Founder and Director of Psychological Services
Hello! I’m Dr. Yasmine Saad, an award-winning psychologist based in New York City and a two-time international best-selling author. You might know me as “The Wise Psychologist,” a title given to me by my clients for my work. I’m honored to have been recognized by Forbes alongside inspirational figures like Tony Robbins.
My work is centered around my Inner Message Approach®, a transformative method I developed to help individuals decode their thoughts and emotions. This approach is designed to empower people to overcome negative patterns and unlock their true potential. USA Today has called me a “visionary,” highlighting how I’m redefining our understanding of the human mind by combining deep wisdom with revolutionary techniques.
As the founder of Madison Park Psychological Services, I lead a team of exceptional psychologists, representing the top 5% in our field. We specialize in providing holistic care to our diverse clientele, integrating ancient Eastern wisdom with modern Western therapeutic techniques. Through my Inner Message Approach®, my team and I have successfully guided countless adults, couples, and children toward wellness in a remarkably short time.
In addition to my clinical practice, I’m an internationally acclaimed speaker, often sharing the stage with icons like Deepak Chopra, Dr. Shefali, Les Brown, and many others. I’m passionate about educating the public on the Inner Message Approach®, and my insights have been featured in over 100 media outlets, including ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC, and Fox.
This exposure has solidified my reputation as a leading authority in psychology and personal development. I’m proud to have my expertise recognized both nationally and internationally, not only as a seasoned practitioner but also as an educator in this fascinating and ever-evolving field.
My approach to therapy is deeply holistic, encompassing all aspects of a person. This philosophy has been profoundly influenced by over a decade of studying Taoist healing principles under the mentorship of Grand Master Nan Lu, the esteemed founder of the Traditional Chinese Medicine World Foundation.
As an experienced psychologist trained in a wide array of therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, and ACT, I recognized early in my career the need for a more expedient route to healing. In my consultations, I often encountered apprehensions about therapy—concerns about the time commitment, reluctance towards a passive therapeutic role, or reluctance to delve extensively into past histories.
My expertise in psychology, coupled with my deep understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine, fueled my conviction that a more efficient path to healing was possible. This led to the birth of my Inner Message Approach®, a standalone method that also complements therapy or coaching.
This approach is grounded in the belief that our thoughts and emotions are not random; they are coded messages that reveal our deepest desires, current state, and even our future direction. They are not to be taken at face value, they are more like dreams, coded messages. They encompass our past, present, and potential future, serving as a window to our innermost self. They call our attention so that we can rebalance ourselves. Through logical inquiry, we can decode these messages, unlocking profound wisdom and insights that facilitate personal growth and smoother life transitions.
My Inner Message Approach® has led countless individuals, couples, and families to feel deeply understood within 10 minutes of talking to me (check our reviews). From there, the roadmap to the inner tweaking was clear with practical steps, leading to major insights and transformation in a remarkably short period.
This approach not only allows you to see yourself more clearly — hence our slogan, “You See You, the Essence of You” — but also empowers you with the knowledge to heal yourself.
Initially, my specialty was in providing initial consultations aimed at swiftly liberating individuals from afflictions such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, relationship issues, and feelings of being “stuck.” Now, my focus has shifted towards training top psychologists in my effective method, thereby expanding the reach of this transformative approach.
With over fifteen years of practice and teaching in psychotherapy, I am recognized both nationally and internationally for my expertise, receiving numerous accolades, including being named consistently as one of the top three psychologists in New York City by Three Best Rated. I have trained many psychologists and helped them build their own group practice, expanding my tailored matching process to reach many through other practices.
My journey began in Paris, France, where I attained the highest level of clinical psychology training and gained experience in various clinical settings. I later pursued a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies at Adelphi University, a prestigious institution renowned for its training in psychodynamic therapy. 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 became the clinical supervisor for Fordham University’s counseling center’s psychology staff.
I also have had the privilege of training some of the country’s top psychiatry chief residents, further solidifying my reputation in the field for my clinical skills, teaching, and supervisory acumen.
I went on to open my own private practice. Building on the success of my private practice and teaching experiences, I founded Madison Park Psychological Services.
This group practice is the culmination of my vision, where psychologists trained by me provide personalized, high-quality treatment. I firmly believe in the synergy between a therapist’s specialty, personality, and communication style with the patient’s needs.
My team is diverse in culture and language, practicing within a multicultural framework that respects and honors individual values and identities. Each clinician is proficient in the Inner Message Approach® and adept at integrating Eastern and Western psychological principles, ensuring the most effective care.
My overarching goal is to help as many people as possible by pairing them with the ideal therapist and equipping them with all the necessary tools for a life free from suffering.
I am deeply committed to impacting mental health on a broader scale, ensuring that everyone has access to the tools they need for emotional well-being. This commitment often takes me beyond the confines of my practice, as I actively participate in the media and various speaking engagements.
In these platforms, I share the principles of my Inner Message Approach®, with the aim of helping individuals break free from the shackles of negative emotions and navigate their relationship challenges more effectively.
My involvement in this larger dialogue about mental health has led me to participate in summits alongside esteemed personalities in psychology and self-development. Additionally, my insights and expertise have been featured in over 100 media outlets, bringing the message of mental health and self-growth to a wide audience. These include appearances on shows like Good Day NY, CBS Good Day Sacramento, and Good Day Austin. My contributions have also been recognized in leading publications such as The American Psychological Association, The National Psychologist, The Huffington Post, USA Today, and Newsweek, among others.
Through these endeavors, I strive to disseminate the transformative potential of the Inner Message Approach®, reaching out to those in need of guidance and support, and contributing to the broader conversation on mental health and personal development.

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.
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.
The therapists at Madison Park Psychological helped change my life. I had tried therapy and medication in the past to no avail and sought their help after being in the throes of a deep depression for years. It wasn’t until I was paired with a therapist who finally understood me that the fog of depression started to lift. It’s been the best investment I’ve made in myself, ever. They really do an amazing job at matching you with the best therapist for you and your needs. This is definitely a special practice and they deserve all the kudos they receive.
Dr. Saad and the therapists in her practice are outstanding! I referred friends to Dr. Saad and everyone had unbelievable results with the therapists in her practice. I love that she has a holistic approach. The therapist she matched me with has helped me so much, I cannot be more grateful! Thank you!
Unbelievable, life changing and I cannot stress that enough. This is a place where you are understood, where you are made to feel comfortable, and there is nothing you can’t talk about because it may feel “too far out there”. They listen, they genuinely listen, they genuinely care, and the place has amazing energy. Safety… I strongly implore everybody even considering it to just make the first appointment and go. Life will no longer be the same. Go on, do it.
I highly recommend Dr. Saad and her team at Madison Park Psychological Services! I was a bit apprehensive about starting therapy though teletherapy / video sessions but Dr. Saad made it so easy from the minute I talked to her on the phone to schedule my appointment. Her initial consultation through teletherapy (video therapy) was eye opening! I learned more about myself than in my past years of therapy. I was blown away! She then matched me with a therapist at Madison Park Psychological Services whom I love. My therapist has helped me heal myself and I can say that in just 4 sessions, I am less anxious and feel so much better! I highly recommend you reach out to this practice and try teletherapy. It has been so effective for me!
Dr. Saad and her team are amazing. I felt comfortable right from the start, but never expected that I would be able to undergo the major transformation that I did with my therapist’s help. My therapist was warm, understanding and insightful. I highly recommend Dr. Saad and her team!!
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
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Khadivi! His initial consultation was enlightening! I felt understood right away and knew I was in good hands. He matched me with a therapist at Madison Park Psychological Services whom I love. I only had 2 sessions with her and I already feel in such a different place from where I was. I have not had a panic attack and not felt as much down as I did. A friend referred me to this practice and I am so grateful! I will be recommending Dr. Khadivi and Madison Park Psychological Services!
Dr Saad and her team of psychologists are amazing! I love the concept: meeting with a senior psychologist who will design and tailor a treatment for me and then pick the best psychologist for me!I first had an initial consult with Dr. Saad and I got so much out of it. She understood me right away and picked a psychologist in her practice who would be best for me. I then met with my therapist and she was great! She has been so helpful! It is so hard to find a good therapist and it was such a relief to find someone good for me. I was so happy that I referred friends and family members. We all got different therapists and think wonders about Dr Saad’s team. I think that this is the best place to seek therapy!
My favorite thing about going to this psychological services office is the initial on boarding process for new patients. I liked that there was an initial appointment with a doctor who then matched you with a long term doctor based on each patients specific needs. Everyone was very nice and flexible with my work schedule. I am very happy with my experience here!
Wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew I needed help but wasn’t sure how talking to someone would provide it. During my consultation I became excited as I started to share my thoughts and learn that someone could help me navigate them. It felt easy and safe to explore. I am looking forward to healing and I am happy that I found THIS practice to do it with.
My experience with Dr. Saad and the therapist she recommended for me exceeded my expectations in every way. With their help I was able to become more aware of my issues and as a result make great changes in my life. My therapist was caring, insightful and warm. I highly recommend Dr. Saad and her team!!
My appointment with Dr. Saad was incredible. In the first few minutes of us speaking i already felt like she understood me and saw me and knew exactly what i was going through. With that said, she was able to pinpoint exactly some of the things i need to work on….she drew the pieces together so quickly and easily and worked with me to come up with a plan of actions. I have kissed a lot of frogs to find the right fit and i finally feel like i am in good hands. I encourage everybody to meet with Dr. Saad. Just even one appointment is life changing. You will see what i mean!!
I met Dr. Saad for a consultation when I was first seeking therapy. I had no idea what to expect, but she was very warm and welcoming, and helped introduce me to the idea of therapy. It was a bit overwhelming emotionally for my first exposure to therapy, but a great first step. She then matched me with someone in her practice who I felt was incredibly helpful in guiding me towards my personal goals
Dr. Khadivi is an amazing therapist! He was able to identify the issues at play in such an accurate way and gave me practical advice. I highly recommend him both for an initial assessment and therapy!
This Qigong class is the first i have ever taken. I will say it has been a life changing experience me, not in the sense that i have had a profound change in my life, mood, character or habits at all but in the way in which it added one of the most effective tools to my ways of dealing with my anxiety, depression and focusing issues. Qigong works! It works for everyone and has clear effects even just two movements into it. Most importantly it has severely healed my mind-body disconnect.
Forever grateful for finding Dr. Saad! Her thoughtful approach to understanding new clientele in order to match them appropriately with her staff is is truly unparalleled. The relationship that I have built with my therapist over just 6 short months has helped improve my life drastically.
The therapy is very tailored and personalized to you. I also find that the practice cares more about your health and progress than about running out the clock. I recommend her to everyone I know.
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.
Unbelievable, life changing and I cannot stress that enough. This is a place where you are understood, where you are made to feel comfortable, and there is nothing you can’t talk about because it may feel “too far out there”. They listen, they genuinely listen, they genuinely care, and the place has amazing energy. Safety… I strongly implore everybody even considering it to just make the first appointment and go. Life will no longer be the same. Go on, do it.
Great First Session. Dr. Saad was great at giving lots of information in a short time period. She was very helpful in quickly coming to a consensus about what was going wrong in my life and how we would work to fix it. She has a different approach to most therapists that I believe will be beneficial to me as I continue to seek therapy. While I’m sad she can’t be my permanent therapist, she is very good at setting you up with someone who will understand what you need and be able to work with you on your issues.
If you need to see a professional, make sure you go to the best. Dr. Saad is the best. Very insightful. Very thoughtful. Combines mental health and wellness from all schools of thought. Not your out-of-the-box therapist or practice.
Good Experience. I am looking forward to treatment. I felt the initial meeting went well and she understood me.
Dr. Khadivi is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, genuine and empathic. I highly recommend him as a Clinical Psychologist, for his integrity and his clinical education, experience, and aptitude. I know him as a professor and through his clinical work and mentoring.
Madison Park is very professional, respectful and flexible in all my interactions with them. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!
Outstanding – would highly recommend. attentive, highly skilled, accessible by email/phone/text, flexible, provides personalized care to meet individual needs
Dr. Saad and her staff are excellent! I have made great progress in a few months thanks to her team.
Extremely adept at immediate assessment. Very nice atmosphere, and strong ability to understand.
Dr. Saad is amazingly quick at spotting the issue at hand. She is empathetic, charming, genuine and exceptionally skilled, especially after seeing a few other practitioners. Thank you Dr. Saad.
Dr. Khadivi is an outstanding clinician and diagnostician! I highly recommend him. He is apparently a big name in the field and is known nationally and internationally. I was lucky, a friend of mine who is in the field recommend him. He was able to diagnose me correctly and provided a very effective, life changing treatment.
Very professional practice that takes the matching process very seriously. Therapy is in a professional environment and convenient location.
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.
I have had an amazing initial consultation with Dr. Saad about 2 years ago. She matched me with a therapist in her practice who has helped me so much. I am eternally grateful to her and Dr. Saad. About a month ago, I had a traumatic event and contacted Dr. Saad again for help, she gave me a therapist who specializes in trauma and already in a month, I feel so much better. I felt compelled at this point to write a review to help others find an amazing therapy place like Dr. Saad’s Group practice. It has been so hard finding the right therapist. The process at Dr.Saad’s practice was seamless and the quality of her therapist is unbelievable. I highly recommend them!
Great experience! Would recommend to friends and family. My favorite thing about going to this psychological services office is the initial on boarding process for new patients.

Everyone was very nice and flexible with my work schedule. I am very happy with my experience here!

I have seen many therapists, no one understood and helped me like Dr. Khadivi. Highly recommended.
Don’t know how they figured it out but their consultations and professionals are the best.
Very welcoming environment and helpful feedback. I was matched to somebody that was a compliment to my personality.
Yasmine Saad is a very dedicated therapist with real human qualities. She has helped me lot seeing things in a different perspective and being more connected to my emotions. What I like about Yasmine Saad’s approach is that she combines her professionnal skills with her intuition and her open-mindedness. Thank you so much Yasmine! You helped me see the sunshine being the clouds and now I feel more confident and connected in my life.
Dr. Yasmine 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
Insightful experience. My session with Dr. Saad was incredibly insightful. In a short amount of time, she was able to pinpoint areas that have been a source of pain, but which I had not previously considered. I appreciated her holistic approach of taking mind, body, and spirit into account. I would highly recommend for anyone to get a consultation with her to get a better understanding of themselves.
She was extremely pleasant and was able to quickly identify the type of treatment I needed. She doesn’t make you feel embarrassed to be there and as someone who is very selective of their doctors I would highly recommend her.
Dr. Yasmine was very attentive and genuine during our first visit. After going through a miscarriage I felt the urgent need to talk to a professional and seek ways to deal with it. She helped shed light and pin point areas that needed improvement and needed adjustments to my thought process. I left feeling at ease and positive. I look forward to implementing and digesting all the feddback she gave me.
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. Yasmine Saad was wonderful. She made us feel welcome, comfortable and safe and was super insightful in just one session.
