Yasmine Saad

What clients carry out of Yasmine Saad’s office is a clearer sense of themselves and a more workable relationship with the difficulties that brought them in. Working from a psychodynamic foundation, Dr. Saad tailors each course of treatment to the individual — attending closely to personality, present circumstances, and the specific shape a problem takes in daily life. That attentiveness extends to the moments when anxiety spikes mid-scroll or a sleepless mind won’t quiet: her work with panic and worry gives clients concrete tools for interrupting cycles that constant stimulation can make harder to break.

Dr. Saad holds a PhD in clinical psychology from the Derner Institute at Adelphi University and an earlier specialized diploma from the University of Paris, where her clinical career began. She has since worked across outpatient clinics, a major medical center, and academic medicine, supervising psychologists and teaching psychiatry residents alongside maintaining her private practice in New York City. She conducts sessions in English, French, and Spanish, and offers online appointments.

Her practice serves adolescents, adults, and couples navigating depression, anxiety, grief, eating disorders, postpartum adjustment, personality difficulties, and life transitions — meeting people at the point where feeling stuck has become hard to ignore. The goal, as she frames it, is active and collaborative: understand what’s happening, solve real problems, and build genuine room for growth.
