Yumnah Saad

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Bachelor of Arts & Science degree in Psychology & a Master of Social Work degree in Clinical Social Work, both from Rutgers University.

I have over 13 years of clinical experience providing counseling & case management to a wide range of individuals and families across various placement settings within the community. I incorporate the following treatment modalities in my sessions: DBT, MI, TF-CBT, Mindfulness, & Chairwork Therapy.

Specializing in trauma-informed care that is person-centered and strengths-focused, I believe in taking a collaborative and compassionate approach to counseling in an effort to ensure clients feel seen, heard, & most importantly, validated.

As a BIPOC clinician, I specialize in helping clients navigate cultural and spiritual-related internal conflicts, adversity, and life transitions. I also have extensive experience treating substance use disorders seen through a harm reduction-focused lens.

With a focus on empathic listening and meeting my clients where they are, I am passionate about building a strong rapport in an effort to create a consistently safe space where they can learn to be vulnerable and explore their feelings. I teach my clients effective communication and emotion regulation skills so they can feel empowered to make the changes they desire in their own lives.
