I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years experience working in a variety of nonprofit settings and diverse populations. I have worked with mental health, substance abuse and chronically ill populations and understand the importance of having someone who can listen!
I’m Dr. Joseph Yanni, a licensed psychologist who works with teenagers, college students, young adults, adults, parents, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, school and college stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I earned my Psy.D. in School Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and continue to work as a school psychologist, supporting students with emotional disabilities in a specialized educational setting. This experience has given me a practical understanding of how emotional, academic, social, family, and developmental concerns often overlap.
I use a collaborative, practical, and integrative approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, humanistic and person-centered therapy, behavioral strategies, and lifestyle-based interventions. I believe therapy should be individualized rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. Together, we work to better understand what is contributing to the concern, build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and develop realistic strategies that create meaningful change.
I work especially well with teenagers, college students, young adults, and parents navigating the transition from adolescence into adulthood, while also supporting adults and families facing anxiety, relationship concerns, and other important life challenges. I provide in-person therapy in Scarsdale and Pleasantville, along with virtual therapy throughout New York State.
You've taken a brave step towards self-discovery and growth, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. As a dedicated clinical therapist, I provide a safe and empathetic space where we can work together to navigate challenges and create positive long lasting growth.
I specialize in working with anxiety/stress disorders, depression, and those with difficulty connecting with others around them. Therapy is a collaborative partnership, and I'm here to listen, understand, and guide you.
