I’m Linda Orji, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over Eleven years of experience in health care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for individuals with both medical and psychiatric conditions, which deepened my understanding of the powerful connection between the mind, body, and overall well-being.

I love counseling – both giving and receiving. For over 40 years, I have helped adoptive families utilizing my law and counseling degrees.

The counseling aspect spans a wide range of populations, including tweens, seniors, singles, couples, and multiple family members.

I met my wife at graduate school while working on my Master’s in Social Work, and we have since adopted three children.

I’m Dr. Joe Yanni, a licensed psychologist with over two decades of experience supporting adolescents, young adults, adults, and families through life’s challenges. I began my career as a full-time school psychologist, a role I continue to hold, working with students with emotional disabilities in a specialized setting outside New York City. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how anxiety, trauma, family dynamics, emotional regulation, and academic demands can intersect during key stages of development.

My work is grounded in trust, compassion, and a practical desire to help people move forward emotionally and in daily life. I use an integrative, research-informed approach that blends cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic theory, humanistic care, person-centered therapy, and lifestyle-based strategies. Therapy should feel collaborative and personalized, not clinical or scripted.

In private practice, I help clients better understand what is getting in the way, identify patterns that contribute to distress, and develop practical strategies for change. Whether someone is struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, school-related challenges, low confidence, emotional regulation, or life transitions, my goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care that supports clarity, coping, and meaningful progress.

I work best with clients who want therapy to feel thoughtful, active, and practical. My style is warm but direct, and I try to help clients connect insight with real-life change. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and families in person in Scarsdale and Pleasantville, as well as virtually throughout New York State.

I'm a therapist trained in Psychoanalysis and Creative Arts Therapies with twenty years years of experience.

My practice is diverse in terms of culture, race, and sexual orientation. I offer online telehealth in NY and CT. Please reach out with any further questions or to make an appointment.

It's very difficult to be in stressful situations that can cause lots of anxiety and self-doubt. Perhaps you're looking for something more than advice from family and friends. If you're looking for a warm and inviting counseling atmosphere, I am eager to work with you to develop effective coping skills and a greater self-awareness to reach your full potential. Together, you and I can work to set goals that are appropriate and attainable for you, at your pace. For therapy to be effective for you, I work hard to build genuine and long lasting trust.

I have experience working with clients who have suffered from anxiety, depression, and marital issues. Additionally, I believe that cultural factors are critical to the way we navigate through life. I work hard to address cultural matters, to understand how these may impact our perception of the world.
