Book a therapist or psychiatrist in New Rochelle, NY covered by United Healthcare

My name is Edili Marleny Maldonado, and I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York. I have been working in the mental health field for the past nine years. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, elders, high-risk clients, and clients from different social backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, ages, genders, economic statuses, and mental health disorders.

I have an eclectic approach to therapy. Some approaches that have been consistently receptive with clients are cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, modeling, motivational interviewing, etc., which I generally use. However, I typically prefer to match the clients' needs to specific therapeutic approaches, thereby significantly increasing the effectiveness of treatment.

My desire to help others drove me to work in the mental health field; thus, I strive to help clients improve themselves to lead healthier, fulfilling lives by implementing various coping skills. I aim to empower clients through insight and strategies to enrich their lives further and become self-sufficient in managing their problems, issues, and situations. Thus, clients gain self-awareness, acceptance of self, harmony, and mental balance/equilibrium.

My expertise comprises working with individuals struggling with ADHD, grief/loss, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, panic, stress, and mood disorders. I am also proficient in Spanish and have experience providing treatment in that language.

Let's begin the healthy and healing process together.

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.
