Biography
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.

Have nothing but good things to say about my experience at this practice. I was apprehensive about starting therapy and didn't know how to begin looking, even, but Dr. Saad matched me with a therapist who's been a true pleasure to work with over the past couple of years.
