptive

I walked into the appointment with high expectations, having perused Dr. Saad's credentials and reviews, but my experience proved even more rewarding than I could have imagined. Dr. Saad displayed this uncanny ability to deconstruct my problems, arriving at the cause of my confusion within less than 10 minutes. She thereafter was able to gauge several facets of my personality and idiosyncrasy without my having to explain them. She is kind, patient, and establishes warm rapport from the outset.
