I am a passionate promoter of health, integrating knowledge and theories learned to promote and deliver quality health care that is safe, compassionate, holistic and patient centered.

I approach therapy as a collaborative and compassionate process where your voice, experience, and goals are central. I believe healing begins in a space that feels safe, respectful, and free of judgment. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, coping with anxiety or depression, or seeking to heal from past wounds, I aim to help you gain deeper insight, build resilience, and feel more connected to yourself and others. My style is warm, attentive, and direct. Clients often tell me they feel truly heard and supported, while also gently challenged to grow. I balance evidence-based techniques with a deep respect for each individual’s unique story. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on meaningful and sustainable change.

I am here to help! I love getting to know my clients and using humor in a safe environment. I primarily treat adolescents, young adults, and adults. I treat a variety of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and adjustment disorders.

I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience working with children, teenagers, adults, couples and families. We navigated through personal, public and professional issues. With over thirty-one years of experience working with people in all walks of life, I employ togetherness in my work with clients.

I’ve been a NY State licensed, nationally board certified Art Psychotherapist (LCAT, ATR-BC) for almost 20 years and a registered yoga teacher (RYT) for nearly as long. I am part of a dynamic team of private practice clinicians and I teach yoga classes in CT. I’ve practiced Art Therapy in a partial-hospitalization program, assisted in the opening of a community art therapy center in New York City and have consulted for nonprofit agencies serving various populations in and around Manhattan.

I am a dedicated licensed mental health counselor with diagnostic privilege- with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve overall well-being. I am committed to providing empathetic and effective counseling services to individuals seeking support.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings including NYU, family court, the school system and a community center. I serve high functioning clients from adolescents, families and adults dealing with everyday life stressors.

I am a seasoned clinical psychologist with expertise in work-related, and family-related, conflicts. I use psychodynamic and systems approaches in my work, which allows me to work well with individuals, couples, families, family businesses, and interpersonal conflict. I also use awareness and biofeedback techniques to help people with medical and anxiety issues. I have spent over 30 years teaching psychology and counseling students and coaching executives using a broad range of clinical tools.

I’m Dr. Joe Yanni, a licensed psychologist with over two decades of experience supporting adolescents, 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 self-contained setting outside New York City. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how anxiety, trauma, family dynamics, and academic demands intersect during key stages of development.

In both school and private practice settings, my work is grounded in trust, compassion, and a desire to help people move forward emotionally and practically. I use an integrative, research-informed approach that blends cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic theory, humanistic care, and lifestyle-based strategies. Therapy should feel collaborative and personalized, not clinical or scripted.

To meet the growing demand for meaningful, high-quality mental health care, I expanded Psychological Services of New York, P.C. to include a carefully selected team of dedicated practitioners. I personally oversee each clinician to ensure that every client receives the same thoughtful, professional, and individualized care that defines our practice. Whether in person at our Westchester offices in Scarsdale and Pleasantville or virtually across New York, my team and I are committed to helping people find clarity, connection, and lasting change.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who has been practicing for over 30 years. I was a hospital administrator for a number of years and enjoy working with a wide range of age groups. I tend to also use humor and unconditional acceptance in working with others.
