I view therapy as a collaborative process where clients are invited to make sense of their experiences in a way that feels authentic to them. Rather than directing the process, I focus on creating a supportive environment where individuals can speak openly, reflect at their own pace, and gain insight into their thoughts and emotions. In the midst of busy and often overwhelming daily life, having intentional time to pause and look inward can be a powerful part of personal growth.
Creating room for reflection can open the door to new perspectives and a deeper awareness of internal experiences. As clients begin to better understand their emotional responses and patterns, they often find greater clarity in how they relate to themselves and others. This increased awareness can support more intentional decision-making and help guide the next steps in their personal growth.
I am a Double Board-Certified nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric mental health and family health. As a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner, I use an integrative and holistic approach to mental health. As a family nurse practitioner, I take into consideration how physical health impacts mood and relationships. I employ evidence-based medication management. Together, we can pinpoint what's causing you stress and navigate towards a balanced state. I employ brief supportive psychotherapy in every session to help patients manage their emotions, particularly those dealing with chronic illnesses or experiencing high levels of stress. By offering empathy and validation, I aim to strengthen coping mechanisms, boost resilience, and enhance overall mental well-being.
As a trauma therapist, I help people overcome terrible things that have happened to them in their lives. Abusive childhoods, violence in interpersonal relationships, rape, sexual assault, and cult survivors are my areas of focus. I help resolve the PTSD that often results from these atrocities, by using EMDR and traditional psychotherapy.
The common lie my clients tell themselves is, “It’s not that bad, other people have it worse.” You’re not other people. You’re allowed to get help.
My name is Selina, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York for 12+ years. My goal is to help adults work through obstacles that keep them feeling trapped and stuck in life.
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’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.
I believe that therapy can be an essential tool used to maintain a well-balanced, healthy, and fulfilling life. As a therapist, I find it important to create a safe and friendly environment. I strive to always be in tune with what you need and assist you in exploring whatever difficulty you may be experiencing.
I am an LMHC in New York. I have been in private practice since 2015. I obtained my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2012 and began working in a residential setting, providing services to adults with chronic mental illness and substance use disorders, receiving numerous promotions along the way. After 11 years, I decided to move onto something new, obtaining a position as a Clinical Director in an outpatient clinic. I recently decided to pursue my private practice full time.
Therapy is a collaborative process, and a strong therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful progress and lasting change. My approach is grounded in a strengths-based, client-centered perspective that supports each person’s capacity for growth and self-understanding. I strive to create a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Whether you are navigating life transitions, managing stress, or seeking greater self-awareness, therapy can provide a space for reflection, healing, and meaningful change.
I am a Columbia University trained psychotherapist and have been practicing therapy for the past 16 years. My style of practice is interactive and relational. This means we will work together and build a relationship from which we can work through what you need help with. I tend to be transparent and will share my thoughts with you. This will be an active therapy experience where we will use our smarts and strengths collaboratively to bring about change. My post graduate training in couple and family therapy gives me a deep understanding of how to help individuals, couples and families struggling with relationship issues.
I believe that we are all best understood when space is made for all that impacts us- including our gender, class, race, sexual orientation, families of origin and how all these parts of us intersects with social context, history and the world around us. I specialize in couple and family therapy and also have extensive experience providing individual therapy
If you would like to see if we would be a good match to work together, the next step would be to set up a 10-15 minute call. Please feel free to call me or you reach out via email to schedule a time for us to talk by phone.

I have a particular passion for working with men, especially guys in their 20s and 30s. A lot of the young men I see are dealing with something the research is only now catching up to — an erosion of in-person connection, a sense of drift, and a shortage of spaces where they can actually say what's going on. I'm genuinely excited and motivated by this work because I believe this generation of men needs — and deserves — real support. That said, I also welcome clients navigating anxiety, discouragement, depression, workplace stress, relationship dynamics, and life transitions of all kinds.
I'm a Brooklyn-bred Psychotherapist and earned my LCSW in 2009. I previously worked in the corporate world, and understand pressure, ambition, career transitions, and what it feels like when the thing you've built your identity around stops fitting. Since becoming a therapist, I've worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, substance abuse treatment, and psych rehab before settling into a private practice where I'm focused on the work I care most about.
In life, we all experience challenges. Sometimes all you need is extra support and someone to help guide you through difficult times. If you are experiencing anxiety, fears, stress, anger, depression, adjustment issues, relationship issues, or loss of a loved one, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Therapy can be a powerful next step toward your healing and growth. I am a NY Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a NJ Licensed Professional Counselor. I provide therapy in person at my office in Staten Island and virtually in a private space.
Let me share some information about myself. I am a graduate from Brooklyn College for my BA degree and I attended NYU for my masters degree in social work. I have worked in different setting over the years and really enjoy working with all different age groups. I enjoy families, couples and individuals. I enjoy seeing the progress my clients make once they start to see their own patterns and what they feel they should change.
"Clients start to heal the moment they feel heard".

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Long Island City
Searching for therapists in Long Island City starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s profile can help you understand what they focus on and what sessions may be like.
In Long Island City, your search may include offices near Hunters Point, Court Square, Queens Plaza, or nearby parts of Queens. Local appointment options may be limited by schedule, commute, and availability, so virtual therapy can help expand your choices. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions close to transit or virtual appointments that fit your calendar. You can also narrow your search by therapists accepting new clients, evening or weekend availability, free phone consultations, and the communication style described in each bio.
Therapy in Long Island City 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 appointment. Headway helps you find licensed therapists, many of whom accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
