Hello and welcome to my practice. I specialize in treating young adults who’ve experienced anxiety, trauma, and OCD. I’m level 1 trained in IFS and have extensive training in depth psychology.
I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Staten Island, NY
I specialize in treating trauma and anxiety, and in working with women as they navigate life transitions like college/graduate school, relationships, marriage and new parenthood.
Through an approach of curiosity, collaboration, and genuine care, I will work with you to explore patterns of thinking, feeling, and reacting that get in the way of your goals. Together, we will discover the origin of long-held self-limiting beliefs and stories whether rooted in past experiences of trauma, attachment wounds or other difficult circumstances. We will identify your triggers and blind spots for these patterns and help you integrate new responses so that you can make intentional choices that are in line with your values and vision for yourself. My hope is that through our work, you will access your authentic voice allowing your innate courage, creativity and wisdom to guide your way.
Whether working with clients through current stresses or healing from past wounds, I use a psychodynamic lens and often integrate somatic and mindfulness interventions to help clients cultivate ease, calm and clarity. I consider therapy a sacred process, and am honored to support each of my clients on their unique journey.

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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Flushing
Searching for therapists in Flushing starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience matches your needs. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that align with what you want to discuss. Some profiles may mention cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, acceptance and commitment therapy, or experience with specific communities or life stages.
Flushing has local options, and the broader Queens area can add more choices for therapy Queens residents can access. If nearby appointment times are limited, virtual care with a New York therapist can expand your search while keeping care tied to your schedule. You may also want to compare availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their style, structure, and areas of focus before you book.
Therapy in Flushing can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, confirm whether your plan is accepted, and view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapists in Flushing, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
