Find a therapist in New Providence, NJ — covered by insurance

Hi, my name is YD Goldstein and I'm a clinical psychologist. My specialty is treating OCD, phobias and PTSD. I help adolescents and adults navigate high school, college, dating, academic pressure, work stress, and the exhausting effort of keeping distressing thoughts pushed below the surface.

I also work with new dads adjusting to fatherhood and balancing the demands of their relationships and home life. Many people first reach out to me during a crisis, but once we work through the immediate stress, they often continue in therapy to build resilience, insight, and lasting change.

People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, OCD, stress, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Others are navigating life transitions such as starting college, entering adulthood, changing careers, becoming a parent, caring for aging parents, or moving through perimenopause and menopause. Sometimes there isn’t a single crisis. Instead, there is a growing sense that life feels harder than it should, or that old ways of coping are no longer working.

I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are trying to manage the demands of everyday life while carrying a great deal beneath the surface. Many are bright, capable, and caring people who find themselves overthinking, emotionally exhausted, distracted, stuck in patterns of worry, or struggling to make space for their own needs. Together, we work to better understand what is keeping them stuck, develop practical tools, and create meaningful changes that support a more balanced and fulfilling life.
